    I’m younger than you folks but the trench coat kids scared the shit out of me after Columbine - mostly because of the media fearmongering. Remember “rock is the devil’s music” days?

    Then I went to HS and became a JNCO jeans and trench coat kid, and the crew was the most down-to-earth and accepting folks I knew. Scariest thing about me back then was how long I could play PC games for every day.

      We all wore black turtlenecks, black pants, black socks, black shoes and black trench coats because we were in drama club and trying to be Eurotrash. Sort of like the Mike Meyers Sprockets SNL sketches but not a joke.

      Kids are stupid.

      I still like black trench coats though.
