81. State Of The Scene Address: Emo Year in Review, EKA Future, 2025 Emo All Stars & Freshman Fifteen Talk | Emo Kids Anonymous

In this special solo Black Friday episode of EKA, Robb reflects on the past year, the pod, and the state of the scene in general. We also dive into the evolution of Black Friday, the importance of community in music culture, and we even make the mistake of taking calls for the first time in show history. We dive into the recent Vans Warped Tour Announcements and the drama surrounding that announcement. Robb also shares insights on the Emo All-Stars and Freshman 15 lists, highlighting emerging talent in the emo scene (both lists available at neveraphasenetwork.com). Lorde, this is weird writing a solo episode from the third person.
