Opposite the memory wall where visitors have covered the space in notes and printed screenshots of old MySpace accounts, three women are eagerly talking about the display in front of them.
“It’s really cool, fun, it’s really cute, it just makes you smile,” they said speaking over each other.
Maddie, Seren and Molly are students who made a special visit to the exhibition for Seren’s birthday.
“It’s really nice to see people’s personal emo phases,” said Molly.
“I am emo at heart,” said Seren. “I grew up around it with my older siblings, so it’s a nostalgic thing.”
The first concert she attended was popular emo band Fall Out Boy, and after seeing MCR last year, she is part of the new generation of emos continuing the legacy.
