#Throwback: What was your first AIM screenname?

Before Snapchat, sliding into one’s DMs, Netflix and Chill, etc., there was the then-so-cool and now-so-embarrassing AOL instant messenger, otherwise known as AIM. Which means, there were AIM screennames.

Now that we are all preoccupied with branding our new #aesthetic, The Tab decided to roll back about 10 years to find out what online identities Brown students have assumed in the past.

And then there are some (like me) whose screennames will forever remain as a constant reminder of bad decisions.  But sometimes, we just have to embrace them.  Follow me on twitter @:
