'Emo might have been a phase to some, but not for us'

A new social group has launched to bring together fans of 2000s subcultures, offering a space for individuals who identify with emos, goths, and moshers to connect and share their enduring passion for the music and style of the era. The initiative aims to foster community among those who continue to embrace the aesthetic and cultural movements that defined the early 2000s, providing a platform for nostalgia and camaraderie. Organizers emphasize inclusivity, welcoming anyone who feels a strong connection to the scene, regardless of how deeply they immersed themselves in it during its peak. For those who grew up with the sounds and attitudes of the time, this group could offer a rare opportunity to reunite with like-minded peers.

Sophie Baxter has set up a social group for "emos, goths and moshers" who never left the noughties.
