What was your cringe phase like?

I used to strictly listen to death metal, brutal/slam death metal, deathcore and downtempo/beatdown deathcore music back in 10th-12th grade. Being an elitist asshole to everyone about how their music tastes are "shit"/"pop garbage".

I used to listen to dubstep/brostep music.

I used to listen to cliché chugga chug breakdown bands such as Asking Alexandria, Bring Me the Horizon, Capture the Crown, Attila, Emmure, Woe Is Me, Abandon All Ships, Attack Attack, stuff like that throughout high school and even wore an Asking Alexandria hoodie throughout senior year and only washed the hoodie on the weekends.

I used to have a Facebook profile that included my name/URL on one of the band names: "Of Mice and__", "Bringthe Horizon", "Asking_____" (Not going to say my name.)

I used to wear multiple bracelets from Hot Topic and tried to grow out long hair once during the beginning of my junior year.

I used to be a casual brony, watched a lot of My Little Pony episodes from seasons 1-5 and fan videos off of YouTube. (I didn't own merch/accessories, thank goodness.)

I used to be super desperate for a relationship. Asking/flirting/harassing countless people over Facebook, MeetMe and Kik.

I used to be a typical, edgy "know-it-all" atheist claiming "all religious beliefs are false, all Christians are brainwashed and mental, science equals proof and evidence that God isn't real". (10 months ago, I once argued with this person I been friends with for 2 years whom happens to be a born again Christian, I ended up bashing her beliefs and told her how wrong she is. Her & I didn't talk ever since that happened.)

I now feel disgusted/embarrassed of my past self after typing all this down. Yuck.
