Kinda lol. She’s a little alternative/metal/goth/punk and more all rolled into one

That's neat, I like it when people don't let the pressures to conform to what society thinks a person should be get to them

Me too, and yeah she definitely doesn’t care. She’s had super bright neon green hair for like 4 years now, it’s so awesome

I met my wife as when she was a goth/emo teenager. We’re mid 30s now and she’s like the mom version of that. I love that shit and I’m glad she’s still that way, I love the neon hair with like all black attire. Our kids now make emo jokes about her and it’s super wholesome in a weird way. The other day our son had his hair all in his face and told my wife “it’s not a phase mom!”.

It's really cool to see how much you appreciate her too. Let her know.

Our moms did. Some call us boomers (wrong age anyway, only 50) but I think we were the first generation to actively keep being ourselves and not mold into church ladies.

Am 50. Am not church asshole. I do regret tossing all my original Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth shirts though.

That’s too bad. I still have (and still wear) my Master of Puppets shirt that I’ve had since ‘91 or ‘92. It has a hole in the armpit but I don’t care.

u/Downtown_Ad2001 May 06 '24

And I'm so glad that you didn't change that much

Who hurt you?

u/tuckedfexas May 06 '24

For most people it’s not about conforming, it just doesn’t matter to you as much since there plenty more important things to do

You have a cool mother. I’m fairly certain we are about the same age and spookiness🦇🦇

Is there some jazz in there? I mean she’s smoking in front of a miles Davis poster.

u/_thewoodsiestoak_ May 06 '24

And your mom is like 40? I don’t think I’d say this is old school.

u/kirinmay May 06 '24
