joyce manor 10th anniversary show

december 8, 2024 @ brooklyn steel — celebrating 10 years of “never hungover again”

went to this alone & it reminded me how fun going to a show can be— i really can’t deal with shows where everyone is just standing there, not even looking like they’re having fun, talking over the set, etc. this night, everyone was screaming every lyric, jumping up and down, pushing each other around, spilling their beers. you just knew that this album was integral to every one of these people’s coming-of-age stories.

the crowd reminded me of being in college and how fun it was back then and i think i needed to experience that because i’ve been to many many shows in recent years where the audience is completely shitty (sorry! but also not sorry. be better)

it’s been years since the last time i saw joyce manor, and boy if i didn’t tear up when i heard the intro to “falling in love again.” this song has meant so much to me throughout my life.

it’s what plays in my head when i feel myself getting into a situation i know i’ll end up getting hurt from.

thank you, joyce manor.
