Our Mission

In a world consumed by screens, Before the Internet is here to revive the art of real-life connections.

Through interactive community events and nostalgic apparel, we aim to bring back moments that truly matter by encouraging people to live in the moment. We aim to use the best parts of the internet - such as the ability to share a positive message so vastly - in order to bring back all of the best things of life Before the Internet, such as a more powerful sense of community.

Join us in reconnecting with what’s real.

Before the Internet™. Live in the moment.

Before the Internet™. Live in the moment.

At all our events, attendees are given the option to put their phones in a pouch upon arrival, allowing them to truly live in the moment.

Don’t worry! Our team of “retro-photographers” will make sure we capture the moment on film cameras, disposables and camcorders - all of which will be available on our site.

Each article of apparel is designed to be a conversation starter. We go by the mantra “so cool, you’ll have to say hi”.

Because you know anyone rocking Before the Internet is part of our community, we encourage you to go say hi and pay them a compliment. The world needs more kindness - and strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet :)

As part of the Before the Internet Project, we’re partnering with charitable organizations to help fight the loneliness pandemic and build community.

We’ll also promote social wellness through our various events, and aim to educate our community on the importance of face-to-face interaction and fostering relationships.
