DMen Tap, 2849 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago 773-961-8757 🗺️
The next in the "I guess we are doing this at least once a month now huh?" edition of karaoke is here!
It's time for a real emo karaoke night as the theme!
It doesn't matter what you sing but if you ask for suggestions it's probably going to be like Sunny Day Real Estate or something.
"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
Karaoke back on a Thursday.
Come early, sing a lot, drink a lot (responsibly), and DON'T BREAK SHIT!!!
JUST COME SING AND HAVE FUN: TIP YOUR BARTENDER AND TIP YOUR JOE!
