Went out with a goth when I was 14. Knew she was into dog collars & that but wasn’t very clued into the goth scene and really fucked it for her birthday by buying her a bright green dog lead from the garden centre.

I think I can top the t-shirt thing during my edgy phase:

I once (accidentally) wore a pro knife-crime(*) t-shirt to an anti-knife crime charity event at the Southbank centre.

I realised at the interval and had to wear my hoodie in a stiflingly hot room for the remainder of the evening. When I think about this now I make involuntarily whimpering noises from the embarrassment it causes.

I forgot what the event was in aid of. And I didn’t really pay any attention to my clothes at that time (hence why I bought such a shitty t-shirt).

Is snakebites in this case cider and lager? How does that connect to holes in your face?

Definitely talked about this before on here, but was cajoled by a friend into buying a t-shirt that said “It ain’t gonna suck itself” when I was about 14. Very much a CWBAFT situation for years after that point.

Think I wore it once (with a jumper over it for a fair chunk of time I wore it) before binning it.

I broke up with my girlfriend on A-level results day when we found out we’d be attending different universities. It was not the day of celebration either of us had planned.

I had a t-shirt purchased from Leeds festival in 2005 with just the word ‘SCUM’ written on the front. I remember thinking it was literally the most funny and edgy t-shirt I had ever seen in my life and felt like a right rebel when I wore it.

Briefly owned this t-shirt and wore it Metros in Cardiff where it got lots of appreciative comments (mainly from people who hated Klaxons, even though I really liked them and it was an ironic t-shirt they’d made).

Then I ended up getting fucked on 99p doubles and test tubes of absinthe and threw up all over myself. When I got home I threw the t-shirts and jeans in the wash. Sadly the jeans hadn’t been washed before, and the pocket lining, which was orange for some reason, ran and made the t-shirt a gentle terracotta colour. I chucked it.

As a church-attending teenager: so many things. So many regrettable things. I’m still not 100% convinced I took part in a ‘dance’ interpretation of a DC Talk song because it’s so shameful that I think I’ve blotted it from my memory.
