Emo Night is for Everyone (except bigots)
Pittsburgh Emo Night is unapologetically “woke.” We will not tolerate any aggressive behavior, unwanted behavior towards others, or bigotry. If that’s a problem for you, this isn’t your scene. Punk music, and every genre it’s spawned (including emo), has always been about giving voice to the marginalized and standing against oppression. Bigots aren’t just unwelcome here—they’re fundamentally at odds with everything this music stands for.
