Rites of Spring (a REAL EMO) Festival with PAGENINETYNINE and many more!

In the organizer's words:

12.04.25 | Kafe Kult, Munich | presented by CoreChaos

with

***PAGENINETYNINE [screamo / usa / persistent vision]
Started in 1997, Pageninetynine is a band from Sterling, Virginia who redefined what "punk rock" could mean and be, touring relentlessly and releasing a plethora of albums, splits, singles and more... all from a venerable squad of miscreants on the outskirts of the nation's capital. With a plethora of releases only rivaled by their staggering eight (sometimes nine) member status, Pg.99 managed to amalgamate almost every heavy-music genre into a tornado of punk rock fury. Not punk in a mohawk-mania sense, but with the unbridled raw spirit of youthful rebellion and passion.

Following a series of reunions in 2011, 2017 and 2019, Pageninetynine has remained active, playing select shows and festivals in 2023, 2024 & 2025.

*********************

A one-day music festival inspired by Emo-music's most famous meme:

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat
HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music.
Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral.
EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
