In this episode of The Emo Hour, Katie and Nani dive deep into all the major emo happenings of May 2025. They start by paying tribute to the late Dave Shapiro—beloved booking agent and staple of the alternative music scene—who tragically passed in a plane crash in San Diego alongside others in the industry. 💔
From heartbreak to house parties, the duo switches gears to talk about The All-American Rejects and their absolutely wild, nostalgia-drenched house party tour across the Midwest that had fans losing their minds (and voices). 🏠🎸
Then it’s on to the ever-chaotic YUNGBLUD: Katie and Nani unpack his massive world tour, the buzz around his limited edition "blood vinyl" (yes, it’s as weird and emo as it sounds), and why he's keeping the genre unpredictable in the best way.
Also on the radar? MGK's new drop, which takes a sharp left turn into early 2000s boy band aesthetics—complete with synchronized dance moves and all the pop-punk-meets-TRL energy you didn't know you needed.
Plus: fresh tour announcements, scene drama (Enter: Ronnie Radke/Brittany Furlan/Tommy Lee), and the return of a few surprise emo acts that have Katie and Nani screaming internally.
Whether you’re still wearing skinny jeans or just emo in your heart, this episode is packed with passion, eyeliner, and plenty of deep sighs. 🖤
Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of tragic events involving loss of life. Listener discretion is advised.
