Emo Nite Tickets

I always always look forward to emo nite. It’s the most judgement free zone I’ve experienced in a long time and I always leave making a new friend. Can’t wait for the next one!

Emo Nite is definitely something fun to do when it comes to town! My friend and I had a good time, though we and a lot of other people ended up leaving before the event was over since it went on so long. The song choices could’ve been a little better since there were only a few that got the whole audience singing. But all in all we’re glad we went!

I was actually pretty disappointed in the “emo night”. We kept holding out hope that the music would change “just after this song” and it never happened. As the title suggests it was punk alternative music at best. The music itself wasn’t bad but definitely not fitting the mark of emo music. Mr. Bright side?? My friends and I love the venue but was quite disappointed that the only water you can buy is liquid death (which I suppose is fitting by name but not practical) and to close down a bathroom seemed quite impractical especially women who need to use a stall. Just overall very disappointing and will be judging harshly the next event at the Ritz.

The crowd definitely made this event, literally it was a dude with a laptop that hit play on a playlist. No lights, no frills but the crowd made it fun. For the price I would have liked to see something with a higher production value but I’d still go again for the vibes.

Epic epic EPIC! Hands down top 5 of all the events I’ve been to and I’m OLD! This needs to be a monthly experience…. PLEASE!

This crew knows how to party!! This is way better than the other Emo Night Brooklyn.

It’s so fun, everyone basically karaokes to pop punk and emo music all night

Going into my first Emo Night, I had a mix of excitement and curiosity, eager to immerse myself in what I believed to be a celebrated staple of the emo music scene. Unfortunately, my experience left me not only disappointed but also questioning the appeal of these events if they're anything like what I witnessed. The evening was marred from the start by the so-called "DJ,"whose approach to the craft was bafflingly basic. Rather than mixing tracks in a manner befitting a professional, he simply played songs one after the other, with jarring silences in between. This wasn't DJing; it was akin to someone lazily shuffling through a Spotify playlist. No skill, no effort, no cohesion—just a disjointed sequence of emo anthems. To add insult to injury, this individual took it upon himself to sing over the tracks, microphone in hand. This endeavor not only failed to add any value to the songs but actively detracted from them, as the original, iconic vocals were drowned out by his mediocre at best renditions. It was an unwelcome distraction that felt more like an ego trip than an artistic choice. The absurdity escalated with multiple on-stage "wardrobe changes,"including a particularly cringeworthy moment when he emerged in a Blink-182 nurse outfit. These antics might have aimed for nostalgia but landed squarely in the realm of the corny and cringe-inducing. It felt less like a tribute and more like a parody. His relentless energy, while perhaps intended to energize the crowd, instead underscored the event's lack of authenticity. It was as if witnessing a theater nerd's fantasy of rock stardom rather than a genuine celebration of emo culture. The disconnect between his enthusiasm and the audience's expectations was palpable. Reflecting on the $20 spent on my ticket, I can't help but feel it was a waste—not just of money, but of an evening I had hoped would offer a meaningful connection to a genre I love. My friends and I stayed for an hour, holding out hope that the night might somehow redeem itself, but ultimately, we left early, disillusioned. Having never been to an Emo Night before, I went in with an open mind, but the experience I had leads me to seriously question their popularity. If this event was representative of Emo Nights as a whole, then I am left utterly perplexed by their appeal. What was anticipated to be a celebration of emo music felt more like a poorly executed caricature, leaving a lot to be desired.

Some people in the crowd seemed kind of embarrassed to be there and it was hurting the vibe like what's with the collective embarrassment my generation seems to have about our only counterculture? I remember being embarrassed too when I was a teen so it was good to dance some of that away. Maybe it was like that for goths and punks too and they didn't start being cool until it had aged a bit. I didn't think all the songs they played even were emo. Like Linkin' Park? Sure, whatever. Linkin' Park is certainly alternative. Close enough. I would have appreciated some heavier music mixed in, maybe some more screamo and techno. Like make it feel like a rave in 2007, not like a rave in 2024 playing old songs, you know? But I get it, you gotta play the hits. It was pretty fun I'll probably come again.

This was my 1st emo nite and it was a blast. Shane Told and the other two DJs rocked it. Me and my friends sang and danced the night away to some of my favorite emo songs. I hope they all come back soon. This was such a fun event and highly recommend going to it. Thank you Shane and guys for one show I will never forget. HB
