this photo (circa 1997), was taken in the courtyard of dan f. long jr. high...
where levels of teenage angst were as high as some of us claimed to have gotten.
where levels of teenage angst were as high as some of us claimed to have gotten.
we weren't quite hippies because we littered the streets with jolly rancher wrappers.
we weren't quite rappers because 8 mile hadn't come out yet.
we weren't quite punks because some of us bathed.
we weren't quite skaters because most of us "fruit-booted."
we weren't quite goths because hot topic hadn't opened yet.
we did, however...
smoke whatever cigarettes we could get from that kid who stole from his parents.
"gank" yin-yang necklaces and nudy playing cards from spencer gifts.
shop for non-conformist clothing at gadzooks and fast forward.
wear pants so big tha they could have easily been turned into 2 pairs of normal sized pants (or 5 pairs of shorts)... jncos inc. is responsible for the great denim depletion of the '90s.
eat at mall food courts and lament about "preps."
headbang and mosh to the grungy sounds of:
nirvana, green day, nine inch nails (NIbackwardsN, if you will) marilyn manson, foo fighters, bush, silverchair, the flaming lips, the cranberries, the smashing pumpkins, pearl jam, and everything else on 94.5, the edge.
we were bangers.
