recovering emo


someone who has gone through their emo phase and regrets it. they try to dis-ssociate their current self from their past self by changing clothing styles, hair styles, makeup styles, friend groups (if their friends are still emo or recovering but still too emo for the recovering emo to be around because they now understand how cringy it is, or in most cases, their friends were toxic), music taste and really anything that reminds them of their past phase.

most of them just went through the “edgy hot topic clothes” part of the phase and never did the really dark stuff (though they probably had some kind of mental health problem like depression or anxiety and found emos as people who understood them).

most recovering emos are found in small groups of 5-2 other recovering emos and occasionally make self-deprecating jokes, wear the odd band shirt, make jokes about the other emos as a coping mechanism or frantically worrying because they don’t really have a friend group anymore.

if you see someone like this give ’em a pat on the back for trying to change and probably get better since most emo kids just make your mental health worse. they may seem like bad or judgemental people but they’re just scared of getting new embarr-ssing phases.

sometimes they may go back to doing emo things but they’re really trying and “the music is really good”. please don’t attack recovering emos because it’s scary receiving the messages like “emo is for life” and for some kids, emo isn’t for life.
