I think I am going to collect all of my Vaporwave writings over the past 10 or so years and publish them into one proper (maybe lightly edited) PDF ebook. Everything from Private Suite, AE2, eclectic essays elsewhere.

Here's a fun thing!

I'm doing a show on a new radio station here in Belfast, celebrating my favourite scores ever, from movies, games and shows 💖📻✨

'Cos when I'm not working on soundtracks there's a good chance I'm listening to 'em

I just wanna share the tracks that inspire and uplift me

Williams, J. N., & Sobande, F. (2025). Note to scene: Gender, race and rose-tinted nostalgia in emo. European Journal of Cultural Studies, 0(0). lnkd.in/eMmjq6ue

Image including an abstract for an academic journal article titled 'Note to scene: Gender, race and rose-tinted nostalgia in emo':

Abstract
Twenty years on from its mainstream breakthrough, the popularity of emo music has resurged, offering new opportunities to appraise its cultural legacy. While acknowledging the creative and cathartic qualities of emo as fans, we reflect on how the intersections of race and gender have (not) been thoroughly engaged with in prior research on the genre. We also demonstrate how improvements concerning representation in emo are still constrained, with people of colour (POC) – particularly Black women – carrying heavy self-advocating responsibilities. Through a two-part case study – first, the marketing and booking of When We Were Young festival and second, a reflexive first-person analysis of music journalism surrounding emo’s ‘new wave’ acts – we explore how emo has been (re)branded for old(er) and new(er) generations in the 2020s, how musical belonging and expertise is negotiated within the culture, and how nostalgia narratives can serve to romanticize emo’s exclusionary past at the expense of its more inclusive future.

Keywords:
Black alt, emo, gender, music festivals, music journalism, nostalgia, popular music, punk, race, subculture

Cancelled or not, I will continue to draw OFMD Ed ✨

Digital illustration of Ed Teach/Blackbeard from Our Flag Means Death. He is in the right hand side of the frame, resting on the ship steering wheel looking out wistfully, his hair pulled behind his head in a bun. The illustration is in a loose, sketchy style and the background is a soft mauve with white doodled stars littering the image.
