Hello yes, it is me, once again, three or four years late to a trend hahahaha. I wanted to take that "I did my makeup that I did in high school" just a LITTLE bit further, and COSPLAY as myself from my emo days. BREAK OUT THAT BLACK LINER Y'ALL

Loving the historical accuracy, going as far as checking MySpace. Excellent research
This may be the way futures historians will research our generation!!! 😅
Yes thank you 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐😂
Loving that not only does she still remember her Myspace password but also what her Yahoo account information was. I have some priceless pictures of me in a Brittany Spears outfit and my boyfriend dressed like an old lady and my girlfriends kids putting him in his bra. It was at least Halloween.
@@sarahperkins2340 yeah my high school myspace account (prior to 2010??) is gone and had been filled done ago
@@aelurine Not gonna lie I tried looking for my myspace while watching this haha, couldn't find it, either I can't remember what it was called or it's been deleted. Good work on finding yours!
The striped hoodie is young Rachel’s version of the Sleepy Hollow dress.
😂😂😂 full circle
Hahahaha YES
That’s exactly what I thought hahaha
That dress was awesome!
It is!! I did wonder why she'd recycled the dress into a hoodie when I saw the thumbnail.
For some reason, my brain can't comprehend that Rachel is naturally blonde😂
😂😂👻👻👻👻
Same!🤯
OMG, Same!
I like the blonde on her. It suits her skin tone.
ikr?
"This was my Sweeney Todd phase... which arguably has not ended."
Patiently waiting for Mrs Lovett cosplay
Check her instagram ;)
Ohhh I’d love a 1930’s but make it vintage Mrs. Lovett!
I am so sad to break your perfect Likes score of 666, but I thought you should know that you hit that Magic Number :D
“I’m allergic to 2006” is by far one of the funniest things ever said 😂😂😂
Highly entertaining and great job
Bro...I was BORN in 2006...so I guess that’s understandable lololol
As a person who was a teen in 2006, I totally get her 🤣🤣
To quote that one Tumblr post, "cringe culture is dead and i'm bringing in the corpse for the reward money." This was awesome.
My brain still somehow went *WOW THEY REALLY LOOK LIKE THE SAME PERSON* during the side-by-side reveals at the end
Hahahahaha the BONE STRUCTURE IS DEAD ON!!
I thought the same thing and then I felt like some of it looks like different people. This was an odd feeling. Either way it was very amusing video!
Oh my god, thanks a lot for the trouble of making the subtitles!!! I know they take AGES to be made (and I can't really express the torture that it takes), so it's really nice of you! As a non native English speaker they're really useful at times.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As someone with hearing impairment- also thank you for the subtitles.
+10 points Rachel
As someone with Auditory Processing Disorder, I also thank you! 💖💕💖💕💖
As someone who is hard of hearing, Thank you for the subtitles as well:)
This is the most 06-08 thing ever. The cami that went under everything. The v neck or low scoop neck with cami peaking out. Just. *chefs kiss*
Your husband walks in, sees you, freezes in his tracks, and starts looking frantically for Present Rachel and/or the Time Rift that switched the two Rachels.
Dear Editing Rachel: Your choices are **chefs kiss**
Agreed. **muah**
No kidding. 😘
"It's a sunny day why is it so dark in here"
It's called mood lighting. The house is preparing for the return of your emo self.
lol :D
Rachael is the physical embodiment of the first half of autumn change my mind
😭😭❤️❤️❤️
They know her secrets
She's one of the [whispers] ... Pumpkin People
We all really went through that black eyeliner, striped hoodie, huge bangs, i-hate-my-face-and-i-dont-know-how-to-smile-but-here's-a-peace-sign kinda fase huh.
I'm so glad I'm not a teenager anymore, god.
Rachel: embrace your awkward phase Me: 40 years into it - it's not a PHASE - it's a life goal LMFAO
i absolutely love your profile pic
"Its not a phase mom!"
On february I'll get 30 and I'm still wearing hoodies, skinny pants, a lot of black and hipster T-shirt and I feel so fuckin' fashion :V kjashdkjas
Not sorry
I couldn’t even tell the difference between the pictures. This woman has not aged at all ✨
She does look great. But she's only like 27 right? Unless you have bad genes, party too much or smoke you're not going to severely age in 9 years. I prefer the red hair to the blond it suits her so much:)
@@puggirl415 Good point. I always assume people are way older than me since they accomplish so much
That's exactly what I thought. She could pass for 15 if she wanted to.
