"This is how Friday's at the Concord mall used to look back in 2009. Say hello to all of my friends. We have no lives"
The Concord Mall Rats 2009 V is a fantastic YouTube video that serves as a time capsule for the emo subculture of 2009.
The video was made by a teen who films a group of friends and their conversations as they hang out in a mall parking lot. The kids seem like they're having so much fun goofing around.
Although this was made just a little over a decade ago, the mall-goth subculture feels like an era from another universe. I didn't expect this video to make me feel so nostalgic, but the pre-Instagram era truly was a simpler, more relaxed time for teenagers.
