Worse, everyone else loves it, having plenty of laughs. Fortunately, this rarely has any lasting effects aside from everyone having a chuckle at your expense.

The list features shots of angsty Marilyn Manson fans, color-matching divas, and other hilarious photos. Scroll down to enjoy the photos, and don't hesitate to submit your own!
