It's the early 2000s and the emo subculture emerges online. Young fans post on YouTube expressing a shared love of the music by uploading personal videos of lip-synching, dancing and emo makeover tutorials, putting their teenage bedrooms on show for the first time in youth culture history.
This programme of DIY YouTube videos give us a snapshot of emo youth culture - showing us fun, freedom, and creativity across fashion and music. There will be a short symposium on emo superstars My Chemical Romance by Eylem Boz and a spoken word performance by Emmeline Hartley to investigate her personal smalltown teenage life. Plus a discussion hosted by co-curator Molly Miles, to include Jamie Brett, co-founder of the Museum of Youth Culture, and emo YouTuber Conor Peek.
This programme is curated by Philip Ilson and Molly Miles.
