S had gotten us tickets to the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/emonightsg\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Emo Night SG<\/a> event, held on the first Wednesday in <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/things-to-do-in-singapore-august\/\">August<\/a> at Hard Rock Cafe. I let out a nervous laugh. Should I go ahead and tag along, or should I ditch it?<\/p>\n<p>For those not in the know, Emo Night SG is a monthly event where alternative music \u2013 nu-metal, pop-punk and, of course, emo songs \u2013 is played. Partygoers scream the lyrics at the top of their lungs, headbang, and mosh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best way to describe our event is a cross between a rock show and a rave! Even so, it doesn\u2019t fully encapsulate what Emo Night SG really is. It\u2019s evolved from being an event to something bigger,\u201d Edwin Waliman explains. He forms one-third of Look Ma No Hands!, the organisers behind this rock show\/rave, which is now in its sixth year in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to prepare myself for the event. That\u2019s the least I should do, right? I asked about the dress code. Black tee, pants or jeans, and shoes that I \u201cdon\u2019t mind getting stepped on\u201d. Okay, that sounded ominous. Next was the list of songs that I should know. If I\u2019m going for this, I might as well go all in.<\/p>\n<h3>Welcome to the black parade<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258264\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258264\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258264 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-hard-rock-cafe-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"emo night sg hard rock cafe\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-hard-rock-cafe-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-hard-rock-cafe-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-hard-rock-cafe.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258264\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Emo Night SG via Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A few sleeps later, Wednesday arrived. Deciding on my outfit was pretty easy \u2013 all black, what else? I didn\u2019t get to \u201cstudy\u201d the songs, though. I\u2019d just blend in with the crowd by headbanging to whatever\u2019s played and keep an ear out for the songs I\u2019m familiar with. Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, Paramore, My Chemical Romance\u2026 obviously, this is a very basic repertoire.<\/p>\n<p>I met S outside the venue; she introduced me to her group of friends joining us that night. \u201cIt\u2019s his first time to Emo Night,\u201d my friend excitedly told the group. \u201cReally?\u201d K, one of my new friends, looked over my outfit. \u201cBro, you don\u2019t look like a newbie! You\u2019re in black, a red checkered shirt, and even your shoes match,\u201d K said, giving me the stamp of approval. My shoes were leopard-printed Vans. I doubt they matched the Emo Night vibe.<\/p>\n<p>We made a beeline for Hard Rock Cafe a little after 11pm. Since pre-event testing\u2019s not required, clearing the entry was a breeze. A quick check of my ID and vaccination status, and in we went.<\/p>\n<h3>Bring me to life!<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258265\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258265\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258265 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-crowd-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"emo night sg crowd\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-crowd-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-crowd-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-crowd.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Emo Night SG via Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For a Wednesday night, the venue was teeming with energy. But Edwin tells me it wasn&#8217;t really a choice to hold it on the first Wednesday of each month. \u201cWhen we started in 2016, a lot of venues weren\u2019t willing to give up their peak night programmes because our concept was new and untested. They probably didn\u2019t think we&#8217;d draw much of a crowd, so we could only pick from the \u201cless popular\u201d nights of the week: Wednesday or Thursday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first Wednesday of the month has a nice ring to it, like a midweek breather from our daily lives. We decided to stick with it so our goers can easily remember and make their plans around our events,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>It was definitely not the party crowd I\u2019m used to \u2013 but then again, Emo Night SG isn\u2019t the kind of party at which I\u2019d make an appearance. The event\u2019s mission played through my head: \u201cUnite in the resounding melodies of our common dread, comfort, hope and what makes us all the same \u2013 being human.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Sugar, I\u2019m going down<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258267\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258267\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258267 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-party-decor-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"emo night sg party decor\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-party-decor-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-party-decor-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-party-decor.