Emo is back—nostalgia, nostalgia, nostalgia. The raw emotion, theatrical flair, and cathartic lyrics of early-2000s emo bands are striking a chord with Millennials and Gen Z alike. Tracks from My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Panic! at the Disco and more are dominating alternative playlists, TikTok viral soundtracks, and club nights across London.
This cultural wave has made its way into food and drinks culture—cue themed brunches that blend breakfast fare with emo vibes.
