Ctrl+Alt+Emo (Back to 2000s)

Bangalore Goes Back to the 2000s! Six bands. One stage. One night dedicated to the music, chaos, heartbreak, and teenage angst that defined a generation.

Ctrl+Alt+Emo (Back to 2000s) is a throwback to the era when your music taste was your personality, your MSN status was your therapy, and discovering a new band could change your entire life.

Hosted by B$DK, this is a celebration of the sounds that raised us, from nu-metal and alternative rock to emo, post-hardcore, pop-punk and Midwest emo.

Think burned CDs.

Think MySpace profiles.

Think side-swept bangs.

Think band tees, black eyeliner and songs that somehow still know exactly what you were going through.

And yes, we're bringing all of it back.

What to Expect

Expect a night that jumps across the many faces of the 2000s alternative scene.

Expect the songs you screamed into your headphones.

The riffs you learned on guitar.

The lyrics you pretended weren't about you.

And the bands you swore you'd never grow out of.

Spoiler: you didn't.

Six bands. One chaotic trip back to the era that gave us some of the most influential alternative music of the 2000s.

No algorithm picked these songs for you.

No TikTok brought them back.

You found them yourself.

Back to the 2000s.

The decade was messy.

The music wasn't.

Come relive the era of oversized hoodies, skinny jeans, guitar riffs, breakdowns, power chords, dramatic lyrics and music that felt like the most important thing in the world.

Because for a lot of us...

it was.

See you in the pit. 🖤
