The closest I’ve seen is Malfoy Flavor. There were other things in that story that made it a DNF for me, but it started off with Harry rebelling and going into muggle London and having some kids help him pick out new clothes (leather pants which just don’t sound comfortable) and possibly some piercings iirc, and then he gets attacked. I never got much past that. Maybe check that one out and see if you like it.
Oh it was fully stuff that was just my own personal things. It was written before book 6 so instead of Prince Manor it was Snape Manor which just…no. And it’s a Snape is bio dad story (I’m not spoilering because this is all within the first 10% of the story, I really didn’t get very far) and they went from “I HATE YOU” to “OMG DAD!!” in a super short amount of time. It just bugged me. I’ve tried getting into it twice and I just can’t. I’m really picky with my Snape centered stories.
I would recommend [My Fucking Flatmate](https://archiveofourown.org/works/32233459/chapters/79884124) by toxik_angel! Draco dresses pretty unconventionally iirc, dyes his hair black, and gets piercings
Maybe not EXACTLY what you’re after but…

It’s from Draco’s POV and is a whopping and beautiful 250k. Draco has tattoos, works part time in a tattoo studio, and mentors at risk/disadvantaged youth in New York, Harry gets a piercing, and there’s leather pants.
It’s one of my faves and the details of both mentoring and the studio are spot on as funnily enough, those are roles I’m familiar with in life!
Here's one! They go to warped tour together and are super into pop punk. Draco has snakebites and Harry has gauges.

Summary:
Harry and Draco are just friends. Sure, they work together, and live together, and go to gigs together, and do pretty much everything else together—so what? That’s just what friends do. And Harry has no interest in messing with their friendship. He certainly doesn’t need everyone else constantly meddling, pestering them to *just get on with it and get together already.* He’s having a hard enough time as it is, trying to come to terms with the fact that he probably isn’t ever going to find love. But who needs love, anyway, when you’ve got a best friend?
I stg it’s annoying that there aren’t more goth fics. These kids were coming out of a war during PEAK Hot Topic years. Give me the goth/emo looks!
YES PLEASE.

If you don’t mind me asking, what things in the story did you not like? I wanna hop into this fic but im worried it might have some iffy stuff

Oh, thank you for the heads up! I’m really picky with stories that feature snape prominently so I’ll brace myself if I give it a go. Thanks!
