Really beautiful essay! That moment about the cute girls unzipping your jacket and thinking this scene would last forever hits hard. I totally relate to that teenage feeling where you cant imagine the cultural moment your living in will ever end. Its crazy how fast things changed from 2007 to 2010—like, the emo scene just evaporated. That line about tearing down Earls Court is such a perfect metaphor.
Yeah it was a definite moment in time. And I have no doubt that those kind of moments were happing all over for all kinds of different music genres and moments- this is just my little corner of it which felt like the world.
