‘I’m Not Okay (An Emo Retrospective)’, at @BarbicanMusic is entering its final week, so you've got until 15 January to view this hugely popular #exhibition about how the early #Emo scene resonated so deeply with a generation of teenagers. Promising an “unfiltered look at when youth culture was cute, raw, vulnerable, and unapologetically different”, the exhibition is a collaboration between @the_moyc (MOYC) and the City of London Corporation-owned library. Featuring personal photos taken on early digital and mid-00s phone cameras, the content has been retrieved from old hard drives and Photobucket accounts and focuses on the first-generation Emo scene (2004-2009). The result is a visually engaging exhibition that has delved into how Emo subculture became a positive force for acceptance, addressing issues of sexuality, mental health, gender, identity, and belonging. #DestinationCity
