Don’t be embarrassed, we all went through weird phases during our teenage years!

Following unflattering fads and mimicking what our fave rock stars did was a hobby, so before you criticize today’s youngster on how to idolize Kylie Jenner and copy her every move and look, think of when you did your best Jared Leto’s impression (Thirty Seconds to Mars) through your sophomore year.

And if you were a Panic! At the Disco hardcore fan, you most likely did some of these things: 

1) Straighten your hair
