bbno$ hit the stage at Emo’s on February 25 and from the jump, it felt less like a concert and more like one giant inside joke that everyone was in on. This wasn’t a night for standing still — it was a night for pogoing (literally), crowd-wide singalongs, and ridiculous, contagious energy that only he can pull off.

He bounced through hits like edamame and mememe with the swagger of someone who knows exactly how to make fun of himself while still having the crowd eating out of his hand. i see london i see france had everyone jumping, and bag or die hit like an anthem for anyone who’s ever left the house feeling like the main character.

But the real magic? The way he peppered the night with covers and surprises: from Party in the U.S.A. to getting the crowd Rickrolled in the most hilarious way. Audience members even got their moment in the spotlight, stepping up to fill Yung Gravy’s parts on shining on my ex and Welcome to Chili’s — and absolutely crushing it.

It felt messy in the best way: part stand-up, part house party, part arena-level flex. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, and that’s exactly why the room felt like pure serotonin. bbno$ didn’t just play songs — he threw a full-blown circus. And we all wanted to run away with it.
