Dallas Westies we are at it again with another social !

https://facebook.com/events/s/not-a-phase-west-coast-swing-s/1594888204936742/ 🖤 NOT A PHASE SOCIAL 🖤
An Emo / Pop Punk / Alt Rock West Coast Swing Night

Because no mom… it wasn’t just a phase.

You spent years being told you’d “grow out of it.”
The music. The eyeliner. The emotional damage playlists. The black skinny jeans. The dramatic lyrics typed into AIM away messages.

Turns out… we absolutely did not.

This event we have better AC, more parking , a significantly better dance floor and Killer Texas DJs and Live music to dance to .
For one night, we’re turning the dance floor into the ultimate elder emo fever dream. Join us for a late-night West Coast Swing social dedicated to the emo, pop punk, post-hardcore, and alt rock soundtrack that raised us. Expect black lights, heavy eyeliner, straight bangs, fishnets, studded belts, and a dance floor full of people scream-singing every lyric between swings.

We’re blending smooth WCS with the music that lived on your iPod: Paramore, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Mayday Parade, Dance Gavin Dance, Panic! At The Disco, Anberlin, Bayside, Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Coheed and Cambria, Mariana’s Trench, Underoath, The Almost, and more.

Imagine smooth WCS patterns under black lights while the entire room sings along to songs they definitely still know by heart.
Yes, you can body roll dramatically to emo music.
Yes, we fully support dancing like you just got emotionally wrecked in 2008.

✨ Expect:

Black lights + neon glow atmosphere

Emo/pop punk/alt rock inspired music all night

Nostalgic sing-alongs mixed with surprisingly perfect WCS tracks

Dark, moody, chaotic-good energy

People who still know every word to “Sugar, We’re Goin Down”

At least one existential crisis during Evanescence

🖤 Dress Theme Encouraged:
Heavy eyeliner. Straight bangs. Fishnets. Band tees. Chains. Converse. Fingerless gloves. Skinny jeans.

100% free

Love Is love and a wedding is beautiful no matter where it is. Even in the Texas Ren Faire Forest! Happy for this beautiful couple.
