Emo Nite with Catalyst, Your Arms Are My Cocoon, and more

Emo Nite, founded in Los Angeles in 2014 by Morgan Freed, T.J. Petracca, and Babs Szabo, is a global phenomenon. It celebrates emo, pop-punk, and alternative music from the 90s and 2000s, creating communal DJ-driven events. Known for fostering a strong community and featuring surprise guests, it offers a nostalgic, expressive atmosphere and has collaborated with various brands.

Your Arms Are My Cocoon, a Chicago-based experimental screamo project, originated with Tyler Odom in Katy, Texas. Known for blending lo-fi bedroom pop with intense screamo and emo, a style dubbed "bedroom skramz," they are a notable force in 5th wave emo. Their acclaimed debut album "death of a rabbit" (2024) and a 2025 fourwaysplit showcase their raw, emotional sound. Popular songs include "Metamorphosis" and "Snowy!".