@@puggirl415 I think it wouldve been at least 11 years since them photos were taken
@@puggirl415 Unless you have bad genes, party too much or smoke you're not going to severely age in 9 years. I'm not sure about you but in the first 9 years of your life you change drastically.
The few seconds of MCR playing during the wig adjustment was cinematic
😂😂😂😂
Never thought this day would come. Also she's evolved so much.
😂😂❤️❤️
I get the sense that 'kinda trying to be scene but failing' was a common theme for those of us in high school in this era
My high-school self shall never be resurrected, despite how fun this looked. The world hath suffered enough.
Rachel: still don't know how to cover up my acne with makeup. *is perfect*
Me: what acne?
Rachel: exhibit a *zooms in on still perfect face*
Me: What acne?!?!
TH-cam videos always has filters on them. So to her she has acne. But to us viewers of course we wouldn't see her acne.
Hahaha it's definitely there but the camera is a bit more flattering 😂😂
As a current high school senior I can only imagine what my version of this would be in 15 years.
(Breaks out mask) and here folks is the very same mask that protected me from the plague.
I know who's gonna start the next outbreak in 15years now.
@@eduardaarrais 2020 Vintage Plague Gear is going to be all over the ironic fashion immersion VR channels!
@@sonipitts 😆😆
“hello! it’s me! that girl that somehow keeps popping up in your recommendations. you’ve ignored it this long... until this faithful day where you decided to click and deem whether i am worthy or not of thy attention...” why is this actually true? she said that spot on.
😂😂😂😂
Young Rachel looks like she's trying to channel Avril Lavigne.
We all did at that age...I have no idea why tho
As some one a year younger than Rachel, we were. Even if we didn't like her, lol
lol
As someone who was 15 in 2005, can also confirm that everyone channelled Avril 😂
alot of us tried to look like Avril (myself included ! )
Totally related to your warm hand cocoons as I watched with my extra-long sleeves pulled down over my frozen fingers.
Yes! 😂😂🙏🙏
I feel the “want to be myspace scene so bad but could never actually achieve it”😩
RIGHT? why was it so hard? 😂😂😂
I was a wannabe scene queen too! 🤣🤣🤣
@@rachelmaksy Ridiculously hard! I was a broke student, so all the things I wanted to buy I couldn't afford. Lololol
Saaaame. My parents wouldn't let me dress like that in highschool, though. I got as close as I was allowed but it was never enough
@@Sarah_b_curiouser Yeah, neither would my parents. I had the quintessential black liner, teased hair, and a few tees. I knew how to take bomb, convincing pics though! Lol
why does that feels more vintage than 1940s looks
because we all lived to see it
As a fellow former emo fan converted to vintage fashion this video is EVERYTHING
The fact you do the trends way after they have "died", is a reason why I follow you! It's not overwhelming anymore and I don't feel like I need to choose who to watch because its the same thing over and *over* and *OVER*
the clip of you singing along to Helena in that outfit gave me such a visceral high school flashback that I physically recoiled lmfao I Feel this whole video so much
😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was literally one of my favorite parts 🖤
'I'm allergic to 2006' spoke to me on a deeper level.
Fully agreed.
The only good thing of 2006 was Hard Rock Hallelujah by Lordi, to be honest.
I have no idea how old Rachel is, I assumed she was mid-20s but now I’m so confused
I’m still wearing a tank under every top. Those low rise pants gave us PTSD LOL
SAME! We all witnessed too many cracks to leave the 2000's unscathed
YES! The low rise. Very chilly round the middle whenever you had to...I don't know...MOVE.
Yes. I still hate low rose. Or even mid rise pants really.
Yes once I discovered high waisted pants I never looked back
@@JB-hl7tu and thongs! Ew why
as someone who has had a lot of doubts about identity, recently figuring out I am a trans dude, it feels very validating to me to see how much people change from their high school years, and it's probably something not many people think of. so thank you, and your videos are always very entertaining
My high school cosplay would be so easy. Mom jeans, oversized Beatles tshirt, oversized open plaid shirt, doc martens, wash my hair and do no styling whatsoever. I was a grunge kid in the 90s.
Aaaaallll the flannel, damn the heat index...must..wear...flannel
Yup... except I’d go for the flannel wrapped around my waist... why did we do that. My mom called them my butt shirts. I was a bun with a pen holding it together look. My daughter found my cherry reds.... damn her ... my feet grew when I had her. so .. le sigh.. alas.. they are hers.
