not to be dramatic but we desperately need a punk movement to come in and wash away this Instagram model airbrushed picture perfect trend. it’s so damaging……teens, young adults, kids, the Grown….all of us need to just. we need to be sweaty again. we deserve it smeared eyeliner…..idk just. it’s okay if ur hair is greasy please just relax & then get mad about stuff that’s important to you.
okay not to sound like I’m preaching about the meaning of Emo to my mom in 2008 but the thing is, especially when you’re young, things are all messy and sort of falling apart, and you’re confused and angry and sad and that’s alright,
but there used to be this idea among my friends and peers that it was okay to LOOK the way you felt. falling apart? cool, brag about how your eyeliner is on day three and you’re in the same hoodie you always wear. no, it’s not the same as getting help, but at least you’re VENTING.
now, there’s so much pressure to hide it. to bottle it all up. Instagram isn’t the root cause, but it really is a shrine to our current mainstream push to make our lives look perfect to the onlooker. It’s not healthy!!!!
We just need to be allowed to look like shit when we feel like shit again!!!!!
