Oh yeah the skater kid -> Bam Margera fan -> HIM fan pipeline was strong back then. They were the first concert I ever went to at the ripe old age of 14, and honestly it was a bit shit (though I can’t expect them to put out their A game at a small venue in Melbourne, I suppose). The way they embraced the colour pink was game changing to me as a hard core emo kid girl though, it was like I had permission to like pink again after years of hardcore “not like other girls” vibes in the scene
