I was that age in 2006 and that style was strange to me back then as well

Same. Even as a metalhead adjacent to them, they were still a strange breed of kids. They were harmless though. I couldn't stand the kids that shit on them for entertainment.

It's kinda weird and heartwarming to be 30 something and see that style making a comeback. I hope they live as weird a life as we did back then.

Same, was in high school '04-'08 and maybe 1% of the kids dressed like that. Most of us just wore jeans and t-shirts, and had short haircuts.
