The subculture of West New York, NJ 07093 & who are these kids!?

During COVID, I searched for remnants of the alternative/emo culture that once thrived in West New York (WNY). Growing up, my sister and her friends introduced me to the music, parties, and the scene, just as it was coming to an end. I was so excited to enter Memorial and be part of the basement scene, only to discover it was already fading. Like every era, it must come to an end. Societal factors—new music, the rise of social media, and teenagers growing up—likely contributed to its decline. I really wish I had experienced more of it while it lasted. I would like to note though that I feel a revival coming thanks to all the local shows happening at the VFW.

But, back to my point, I started searching for anything that could help preserve and honor the WNY music scene from the early 2000s through the early 2010s. Unfortunately, due to the failed MySpace move, many files and images from that time were lost. Every day, I hope there’s a way to recover those memories. Ugh.

Through the grapevine, and thanks to my partner, I heard about a venue called The Basement @ 591 55th St. The picture above is from an interview I found, showcasing local bands like Astrophel & Stella, who played there. Shout out to the author, Arthur Pascale. Isn't it crazy that someone did an interview on a local venue? In 2008? I love to see it.

It’s a shame I can’t find more pictures online from this local venue, but I wanted to blog about it and remind us how this scene played such an important role in shaping who some of us are, and even this town. New Jersey is known for contributing to the early stages of emo/alternative music scene, with places like Sayreville, Maxwell's (RIP), New Brunswick, and Montclair hosting shows, recordings, and house events—and West New York was right there with them.

This post is special to me. This community has a lot of passion, talent, and ambition and I will forever shout this out. There are so many bands and artists that I want to continue to spotlight, El Shelter, Arrows in her, Animarum, Crystal Plains, and the list goes on. Please send me local bands old and new.

If you have any pictures that you would like to share, please send them. I would love to honor them & of course, give you credit.
