These childhood photos are f**ken mint!

We can’t remember where exactly we heard it, but at some point in the not-too-distant past, we heard an adage that basically said that as you grow up, you’ll always look back on your past self and feel a little bit embarrassed. That is, apparently, what growing up is all about. And we get it. We’ve all got stories of dodgy sh*t we did as kids and some of us have got some pretty incriminating photos about who we used to be when we were a little bit younger than we are now.

Fortunately for us, some of the internet’s most sharing characters have volunteered childhood photos that reveal a range of horrible fashion choices, questionable phases, and interesting wrong turns on their journeys to discover just who they really are. Take the sheila above. This is, apparently, from a protest in the Ukraine in 1968. She might have the excuse that it’s enforced, but it’s still pretty freaky.

Look, I had some pretty questionable Axl Rose moments myself, but none as bad as this. I hope.

This bloke said he was in the middle of a Vampire phase and had a big thing for Interview With The Vampire.

We couldn’t tell…

If you think that’s bad, you should have seen what he did with his pointy tail.

The 80s, man. It’d be interesting to see just how much hairspray bottles affected the ozone layer.

Is that Devin Townsend?

Finally, the dodgy as f**k nu-metal phase. This look is for when you can’t decide between Korn and Coal Chamber.

Final thought: While we laugh at these, we all know we’ve got something in our closet that’s a little bit dodgy or that might make us shake our heads and laugh today. Do us a favour and upload a pic of yours to the Facebook comments for this post.
