Day 1

Today was our premiere day as Emospotters. Geared up with camera, journalist pad and an overall perfect mood despite the rain we got on the local train in to the city of Stockholm.
Well there we headed straight to what we knew was a positive emo spot, that is just outside the ticket gates at The Central Station right next to "plattan"- a notorious drug market square where social misfits, schmeckers and emo kids have their own urban sanctuary.
Before we even got there we spotted our first emo kid. Yeah happy dance! Our first emo count ever. And then we could just keep on counting them,
this is what we found.
