"Everyone who comes to Emo Nite knows that they will see some unexpected things at the 2-year. We always have something weird up our sleeves," founder Babs Szabo said.
One additional surprise is the premiere of Captain Cuts newest mix tape, The Life of Emo, the night of the event.
Captain Cuts member Ryan McMahon, a long time supporter of Emo Nite, said "TJ, Morgan, and Babs singlehandedly revived an entire generation of real boys and girls who grew up listening to pop-punk and emo music. We are trying our best to give back to the genre that inspired us to be all-killer and absolutely zero filler. We leave everything out there - as a result, this beautiful night in Echo Park might be slowly killing us. But if this is what it feels like in love & death, we welcome it with open arms."
Not in LA the night of the 2 year rager? That's OK.
For Emo Nite LA fans across the country, the party will also be live streamed over at Twitch for a special presentation of IHEARTCOMIX's Live Stream Music Series 'Party Stream' called STREAMO NITE.
IHEARTCOMIX founder Franki Chan said, "We are fucking pumped to be a part of EMO NITE's 2 year celebration and to bring this crazy event to the whole world via Party Stream. No party or group of people have blown me away more over the past few years than this crew, so damn right are we gonna put together an exciting program in honor of this anniversary! You're gonna be able to experience EMO NITE in a way you've never been able to before."

Founder TJ Petracca said, "It's honestly pretty surreal. This whole thing has gotten way bigger than we ever imagined or intended it to get. I'm so honored and happy to be celebrating two years of this party. We have made some amazing new friends, got to travel and see a ton of new cities, and meet our idols/heroes. Stepping back and looking at it from afar... I truly can't believe it."The year has gone by fast and been very busy for the founders.

They had a country band take over and learn emo songs after taking part in a not-so-traditional western shoot out.
See also a mariachi edition of "Sugar We're Going Down" and an acapella-accompanied montage of the beauty that is Emo Nite.
Founder Morgan Freed said he is "personally inspired by stuff we see everyday so we just apply that to Emo Nite. Like I went to dinner and saw a mariachi band and then was like let's do that."
While the three founders of Emo Nite originally set out to simply create a small get together of like-minded music lovers, the event has formed into more than just an extremely energetic party - Emo Nite is a community.

From branded merchandise, to collaborations with large scale clothing brands such as OBEY Clothing to the upcoming run of events around the country and working closely with local live shows, what used to be a monthly event expanded to something of a phenomenon.
What started as a nostalgic trip back to the era of myspace and skinny jeans soon became much more than that - it started a movement.

It reminded everyone that there was something special and timeless about that moment in rock music called "emo."
Something that was lacking in today's musical landscape - a community, and a safe place to be yourself. No matter who that is.

The bar staff at this place was professional and their drinks ensured us a fun night in the city. I can't wait to go back. Most of the negative elements of going to a more popular place are avoided here; the staff at venues Chicago was really mature and respectful.
