Picture the scene: you're partying with your mates at your favourite rock night, singing your wee heart out to classic Bring Me The Horizon anthem Can You Feel My Heart?, and a circle dance pit breaks out around you. As you see the usual run of twenty-to-thirty-something emo diehards skip, jump and bounce around you, out of the gloom comes Flavor Flav from Public Enemy, who merrily sings in your face for a couple of seconds before disappearing into the giddy mob again.
That's exactly what happened at a recent edition of Emo Nite, the smash hit, touring emo club night that has appeared at cities across the US as well as at festivals like Coachella. In a video since uploaded to social media by Emo Nite themselves, Flavor Flav can be seen enjoying himself to the hallmark Bring Me track, surrounded by fellow clubbers who are either happily surprised to see him or completely oblivious that they're sharing dance floor space with a certified rap icon. Flavor himself acknowledged the video later, posting in the comments that most emo of sentiments: "IT'S NEVER BEEN A PHASE."
