You had the eyeliner. You knew every word. You survived the heartbreak. Now it's time to relive it all at full volume.
Emo Night Brooklyn is taking over Cobra Lounge, hosted by DJ MESSES, for a night dedicated to the anthems, attitude, and unapologetic emotions that defined a generation.
Get ready for a nostalgic trip through the golden era of emo, pop-punk, alternative rock, and post-hardcore. From the songs that lived on your burned CDs to the anthems you still scream in your car, expect massive singalongs, throwback favorites, deep cuts, and plenty of reasons to lose your voice.
And this isn't just another DJ spinning emo music. DJ MESSES brings firsthand experience from decades in the emo and alternative music scene, having performed and toured with multiple bands whose music is part of the night's soundtrack. Currently the drummer for Downstait, Night Spice, and Flowers for Dorian, and formerly of For the Fallen Dreams, MESSES has lived this music from the stage.
That experience brings a different kind of authenticity and live-show energy to the DJ booth. He isn't just playing the soundtrack. He's been part of the scene that created it.
Whether you grew up in the scene, still wear your band shirts, or just know that some feelings are better screamed into a microphone, this is your night.
Break out the black eyeliner. Dust off the band tees. Bring your inner emo kid.
We're not over it. We're just turning it up.
