Games We Play

About

Games We Play is the electrifying pop-punk project of Los Angeles-based artist Emmyn, a songwriter and producer who has redefined the genre for a new generation. With a sound that blends the raw energy of early 2000s emo with modern pop sensibilities, Games We Play delivers anthems that are as introspective as they are infectious. Drawing inspiration from bands like blink-182 and Fall Out Boy, Emmyn crafts lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, wrapped in soaring melodies and punchy guitar riffs. Since its inception, Games We Play has rapidly gained traction, thanks to viral hits like "I Hope You’re Happy" and "Fake Happy," which resonate deeply with Gen Z audiences. Emmyn’s ability to channel personal struggles into universally relatable music has cemented his place as a voice for the disenchanted yet hopeful. His breakout moment came with the release of his debut EP, *Life’s Going Great*, which showcased his knack for blending vulnerability with unapologetic energy. Beyond his solo work, Emmyn has collaborated with artists like MOD SUN and Travis Barker, further solidifying his credibility in the pop-punk revival scene. His music has become a cultural touchstone, soundtracking TikTok trends and inspiring a new wave of fans to pick up guitars and write their own stories. Currently, Games We Play is working on new material, promising more heart-on-sleeve lyrics and high-octane performances that continue to push the boundaries of the genre.
