When you grow up listening to albums like The Black Parade, Commit This To Memory, Infinity On High and Louder Now, you know the word emo. That feeling when the heart monitor kicks in at the beginning of The Black Parade kicks in, that feeling when Brendon Urie hits a note that you didn’t think was humanly possible, that feeling like everything’s going to be okay.

If these feeling are slowly coming back to you, then Emo Nite LA is for you. Read on for five reasons to attend Emo Nite at a venue near you.

1. The music is actually songs you want to hear.

Have you ever gone to a bar and immediately realized that all they’re going to do is play that horrible Top 40 radio song every time you want to dance? We’re talking opposite of that. Carefully curated by the event guests and the hosts, you’ll hear every song you want to hear, didn’t think you’d ever hear in public again or remember singing in your bedroom, with or without your parents knowing that they’re definitely an f bomb in the chorus.

2. People actually dance.

Throw it back to your Senior Prom and that awkward feeling where people just…stand there. A great song plays and people just… stand there. Instead of standing around, Emo Nite boasts one of the sweatiest dance parties of all time. Whether you’re standing on stage, at the bar in the back or somewhere among the crowd, you’re sure to be exhausted by the time you leave.

3. It’s a judgment free zone.

A judgment free zone in 2018 - is it real? We’re actually telling the truth. Whether you’re wearing a My Chem, All Time Low or Blink-182 shirt, you’re definitely going to find friends who want to sing, dance and remember ‘the days’ with you. Even if you’re tone deaf, a horrible dancer or just plain crazy, there’s definitely no judgment at Emo Nite, wherever everyone is welcome.

4. It’s there when you need it most.

Instead of a one time, pre-game at someone’s apartment, Emo Nite doesn’t mess around with its schedule. Touring the country constantly, Emo Nite has dates around the country at some of your favorite music venues. Find the tour admat on their social channels, their site or even at a local venue near you.

5. They have real guest hosts.

Trust us, this won’t be like the time that you bought a $50 ticket to see a “guest” speaker and it was just your friend’s mom. Whether it’s Mark Hoppus (the father of rock music), Derek DiScanio from State Champs, or even (excuse us while we tear up), Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low, Emo Nite has some of the biggest guest appearances known to man.

So next time you’re looking for a way to get out all of that pent up energy from this week’s work disaster, check out Emo Nite LA. You won’t regret wearing your best band t-shirt, singing your favorite songs and hanging out with your friends. Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, Emo Nite, we can’t wait to see what’s next for you.
