TONIGHT — POP BOY ETC. presents: EMO EDITION

The sky’s crying, we’re crying — it’s perfect.
Rainy night vibes meet the ultimate emo soundtrack: from noodly riffs and anthemic hooks to the all-out scream-your-heart-out classics.
Sad? So are we. Let’s feel it together — under one roof, loud and cathartic.
No cover. Dank drinks.
Doors at 9PM at The Cicada
Don’t let the rain stop you — it’s not a phase, it’s a party.

Pop Boy Etc. Presents: For The Love of the Game – Emo Edition
Wednesday, 4/30 at The Cicada
Doors at 9PM | No Cover

NEXT WEEK we go full send on the FEELS.
Whether you were in the pit, behind the merch table, or just crying in your bedroom with your iPod Mini — this night is for you.

We’re digging deep into the emo vaults:
From Warped Tour singalongs to screamo chaos, twinkly Midwest jams to sad bangers that hit too hard.
It’s gonna be one part mosh, one part nostalgia, and all heart.

NO COVER. DANK DRINKS. FULL EMO RELEASE.
Dress the part, bring your crew, and let’s cry on the dance floor together.

Pop Boy Etc. Presents: For The Love of the Game – Emo Edition
Wednesday, 4/30 at The Cicada
Doors at 9PM | No Cover

We’re going full black eyeliner and heart-on-sleeve for this month’s party. It’s The Emo Edition—a night for the elder emos, scene survivors, and anyone who’s ever screamed a sad chorus in their car.

Expect the full range:
• Noodly guitar bops that make you bounce
• Hype breakdowns that’ll get your blood moving
• And of course… the sad songs you still know every word to

No cover, dank drinks, and the kind of catharsis only a room full of emos can offer.

Wear black. Bring your friends. Come scream with us.

This month at For The Love of the Game, we’re serving up a Sampler Platter—a deep dive into the legendary samples that built your favorite hip-hop, R&B, and dance tracks from the ‘90s to today.

Think of it like a DJ’s version of a Chili’s appetizer plate—a little bit of everything, perfectly mixed. We’re stacking up the classics before they were classics, spinning the original cuts next to the hits they inspired.

📅 Wednesday, 3/26 | 9PM
🎶 From the Breaks to the Bangers

No cover, NA & dank drinks on deck, and a whole night of “Wait… I KNOW this sample!” moments. Come hungry for the grooves.
