Emo Nite's TJ Petracca and Morgan Freed time travel to Emo's heydey with PAPER.
It’s 2008, and well past my bedtime in Truck Stop, California. I’ve just finished loading up music equipment with the roadie from the group my friend’s band was on tour with. Their lead singer had just finished berating me for how I rolled the wires, the pink raccoon tails in his overly long hair swaying to and fro.
I feel like a lot of great partnerships of our generation started in office jobs between people who were like, maybe this isn't what I want to do with the rest of my life!My office was a bunch of metal guys, which I like, I like that. But… I mean, there's only so many times you can hear “Ride the Lightning.” I would want to listen to different shit and TJ would listen in on it. I just kept going into his office and bothering him. And that's really it.
You guys talk about the community that you have fostered around Emo Nite. How it’s open, and accepting. What about the scene do you think brings that energy to these parties? Is it the music, that long standing community that used to love it and champion it back in the day?I think it’s because of the fact that it wasn’t cool. For so long, even at its peak, emo was never a cool thing. When I was in high school, and I found somebody else liked this music, I connected with them almost immediately.
TJ, I know you watch the show, but Morgan, it’s so funny that you weren’t super familiar with Vanderpump Rules since they were basically going through the most visible, groundbreaking moment in their careers last summer. It fit the moment perfectly, with the rage people felt last year.So, they did it twice last year. They did it in April, and then they did it again for the show in August, which was the one they televised.
