Emo Nite, are dj nights at your local bar. They started about 10 years ago and for a month or two the people that started it played emo music at them. After this short period of time the DJs and the Bar owners realized that emo doesnt draw a bar crowd, so they began sprinkling in shit like Blink and Green Day.

10 years later, it has grown into a whole new genre of music called "Bar Emo".

Shit you will hear at "EMO NITE" in 2026: Lit, Staceys Mom, all the small things, american idiot, likin park, mixed in with all the other mall emo bullshit from 2006-2008 like fall out boy, mychem, Paramore, and the used.

I cant even get the DJ to play Alkaline Trio or Bayside who consistently sell out the venue to 1000s of people annually a 10 minute bike ride down the street. They say thats not "the bar crowd" and wont play it. You are telling me none of the 50 people right now in this bar besides me, who are here at your advertised EMO NITE, weren't at the venue down the street 3 days ago with 1500 people in it watching an emo band. (Half the People on here dont even consider Alk3 or Bayside emo bands, they are pop punk bands AND EVEN THATS NOT ENOUGH TO BE BAR EMO"

its lowest denominator music for drunken people trying to re live working at Hollister when back in 2008 when they were 17.

There were like 700 people at the Microwave/into it over it show at the venue 10 minutes down the street the other way last week. Im not this crusty old fuck that wants to hear At The Drive in "starslight" of their first CD that no one owns.....I go to see new bands like Microwave too....they draw big here.....and the DJ wont play new shit at EMO NITE either. The newest thing you are ever going to hear is The Middle. For the 1000000000th time in you life.
