Emo Prom Night

High school can be tough… especially when you’re trying to launch an Emo band in Toledo, Ohio in 2005.

 

Meet Dallas, Cos, and Tyson, the female drummer. They are three best friends who make up the Emo band Your

Thoughts, My Memories. They struggle to get through each day - fraught with emotions, sensitivity, flat-ironed hair,

black skinny jeans, and dreams of fame. Their daily routines consist of trying to gain MySpace followers, arguing

about Emo bands, and avoiding the temptations of booze, sex, and drugs. After all “Straight Edge is the Great

Edge. “ The jocks make fun of them, the popular kids won’t give them the time of day and their original music offers

them the only escape from the mundane Midwest mentalities that they are surrounded by. Oh, and they’ve made a

celibacy and sobriety pact until graduation.

 

However, when Dallas and Tyson discover that Cos is secretly dating a popular cheerleader and plans on going to

their senior prom, they begin to wonder if their union is slowly falling apart… Especially with a huge Battle of the

Bands showcase taking place that same night that they can’t afford to miss…

 

This is the prom story that Gen Y has been waiting for. It’s Superbad - but turned upside down.
