phases/scenes you went through as a teenager

Came across this teen werewolve vid on you tube and can only attribute it to the twilight films but it got me thinking of different phases I went through as a teenager,when I was 12 I got into the whole trash metal thing listening to the likes of slayer,megadeth and anthrax I had the denim jacket with the band patches ,long hair,studded wrist bands.

From that I progressed onto punk rock(dyed hair,safety pins,docs) and a while after into hip-hop,

So ah what phases did you go through when you were younger and how far did you take it?

Trench coat, black clothes, angsty music.

I flirted with the Hare Krishna look when I was 16 or so, had the hairstyle and everything. Was on a well known national TV quizshow and not one, NOT ONE, of the show's producers, make-up artists, cameramen, even the vertically challenged host, mentioned my hair. Took to waving it in front of them and everything, but to no avail.

Gave up after that.

Did you wear the orange robes?

I got involved in organised crime, made quite a name for myself.

The school principal insisted we wear our uniform the first time around. I got on to him about some bollocks about the uniform stifling our individuality on the show and he consented to civvies the next time, but stipulated no fancy dress (he always thought I was weird). Wore a t-shirt with orange on it as a compromise.

Wearing a t-shirt on top of a long sleeve t-shirt

I was a boring bastard as a teenager, and I'm still a boring bastard. I don't seem to have gone through any of the usual phases.

Still, there's the upcoming mid-life crisis to look forward to when I buy myself a Ferrari and lament the fact that I can no longer maintain an erection without pharmaceutical intervention :pac:

Band t-shirts, baggy jeans, piercings, questionable hairstyles 10 years ago.

T-shirts, jeans, tattoos, facial hair today.

Not really much of a change to be honest.

Ruu · 05-05-2014 09:02PM

X-worx jeans, the whole raver thing (minus the drugai). The grunge, baggy trousers look. Also a few pairs of jeans with rips in the knees with peroxide or bleach writing in them.

131spanner · 05-05-2014 09:02PM

I wore a blue ProDrift hoody to school almost every day in 2nd year, it was literally fading away while on me :pac:

Then I got fat when I was about 13, I remember I used to eat two sugared doughnuts and a bottle of Fanta for lunch, Jesus Christ like

then puberty made me kind of an average weight again.

I was always into cars and farm machinery, but got really into it around 16. Still mad into it

2 words for so, so many people.

Frosted tips.

BearBanjer · 05-05-2014 09:07PM

None really. I didn't seen the point in changing my appearance to show I liked certain music or agreed with certain ideals. Still find it bizarre to be honest.

I stayed well away from xworks and eclipse jeans too! Christ they were shocking!

deseil · 05-05-2014 09:10PM

I went through the general little sh#t phase from about 14 to 18...my parents deserve great respect for not killing me during those years.:)

Greenmachine · 05-05-2014 09:12PM

Nike air max, levis 501's 1 blade all over before it was a respectable cut. Drunk every weekend.

Rubberchikken · 05-05-2014 09:17PM

Never did anything, not bloody once.
I must have been the most responsible baby born and it never deviated over the years.

Think i'm too old now to bother rebelling;)

My school was run by nuns they used to confiscate my parka jacket with punk bands tip-exed onto it and make me wear slippers for the day instead of docs...gimme a couple of hallelujahs sista!

Score! Slippers are comfy.

My grandmother, born in 1876, used to say that a stage was what every young girl dreamt of being on when it was just what she was going through.

Did you have one of those haircuts that was just a fringe?

I think his granny missed the point of the trapdoor in the floor.

LETHAL LADY · 05-05-2014 09:32PM

I was a Brosette, then a rocker, a grunge fan and then a raver. I was a mixed up teen.

Links234 · 05-05-2014 09:35PM

I went through a horrible phase of trying to look normal. Thankfully, it didn't last

Hehehe, my hair was fairly normal. I would have still been young enough to get a crack on the arse.

Or the "rats tail" out the back? I remember two lads in my class had the waterfall fringe and the rats tail, until one day the Principal came into the classroom with a scissors each and told them both get rid!

Quite something to see the two 'hard men' reduced to weeping like small children as they'd to cut their own fringe and then each others rats tails off. What was even more difficult was trying not to flinch ourselves under threat of being rapped with the metre stick!

Zed Bank · 05-05-2014 09:39PM

When I was 14 I only wore che Guevara t-shirts and had a Soviet union hoodie. I would not be seen in public without my little red book.

Legs.Eleven · 05-05-2014 09:40PM

Raver x-worx and Prodigy t-shirts phase.

A very brief grunge phase with lumberjack shirts and gypsy skirts, docs, nose ring, multiple ear piercings.

Brit pop phase with Addidas tops and Blur t-shirts that lasted a good few years.

Hippy/alternative phase with long sheep skin coat, stupidly large, purple flares, cords and beads. That went on into my early twenties.

MRnotlob606 · 05-05-2014 09:42PM

I was a rapper in my early teen years, damn it. I have been cured now though

tomwaterford · 05-05-2014 09:45PM

had a friend who got the Ronaldo 2002 haircut:pac::pac:
still gets mocked over it...

nothing unusual for me...just a small knaker drinking stage:o except we were on a beach!!

BearBanjer · 05-05-2014 09:46PM

Oh and if I lived in San Antonio I'd probably have gone through a stage of taking the absolute p!ss out of those twats in the video.
