Hey there! I’m Meagan Brown. Originally from Seattle, Washington, my parents raised me with a love of all things music. From being an olympic-trained volleyball player from ages 9-18, to moving to Washington, D.C. to work for various political insiders, to now being a wife, mother, and federal human resources professional in Purcellville, Virginia who runs DC’s premier meetup group for pop-punk, emo and metal music, these genres in particular has always been there for me and has helped shape who I am.
I believe this type of music has something to offer everyone as a lot of its themes involve embracing your individuality, overcoming challenges in life and finding belonging. I have also found the fanbases of this music to be extremely loving and welcoming, and I hope this blog makes you feel that way too!
Through this blog, we will explore how bands and music from the genres have played a role in our everyday lives and have made a lasting impact on pop culture, and we will foster community in doing so.
Thank you for reading!
With Love,
XOXO,
Meagan
