If you saw the famed electro-pop musician Halsey today, "emo" probably would not be the first identifier to come to mind. However, the 'Bad At Love' musician took a turn for the dark side with her Billboard Music Awards dress, and shared her punk roots via Twitter.

Halsey posted an image of her looking fierce on the red carpet with the caption, "my-chemical-romance-Helena.mp3." For everyone who was illegally downloading pop-punk music in 2003, this tweet is clearly for you.

After getting mixed reactions from her following for the reference, Halsey explained that, "I grew up ritualistically attending warped tour and lurking livejournal. Then I became a musician and met all my emo faves. Proud emo and will never deny it. Those bands shaped every bit of me!!!!!!!!! Just like you!"

Fans of the singer are looking forward to seeing if Halsey will take this look even further for the next award show. Maybe some hot pink highlights and fishnet leggings are in her future?
