Nonconformists?

I'm an emo kid, nonconforming as can be
You'd be nonconforming too if you looked just like me
"The Emo Song"

Traffic was really bad when I drove home from work yesterday, so I cut over to a side street once I reached Everett. There was a pack of teenagers strolling down the middle of the road. There were five or six of them, girls and boys, all dressed in black, with black hair, piercings, tattoos, studs on their clothing, etc. Real badasses. They stayed in the middle of the road even as I came up close to them, then grudgingly moved aside (gray vans winning out over black Vans any day of the week).

They all looked over at me, no doubt expecting to see irritation or even an angry gesture or two. Instead, I was grinning like a fool. They were so cute!!!
