An Emerson College Timeline

It's as if Paste magazine chronicled and did a ten year study of the students at Emerson for ten years. Amazing.

2000"The Emo": "The proto-hipster’s white belt and guyliner make for a soulful combination."


2002 "The Ashton": His PBR trucker hat and faux vintage t-shirt reveal an obsession with “irony.”

2003 "The Scenester" : "A gaudy tattoo appears on her chest, and she is never spotted without her iPod."


2007 "The Vintage Queen" : "She shops at retro boutiques and posts Holga photos on her blog. She has said that the koi fish cover-up tattoo on her arm symbolizes “nature and love and peace and stuff.” [ed. note: call me crazy (or call me an emersonian) but i like this look. sans the koi tatt]

2008 "The Williamsburg" : "He thoughtfully hangs shutter shades in the deep-V of his white tee, and he’s often seen walking his fixed-gear bike around town while texting with his iPhone."
