    “But my stupid parents gave me that dumb name. Call me Ebony Ravenslayer Moonclaw.” A few weeks later, she runs the whole emo scene.

    As a former Emo teen, That’s an easy one! shorten to Mel and tell them it’s short for melancholy 😂
  • @frnksfrthmmrss
    being named Helena was the most emo thing you could do
  • @berriexcream
    Note to self: give kid cool scene/emo names so they fit in
  • @bernxia
    knew a trad goth named May, legit sweetest person I’ve met but her nickname (what ppl called her not what she called herself) was ‘the mayinator’ legit got me balling on the floor when her friends told me
  • @AubreyIsSoCool
    She could’ve said “My dumb poser parents picked Melissa, but you can call me Kris.”
  • @nemablume
    plot twist: amethyst’s real name is amy smith & jade is Jane delaver
  • All she had to say to fit in was “uGhh my dumbass mom called me Melissa Kristen, but call me Missy Kris” and she’s now their leader

    “I’m Ashley but call me Ash.” 💀 🎀 ⛓️ More like ashy knees :v 👨🏾‍🦯
  • Melissa actually has potential cause you could just be like: "yeah my names Melissa, but I prefer to go by Melancholy" and BANG coolest emo on the block
  • That's when you start calling yourself Shadow or Dusk 😂 (Note: "Shard" might seem like a good idea but the preps WILL start calling you "Shart". Source: emo kid at my HS learned the hard way.)

    I was an emo Melissa from the early 2000s. I just toughened my name up by going by Mel or M.
  • I was blessed to be named Sabrina. Can't get any more "emo" than Sabrina the teenage witch. 😂

    I pulled up to a Emo group with my mullet and they excepted me
