July 2025 Emo News: 3OH!3 is Single Handedly Bringing Back Affliction Tees

This week on The Emo Hour, Katie and Nani dive headfirst into what’s making them emo — and it’s a heavy one. Katie opens up about the emotional impact of Bryan Kohberger’s sentencing in Boise last week for the tragic killings that occurred at her alma mater, the University of Idaho in Moscow. The true crime moment hits close to home, and the rawness of it sets the tone for a powerful start.

To lighten the mood, Nani throws it back to Warped Tour fashion with a hilarious detour into the Affliction tee shirts and trucker hats worn by 3OH!3 during their set — a chaotic visual that somehow perfectly paves the way for this week’s main event: July 2025 emo news!

From crowd-surfing stories in Long Beach to explosive new music drops and music videos, the duo covers it all. They discuss My Chemical Romance's tour and their recent bizarre teaser release, dish on Bud from Senses Fail visiting the Idaho Potato Museum (yes, really), gush over the return of nothing.nowhere's video series Will it emo? and so much more.

The episode closes on a lyrical note, with this week’s emo lyrics of the day featuring a fun new collab from The Paradox and Travis Barker, paired with a classic heart-stinger from The All-American Rejects.

It’s laughter, tears, and eyeliner smudges all around — don’t miss this one.
