#and honestly there IS a lot of overlap between punk emo and goth wrt to things like fashion and music

"riddle's dream is his emo phase" noooo 😭 i would fully support my baby boy if he DID have an emo phase but he's punk!! he's not sad and introverted, he's angry and loudly rebellious. he's not dressed in all black or even mostly black like emo fashion is known for, he just dyed PART of his hair black and kept bright, vibrant, in-your-face red as the main color of both his hair and clothing. he wears fishnets and chains and plaid and a choker and big chunky platforms and dramatic makeup and yes, emos can wear these things too because there's quite a bit of overlap between the subcultures, but crucially, jackets covered in patches are not emo. they're much more connected to both metalhead and PUNK fashion. dream!riddle would start out by listening to green day and then he'd also get into the dead kennedys and bad religion and propagandhi and rise against. dream!riddle would be blasting i don't wanna grow up by the descendents through his headphones and having his band do a cover of GFY by amyl and the sniffers as a street performance. i think he probably listens to emo music like my chemical romance as well tbh but first and foremost that boy is punk.
