ConnectHow it works
No algorithms deciding your fate. Just real people at real shows with real taste.
Step 1
Join a scene
Pick an upcoming Emo Kids show you're attending or join an unlocked city. The app opens city by city around the Emo Kids tour so the community is real from day one -- no ghost town, just real people at real shows.
Step 2
Connect with your people
Interact on the show forum, discover people that match your preferences, and express interest. If they feel the same, you connect and start talking. This app is a tool, not a destination -- the goal is to meet up IRL at the show. How you connect is your choice!
Step 3
Keep the scene alive
Share memories in the show forum after the show. Discover upcoming shows in your area or post your own -- local bands, house parties. Then do it all over again. The Emo Kids tour is just the spark. You are the scene.
Active Scenes
Emo Kids Connect launches city by city around our tour dates. Join an upcoming show or pick an unlocked city below to start meeting people. Once a city is unlocked, it stays open forever -- the show is just the starting line.
Why city by city? Social apps die when they launch everywhere at once with nobody on them. We seed each city with real people at real shows, then the community takes over.
Unlocked Scenes
Show Memories
Photos shared by verified attendees. The real magic happens IRL.
Don't see your city?
Request your scene and we'll notify you when we launch there. The more requests, the faster we expand!
Request your city
Not another swipe factory
Built by the scene, for the scene. Emo, pop-punk, post-hardcore, alt -- the genres blend and so do we. Find a date, make friends, or just see who else is into the same music.
Music is your identity
Your favorite deep cut, not your height, is the first thing people see. Profiles play 30-second Spotify previews so you can hear someone's taste before you say a word.
Show-centered connections
"You were both at the Brick By Brick show" -- every connection has context. Meet people through shared experiences, not random swiping. The app gets you connected before the show so you can actually meet up IRL.
Mutual interest only
No unsolicited DMs. Both people express interest before a conversation opens. You choose: looking for dates, friends, or open to either.
Community-posted events
Our tour dates get you in the door. Local shows, house shows, and DIY gigs posted by users keep the scene alive between tours. This is bigger than one band.
