It was pretty much overnight on the outside. I started growing my hair back and lost the earings. I got a job offer in IL to move up into networking. I really just wanted more money but I had to dress normally for work. At first I tried to put the earings and shit back in after work. It got to be a PITA. So I just stopped. As I matured in my new job and realized there was some decent money to be made. I slowly lost touch with my darelict Pot smoking friends and just basically grew up. No big deal. We all do it at some point. Some later than others.

As for myself I dont think Ive really changed too much at all. Ive known who I am for a while now so no drastic changes. Only real changes are that Ive stopped skating put on a little weight and Im focused more on getting a good education than a kick-ass buzz.

I had a feeling you would post to this Aaron.
For me it was an instant change on the outside. My clothing got more normal. My red velvet coat only makes it out of the closet when Im feeling VERY frisky and my red Docs get even less play. I got rid of the patent leather ones....what a shame. Those will work with normal. The hair went to a normal more SOLID tone and...well I graduated from college.
Its not so much that I wanted to fit in with the rest of the world - I was just trying things to make me happy. Those things made me happy then - and it was the only way I got real attention - THEN people would talk to me and find out who I really was. It made me alot of friends and I met alot of very cool people. I wouldnt say I fit into any MOLD - I just did my thing.
I was always the odd one out. 12 second Camaro piercings and velvet didnt go so well together. I think my cars helped me out though. People would start talking to me about my car instead of my labret or my shoes. Then they would get to know ME and I didnt have to draw their attention with the way I looked. I had another outlet and then things just changed. I realized that MOST people DID look at me in a negative way. I didnt want people to see that.
I know you shouldnt judge a person for how they look or what they wear - but for me it didnt matter. I WAS NOT MY CLOTHES - AND I WAS NOT MY PIERCINGS. SO getting rid of them didnt really matter...I have no regrets - Im happy with the way I turned out just as I was happy with how I looked and felt then.

Ive been pretty much the same with the exception of changing hair styles. Back in highschool I had the ever so popular long hair (only down to the bottom of my ears) parted in the middle. I woke up one day during the summer before my senior year and noticed my hair looked like an ass crack so I cut the majority of it off.
I never had any piercings although I contemplated getting my nips pierced 3 years ago then I realized how stupid that would look. Im still thinking of a tattoo. I have a couple designs in my head but its just hard to get down on paper since Im not a very artistic person.

Hmmmph - maybe it had something to do with our collective generations - the class of the 90s. Me - HS c/o 96. I guess nothing was really going on in our generation. Music was all very diverse by this time no big wars nothing to really bring us all together...so we were all very different.
Maybe after reading that I find that it makes NO SENSE....

I still remember the whole grunge phase when almost everyone wore flannels Docs guys had long hair and everyone was depressed for no good reason. That all ended when Kobain blew his head off.

When I was in my very early teens I had a killer mullet with a bleach blond streak on one side in the back. 
Then I went to shaving my head with a bic razor for a while. Now Ive had the cycle of shaving my head with a #1 set of clippers to letting it grow out to a full inch long! Short...long...short... my hair cut just means im lazy.