Same, except Clash t-shirt and clove cigarettes. :-P
Same here. I was sporting Alice in chains shirt minus the docs, lot of us couldn't afford it.
For a moment I thought you must be really young. Style is cyclical n all that I guess.
I think you have just cosplayed all of us from high school.
As someone who graduated in 2002, nope xD LOL
@@TheMistressMisery Wait how old are you?
@@TheMistressMisery wait holy shit are you 36
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty called out right now. Liner only on the bottom lid.. my goodness..
Not me.
The way that we all still remember the lyrics to those songs.. shows us that no one truly leaves the emo phase. She’s still in there.
Can I just say how fkn proud I am of how much Rachel’s channel has grown??
YOU GO GIRL🎃❤️
Thank you bb 😭😭❤️❤️
@@rachelmaksy you’re so welcome❤️❤️😭
Love watching how you changed and grew as a teenager to adult
The black tank top under every outfit was because als the pants where to low an all the t shirt were to high for maximum exposed muffintop.
this! I'm glad I dont have to worry about butt crack any more. low rise jeans suck!
Agreed.
Rachel: "the girl who always pops up in your recommendations"
Me a subscriber with notifications on: *obvious hurt*
Wouldn't it be great if we could just go back to our high school selves, gently grab them by the throat and whisper "No."
a common fantasy of mine LOL
HAHAHA
I thi k I’m the only person I know who actually approves of teen me’s style choices. I wore mostly soft grunge in my early teen years (floral dresses with Docs), and then a very lacy sort of boho chic with some romantic goth elements.
If I had the body for it, I’d definitely be happy to wear it again for at least one dress up. I still think what I wore was really nice.
This made me giggle out loud
I just wanna give past me a hug, really.
Now you should transform into the scene myspace aesthetic your teen self was really trying for
I feel like I STILL wouldn't have the skills 😂😂
@@rachelmaksy 1. We beg to differ, and 2. It would make for a great video, IJS 😏
"I'm allergic to 2006"... same girl. The outtakes at the end were priceless.
This was hysterical and so relatable. The Sherlock wallpaper as the profile background hit too close to home
So glad she's embraced how she shares her sponsors. Its so fun and creative now and definitely makes me want to check them out more!
Visions of Hollister tshirts, low rise jeans and Uggs are alllll coming back now 😳😳😳😳😳
not the uggs 😂
Hahahaha 🙏🙏
As an Australian, I have to say that I really didn’t understand the American Uggs as fashionable shoes thing.
They’re slippers! Extremely comfy and warm slippers, but still only slippers. They’re pyjamas for your feet, and not to be worn outside the house- unless it’s like a late night Maccas run, where no one cares that you’re in your pjs in public.
Don’t get me wrong- I LOVE me some uggs- my feet are cold unless it’s 30C. Though these days I tend to go for the lower slip on types, being disabled and unable to bend down to pull the boot types on. But as much as I adore the confines and warmth (and the fact that I wear them 9 months of the year, basically all day, every day that I’m at home- which is most of the time), I’d never wear them out of the house.
Because they’re slippers! (Well, except for the specially designed winter boots they made, which my Canadian friends tell me are the best winter boots ever).
@@katherinemorelle7115 my freshmen year of college, all the girls wore their Uggs with denim miniskirts and I was so confused...
@@amywardell5843 confused is exactly the right word for it! It just made no sense to me at all.
My version of this:
Reaches to my nearest clothes pile and picks up black jeans, black t, plain black hoody.
Perfect. Never change.
Wooow! She has done some drastic transformations, but this one is insane! She looks *just* like her! I am in awe
I felt this deep in my core. My colours were brighter, but basically the same. I feel self-conscious watching this.
You look almost exactly like my best friend from high school did🤯
She actually died last year and hoooly shit she danced exactly like that to songs like that. It's wild to think how incredibly universal some of the stuff we did as teens was! Dang!
Thanks for the memories 🖤
So many hugs.
I am so sorry that you lost a close friend, I hope her memory is a sweet one.
can’t even imagine what young colorful emo Rachel would think of grown up earth tones vintage Rachel...complete opposite ends of the spectrum
Current high school student (senior) here: I.... don’t know if I love or hate this. I’ll get back to you after the video. Conclusion. It’s both. Middle school me would have wanted to be your friend but would also have been scared of you. Current me... still listens to MCR and spent a life’s savings on concert tickets that got ‘Rona-Ed.
Hopefully the concert will happen next year....
@@megans6660 I hope so too. I'm praying to the emo gods that there will still be tickets available in New York by the time I get my college acceptance stuff back...