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Sufyan Saad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The songs that I knew, I <del>sung<\/del> screamed along at the top of my lungs. Hearing the chorus of voices felt like I was at a concert instead of the middle of the dance floor at Hard Rock. I just moved along to the other songs I didn\u2019t know and people-watched. It was fascinating seeing partygoers moshing, though I feared for my safety. Edwin points out that \u201cmoshing is a part of the culture associated with this kind of music. This is one of the rock gig ethos that we grew up with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My friend reassured me earlier that we wouldn\u2019t be near the mosh pit and I didn\u2019t want to be collateral damage because of others\u2019 enthusiasm. But that inevitably happened. I fell. Panic at the disco! It felt like life slowly flashed before my eyes as I went down. There\u2019s a Malay expression \u2013 \u201cnangka busuk\u201d \u2013 which translates to rotten jackfruit; this is used whenever someone falls. As quickly as I went down, my friends helped me up. I was embarrassed, but everyone else just brushed it off. \u201cIt\u2019s normal, bro,\u201d K reassured me. \u201cIt\u2019s an Emo Night rite of passage.\u201d I fell a couple more times after that.<\/p>\n<p>I observed the organisers prompting people throughout the night to help others who fell. Edwin explains, \u201cWe try our best to provide a safe space so it\u2019s important to remind everyone to look out for one another\u2019s safety, especially when they\u2019re caught in a mosh pit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He shares that many people also tend to lose their valuables during Emo Night, but those who find them often pass those items to the organisers. \u201cBecause of that, we created an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/emonightsg.lostandfound\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Instagram account<\/a> to help reunite these returned items to their rightful owners and encourage others to return such valuables at future events.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>In the business of misery<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258266\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258266\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258266 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-crowd-at-hard-rock-cafe-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"emo night sg crowd at hard rock cafe\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-crowd-at-hard-rock-cafe-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-crowd-at-hard-rock-cafe-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/emo-night-sg-crowd-at-hard-rock-cafe.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258266\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Emo Night SG via Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The constant jumping, screaming, and headbanging left me winded. The fact that I had my mask on throughout and had recovered from Covid recently didn\u2019t help my situation. I excused myself for a breather. It was close to 2am by then.<\/p>\n<p>As I stood in a corner to catch my breath, the music changed. The hard guitars and drums were gone, replaced by a mellower sound. <em>So maybe it&#8217;s true \/ That I can&#8217;t live without you \/ And maybe two is better than one\u2026<\/em> Was that Taylor Swift? At Emo Night? I was bemused. This was the part where they really put the \u201cemo\u201d in Emo Night, I thought to myself. Blink 182\u2019s \u201cI Miss You\u201d followed after. Song after song, everyone sang along at the top of their voices. I rejoined my friends just as the deejay picked up the tempo again.<\/p>\n<h3>Remembering Wednesday<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258281 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/20220803_234039_1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"406\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/406;\"><\/p>\n<p>My initial plan was to leave around 1am. I\u2019d be able to experience Emo Night while not staying out too late on a weeknight. In the end, I stayed till closing time! As we sat outside Hard Rock after the night ended, I took stock of everything that happened.<\/p>\n<p>When I initially shared with my friends that I was attending Emo Night, I was met with a lot of confusion. \u201cWhat\u2019s that? Do they play emo songs, and people cry in the club?\u201d one friend asked. Well, yes and maybe? Another friend was perplexed. \u201cHuh?! You?! The one who listens to pop music going for Emo Night?!\u201d Bestie, I know.<\/p>\n<p>But this made me realise we\u2019re all misfits in one way or another, and none of us truly fit into society. Despite our differences \u2013 mine included \u2013 the music makes everyone feel accepted. There\u2019s a heartwarming sense of community.<\/p>\n<p>Now the question remains: will I go for <a href=\"https:\/\/emonightsg.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">another Emo Night event<\/a>? \u201cIf you resonate with the music, great \u2013 we now have one more member in the family! If you don\u2019t vibe with the music, that\u2019s fine too because music is subjective. We\u2019re all naturally drawn to different types and genres of music,\u201d Edwin says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur hope is for the uninitiated to come with an open mind. Maybe they\u2019ll discover songs they like from artists they\u2019ve not heard of before. And from there, they can deep dive into the full discography or other related artists within the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s my answer? Maybe.
