Ha, this brought back a memory.

I wore 2 layered T shirts to the mall way back in the day when any deviation in style was seen as shocking, (ETA my kids do not understand just how ridiculously conformist the past was, it's hard to believe if you didn't live through it) and this somehow caught the eye of a guy who was in a punk band, which got me into that scene, which, while I wouldn't call it wholesome, probably saved my life, as I was so alienated at school and really unhappy.
