In Pride of 2022, Freaky Emo and Digital KitKat envisioned a safe haven in queer nightlife for their fellow trans, femme, and BIPOC community in San Francisco. Just like that, ‘Popperz’ found a home in the beloved gay bar El Rio. Named with a nod to the irony of cis gay men's culture, Freaky Emo and Digital KitKat gave new meaning to the term. It’s not just about sniffing poppers; it’s about the vibrant beats of Pop/Dance music and defying mainstream expectations of nightlife through the exhibition of queer, trans, and femme talent.
As passionate curators, Digital KitKat and Freaky Emo initiated the event by inviting close friends to join in crafting this unique space. What started as a vision has evolved into a dynamic event that goes beyond celebration. ‘Popperz’ has become a collaborative platform through its work with other queer organizers and crowdfunding for community members in need.
Through creating a platform to showcase the talent of queer & trans femmes of color, Freaky Emo and Digital KitKat have garnered success and respect within the nightlife scene. Their dedication and passion extends beyond the bouncy beats of Popperz on the El Rio dance floor, leaving an everlasting impression on the community they serve.
