Anyone else experience extreme dysphoria from watching this video? - eviltoast

I rediscovered this video a few years ago and everytime I watch it, it makes me feel quite sad. I couldn’t quite put a finger on it but now I think it brings me extreme dysphoria because I never got to experience the girl teenage years.

    Isn’t dressing like that part of the teenage girls experience, or am I misunderstanding?

      I grew up a girl and I’m a bit younger than you (just exiting teenage years myself), and I don’t think so. In my experience, teenage girls wore crop tops and high-waisted jeans and lots of black without being emo. I wasn’t the most cognizant of fashion trends, but I do know we weren’t wearing 90s-style bright colors.

        Ah, I get it now. Age difference.

          Yeah, it’s more a function of era than age, if that makes sense.