I still have the ones that I got it just got postponed in my area (Detroit)
@@megans6660 I still have mine but I’m hoping to be very, very far from Dallas, Texas(my nearest) this time next year
@WW2 Girl the my chemical romance reunion tour
Not me cackling with my morning coffee. The eyeliner sent me over the edge. I flashed back so hard when she put powder on her acne spots. oh my goodness. THE FLATS AT THE END!!!!
Moulin Rouge really is peak cinema. And those costumes!
The "only the waterline" liner was extraordinarily triggering WOW
Rachel sadly taking down her Halloween decorations is so accurate lol 😭
RIP lol
I hate when Spooky Season is over.
My Halloween decorations are still up because they bring me joy.
I am refusing to take my pumpkin fairy lights down. Though I expect my partner will make them magically disappear when it gets time to put up the Christmas lights 🤣
OK VERONICA MARS. The wig without the makeup - giving serous Kristen Bell vibes. Anyone else see it?
Yes
Right?!
What does it mean by "Kristen Bell vibes"?
@@boleyn8463 she resembles Kristen Bell as she appeared in the series Veronica Mars
It's surreal seeing someone in different styles like this
at 55 i am returning to my teenage style and irs what you call retro! it was, even back then.. for interesring clothes, we lived out of op shops. i am so much happier since dressing like this! thank you for the reminders, Rachel! xx
Me: **hears my chemcial romance*
Also me: *my head no*
*has flashbacks*
Same
y'all are weak, I still listen to mcr
@@benutzername1875 the last time i listened to it was last month
If you don’t love me at my high school Rachel, then you don’t deserve me at my current Rachel
My high school cosplay would involve corsets (waist only), pinstripe button downs, pinstripe high tops, black chain pants, a red skinny tie, and a gallon of jet black hair dye...
Can you tell i liked hot topic?
Edit: I really need to do this now!
Also, I love function of beauty.
YESSS love it 🙏😂
Ngl, I actually dressed like that just a few months ago rip
One day young people will actually look back at this style and think: "I wish I was in the year 2000" xD Thank you for this random make over Rachel!
People do that already though
believe me, no one wants to look like that
I did that like two years ago in my emo phase lmao, would've given anything to be a teen in 2005 and be on the scene and all
Oh that green and pink mascara! It transcends time and space 😃
The My chemical romance interlude sent me 🤣 My best friends looked exactly like this, I was a weird mixture of hippie nerd.
"I don't know if this will be interesting to anyone" ??????????? My teenage self feels SEEN.
why did we honestly believe that flat pale faces, no eyebrows, no lipstick, and black eyeliner only UNDErneath our eyes was the hottest look ever?
ngl I feel like this goes for every makeup trend lmao, always have that one thing people will cringe about in the future
Yeah the no eyebrows thing was real special, thankfully I never did the black eyeliner like that, I thought it looked funny on me but oh man were my eyebrows plucked to within an inch of their lives.
I don't see the issue of embracing your natural eyebrows...
It's a culture/time thing. I live in a country where people don't wear a lot of makeup and to me the insta/YT/American makeup of today looks like drag queen makeup.
But I enjoy the artistry and difference in culture 😊
@@joyruppert4710 as someone who lives in the US, and doesn't wear makeup, I think it looks like drag queen makeup as well. But hey, to each their own.
NOW I understand all those moves my daughter makes! Thanks Racheal!
The sleeves on that sweater are *chef kiss* amazing
My high school style was my boyfriend’s Tripp pants, cat ears, and a spiked dog collar. I honestly have no negative feelings about that. There was an inverse Mohawk incident I somewhat regret tho...
"Inverse Mohawk?" Like when Peter Gabriel shaved his head bald down the middle, way back when?
Daaaang!!! Same here
I, too, never succeeded in dressing “scene” but tbh I think my mom was protecting me when she wouldn’t buy me scene clothes because at least now there’s no pictures of me in thigh-high zip-up converse shoes
Same, except for when I got to college (2005) and found the knee-high ones in a second hand shop🤦♀️
ngl that small part of me that wants those knee high converses still exists... I think it's because I never got them lmao
I...bought my kiddo knee high converse...🤷♀️🤦♀️
@@lpuik Just remind yourself how seriously ugly they actually are! 😂
Young Rachel gives me Rose Tyler vibes.
hahaha yeees :'D
"A was basically a coder" dude! MySpace and GaiaOnline for sure taught me html
I applaud you, Madam. Your attention to detail is *chef’s kiss* impeccable.
