Nani’s Birthday & September 2025 Emo News!
Description
In this jam-packed episode, Katie and Nani kick things off on a personal note as Nani opens up about her upcoming birthday — and all the complicated, nostalgic, "wait, how old am I again?" emotions that come with it. From there, Nani recounts her recent trip to Boston to see Turnstile live (spoiler: it was everything), setting the stage for this month's main topic: September 2025 emo news.
There's so much happening in the scene that the duo has to pick and choose, but the highlights are undeniable: Turnstile is having a major moment, pop-punk guests are popping up on the Jonas Brothers tour (?!), and Blink-182 is going full chaotic energy with their Missionary Impossible tour featuring Alkaline Trio. The All-American Rejects also make headlines — not just for their Arby’s collab, but for launching their own direct-to-fan music platform called Playhouse.
Katie and Nani also squeeze in shoutouts to some major music releases and tours from The Starting Line, AFI, and My Chemical Romance — yes, it’s a good time to be emo.
They wrap things up with the emo lyric of the day, and while Katie makes a strong case, Nani declares herself the winner… because it’s her birthday. Ok, sure. 🖤🎂
