EMO FEST: An Evening of Drag + Pop Punk

1 upcoming performance in New York

At 3 Dollar Bill in Brooklyn, EMO FEST: An Evening of Drag + Pop Punk frames early-2000s pop-punk and emo as material for drag performance rather than nostalgia alone. Hosted by Discord Addams, the night moves between lip sync, live vocals, and character work, using the genre’s melodrama as a toolkit for queer storytelling. There is no widely documented NYC premiere history attached to the concept, but its logic fits the city’s long-running habit of cross-pollinating club music and drag. The result reads as both tribute and critique of the scene’s old scripts.
