How do u meet other emo kids?? Or interact with the scene in general???

Back to General Discussion

I'm in southern California and I'm relatively close to LA, it shouldn't be this hard but it is! Especially cuz I already struggle with talking to people and making friends. Got any tips for getting more involved with my local scene or just meeting other people my age who like the same stuff?

I saw a couple of scene and emo kids near where I am, but I live in England so I guess I won't be much help :l

i would just go to as many local shows as possible and talk to people. eventually there will be familiar faces when you go to more shows because i've noticed that there is almost always people who make it to like every show and have been in the scene for a long time. get in the pit, its very good for bonding lol

in my case i try to go to public alternative meet ups, events or concerts, and as you interact with people you start making new friends and maybe if there are smaller subgroups they could add you to them, im not from southern california at all but maybe doing similar stuff to these could get you there:p:

Go to local shows and follow all your local emo bands, that's how I make a lot of my friends

@GazzyGaz But how do I find local shows and bands???

@XxZ0mb1esR0txX if you have instagram you can look up your city's local shows, there's usually a flyer account or just flyers in general, that's how I started.

i live in hawaii rn, so its RLLY hard 2 find emos, especially scenesters. BUT i have found a few at my school, im 2 shy 2 talk tho ;(

but i also found a couple friends when i lived in kansas!! 99.9% of my scene/emo friends r online.

interact with the local scene. im also from near la and frequently go to shows, there really are a lot

INSTAGRAM!!!! bands post tour posters/flyers on their ig for upcoming shows. when you go to said show, talk to people inbetween sets!!! say hi to them, ask for their instagram, maybe even tell them it's your first show (if it is, they'll probably be very nice to you if u say this!), etc. soon enough you'll be invited to go to shows with people and have tons of friends!!!!!

go to a lot of local events and talk to people. Instagram is also really good for connections cuz once u find 1 alt person in ur city u find all of them lol. everyone follows eachother!! (atleast in my experience)
