People Share Their Awkward School Photos from Back in the Day

This photo is pure ‘90s chaos in the best way possible—zebra stripes, candy-colored beads, and a giant bow so big it probably had its own locker. The side-smirk scream-laugh combo perfectly captures that fearless riot grrrl spirit: unapologetically loud, defiantly stylish, and about three guitar riffs away from fame.

It’s the kind of picture that looks like it might leap off the page and start its own zine. You just know she spent lunch periods plotting band names and dismantling the patriarchy. Honestly, the bow alone could headline a tour—and we’d totally buy the merch.
