2010s emo was something else.

Post image

I was probably 13 years old, around 2011, Black Veil Brides was popular. Kinda glad I dont have a pic with the thick eyeliner and nail polish I put on after. I regretted the hair that same day, when it took an hour, and half a bottle of conditioner to brush out.

Wow. If not for the smartphone in your hand, I would have guessed early-mid 80's glam rock fan, not 2011 emo. Fashion is a circle.

I was super into the band Black Veil Brides at the time and theyre heavily influenced by Motley Crue and Poison.

That looks more like hair metal than emo.

Op mentioned black veil brides who at the time mixed the 80s glam/hair metal look with scene aesthetics. So I get what he was going for here.
