This is my major complaint about the other Emo Nite group, Emo Nite LA. Last time I went they were playing No Doubt. I came for Hawthorne Heights and Say Anything, please shut that shit off

Yeah, they belong in music jail. I don't think I'll be doing any of these unless I know Lindsey is DJing.

If it's Emo Night Brooklyn it will be a good time. It's literally two guys who just play Emo songs all night long. They have some corny jokes that they'll say in between songs and I think take requests over Instagram. So a good time to have some drinks and sing along.

As a 2000s Midwest mall goth you are 100% spot on.

Do you think it will be a fairly diverse age group? My wife and I are in our early 30s, and she loved Emo music is high-school and still listens to it.

We just don't wanna be the weird old people in the club lol.

Oh, go be the weird olds. No one really cares unless you start creeping. I went to a show at the Camel once where I was a good 20-25 years older than anyone but the bar staff and no one even looked at me.

I feel like almost everyone will be between 25-35. That’s the music we grew up on

I was thinking the same thing.

Is emo even still popular? Maybe it’s just me being old, but it feels like it reached its zenith in the early to mid 2000s.

Don’t know about popular, by there’s a channel on SiriusXM called The Emo Project (ch 713) and I listen to it regularly.

Emo is very popular, but the genre has sonically shifted from what you might know “emo” as from the Hawthorne Heights days

Emo is very popular. Most of the current emo bands are very bad though. Just saw Pool Kids (with two bad emo bands) at Canal Club and remembered why I hate that venue.

Was wondering the same thing, mid 30s couple, also not a lot of details with a 20 dollar cover.

Emo themed nights at venues are hugely popular in bigger cities and always with a very diverse age group. I live in Austin now and these events regularly sell out. I’d say we’re definitely living through an Emo renaissance

I’ve been to a few, I think it’s always been emo night brooklyn but with different DJs. It’s always a good time, sometimes they’re better than others though. Good crowd, pretty diverse age range, everyone’s just there to have a good time. Highly recommend especially if you can rope some friends into it!

It was really fun last year. Sang my heart out with other 30-something’s. Definitely recommend.

I went to one of these pre-covid and the group of 30-ish year olds I was with were probably the only people of legal drinking age. There were a LOT of teens and some of their parents looking bored in the corner. We still had a great time though.

It was definitely more of like a Hot Topic/ commercially successful pop punk vibe.

Any knowers on if this is a recurring event? Can't go to this one since still recovering from some oral surgery but super interested in a fun emo night in a My Chem shirt

Am I correct that this going to be like Taking Back Sunday/Brand New/My Chemical Romance era emo exclusively and not like Mineral/Christie Front Drive/Texas Is The Reason/American Football era?
