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 gives 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 small town teenage life. Plus a discussion hosted by co-curator Molly Miles, to include Jamie Brett, co-founder of the Museum of Youth Culture, and AJ Turner, a composer and academic researching the affectivity of sound and music in performance who spent their teenage years in the 2000s following emo bands around the country, with the intensity of these concerts informing their current musical work.

This programme is curated by Philip Ilson and Molly Miles.
