"The Summer Ends" is a (fAkE) Emo Festival dedicated to every (fAkE) Emo's favourite season and the sister event to our beautifully received (rEaL) Emo Festival, "Rites of Spring". An outlet dedicated to all of the lovely, off-kilter interpretations of emo music! It's another one-day celebration, inspired by Emo music's most iconic meme and all of its brilliant spin-offs. Say it loud and proud as we defy all rEaL eMo expectations and take things with a pinch of salt: „FAKE REAL EMO (non-hardcore music that gets considered „real emo" by pretentious middle class dorks who have no clue. Usually indie rock, math rock, or post rock that is influenced by the instrumentation, composition, and/or dynamics of emo; from The Van Pelt and Boys Life to Penfold and Boilermaker to Mock Orange and No Knife to empire! empire! and My Heart to Joy to Hightide Hotel and Oso Oso. Post-emotional hardcore punk rock music)" „,REAL FAKE EMO (non-hardcore music that has just as much influence from emo as FAKE REAL emo, but because it's not sad, mellow, and somber [cough or not rock music] is refuted as „emo" by most twinkle dorks. Usually post-hardcore, alternative rock, or melodic hardcore/pop punk that takes from all the same places as indiemo; from Samiam and Trusty to Sense Field and Grade to Seaweed and Kill Holiday to The Movielife and Boys Night Out to Title Fight and Polar Bear Club to Self Defense Family and Narrow Head. Post-emotional hardcore punk rock and „emo-adjacent" [meaning, diy bands who played shows with emo bands in the underground] music)."
