With lyrics like “Top 5 ways to try and stay sane / No routine is gonna keep you… Read more »

Sometimes we were in all black, and surprisingly, sometimes, we were in pink and yellow. Beanies may have been really tiny, and other times very baggy and oversized. Emo fashion means something different for everyone. We thought it would be fun to rank the different ways… Read more »