Dude THANK YOU. Watching you is SO MUCH BETTER than doing psychology observations
😂❤️❤️❤️
At first I was like "wow Rachel has really changed since she was young!" then I saw her transform and realized the true Power of makeup.
Also, for some reason the thumbnail made me think of Cathrine Tate??
Since it’s corona time I have no idea what day it is so when Rachel posts I automatically know it’s Friday...so there ya go!
Rachel,
I recently got into a sort of vintage-esque style that was inspired by you. I live in Japan and today, I got my first compliment on my outfit! It made me really happy to know that others noticed that I dressed differently and that they liked it as much as I do. Thank you!!
Your hair looks so pretty in your pic
your pictures made me laugh out loud, I remember this time in fashion history so well it hurts
I feel like this whole video just... seeped into my bones... All the hot topic... The early 2010s were a fever dream
YUP 😂
I can’t wait till I’m old enough to do this cause I know full well I’m gonna be so cringe at my current alt accidentally green stained hair phase
Lol I felt that. I haven’t been able to dye my hair due to my school’s dress code but.... wow. My eyeliner circa middle school to sophomore year was PAINFUL
Save a couple of iconic outfits to do this with! 😂😂😂
rachel is bringing back emo culture in the "rawring '20s xD"
Oh Rachel- this is the cutest idea! I loved every second of this video! ❤️
"trying to be scene and not quite getting there" hit different
Too. Much. Fun!
I grew up in the 80's and had every kind of hairstyle you could imagine (plus one no one had). I cannot imagine trying to copy my "style" again now. Too much hairspray back then!
Thanks for your upbeat and creative videos. I love every one!
I agree whole-heartedly with the Moulin Rouge statement, though for me Hackers is a close second.
As a history bounding costuber, it was only a matter of time until the 2000's caught up with ye!
I feel this every time some TH-camr talks about finding vintage items at the thrift store and pulls out a 1990's Ralph Lauren polo top. **stares at 1987 graduation photo**
Honestly same,
Except I went all out.
Self cut “scene hair”, chopped band tie to show my shoulders. Skinny jeans and studded belt. Oh but wait don’t forget the jet black hair with pink side bangs. It gets worse.. Angel bite, double nostril, and septum piercings. I was called the scene queen 👸 not sure if that was a joke but I owned it 😂
Oh MAN that was my dream I woulda thought you were so cool 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️😂
TRIGGERED. My hair had been dyed magenta so many times that when I finally decided to bleach it out, it faded to Barbie pink and broke off. lol Also had spider bites, septum piercing, dozens of converse, and HAD to buckle my seatbelt belt on the hip NEVER the front.
Omg you dressed the way I wish I had been allowed to dress
At 3:43 started getting real Halloweentown Grandma vibes, and I am very happy.
As a 26 year old who also wore eyeliner (but usually purple or navy blue) only on the bottom lashes in 2007, this video hit me right in the nostalgia.
Been having an rather awfull time lately, but your videos never fail to bring a smile to my face and a sense of happiness ♥️ Thank you so much for that and for another lovely video 🥰
Aww sending you love and hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@rachelmaksy ❤❤
As I sit here, a 28 year old woman, I have realized that I haven't changed my style, and taste in music has not changed at all.
Brings back the emo fashion memories of HS (haven’t stopped listen to the music). XD rawr ♥️
So Bernadette Banner was my gateway drug into the historical costume side of TH-cam and now I follow like all of you and I am hooked!
Honestly, i'd be terrified of showing how cringey I used to be as a teenager. Kudos to you for the bravery and this was actually a very funny & warm video
I’m glad I’m not the only one who tried to follow the scene trend and failed MISERABLY!
It’s the MCR, FOB, P!ATD, and TØP phase that I’m still in for me.
IMO, most people regret how they dressed in high school.
As someone in high school, I can say that I hate the way I dress even now!
Oh I'm fine with the way I dressed - possibly drawing the line at visible G-string
But the angst! 😱 The angst could power a small town.
I DO NOT MISS IT
I still wear the same clothes xD
Not everyone good sir!
I have two aesthetics: too anxious to wear anything right or restrictive or textured at all OR badass 1950’s and could totally steal your girl. High school is weird.
You look good either way, Rachel. Whatever you do, just be YOU; that's all there really is to it. Don't be what everyone else want you to be.
I am so excited hearing you say you want to get into more 18th century and/or victorian stuff! LOOOVE IT
