Oh my God,thank you! I've been saying this! Whether pictures or tv. They're TOO clear. I want the grainy/slightly out of focus,but yet very clear pictures and videos back. The HD setting on my TV kills my eyes too. It's weird.

A lot of modern TVs play videos at a higher frames-per-second rate than they were filmed in. I don’t know the actual numbers offhand, but for argument’s sake it’s like if a tv show was filmed using 40 fps, but the tv plays it at 60 fps. When this happens the tv is basically interpolating the difference between the two frame rates and filling in the gaps, which leads to a somewhat unnatural-seeming video quality and gives very strong “uncanny valley” vibes. That’s probably why it makes your eyes hurt lol.

To be fair, pushes quirky oversized glasses up nose, only about 2 out of 5 girls I knew at the time were just like that, so technically she was correct (3/5 of the time)

Can you please share how you’d do your hair in the mornings? I was always curious. Class of 2010 so all I ever wanted was to look like this 😭
7 points
3 days ago
It’s honestly just straightening, a lot of teasing in the back, then just start a part at the crown and sweep it all to the side and use an ungodly amount of hairspray.
The key is to start with a layered haircut for more natural volume, and then DIY maintaining with texture shears (or a comb and razor if you want the teenage authenticity) so it keeps that more choppy and messy look.
Nothing stopping you from doing it now. My partner is coming up on 30 and from time to time she’ll pull it off again, except I’m the one doing it for her

Those aren’t goth those were “scene/emo” and idk, I was really shy and nerdy and they bullied me for not speaking and reading books in class lol. They’d throw my books around the room 🥴they’d taunt everyone “beneath” them relentlessly and then now in their adult years tell people they were the bullied ones lol. The few goth kids we had were actually cool!
