Setlists, without saying a word
Phanmoji.
A setlist shorthand and vibe language for phans, written in emoji.
How to Phanmoji:
Write the show in emoji.
Each song has a unique emoji fingerprint. Instead of writing the song name, you write the emoji.
Modifier emojis get tacked on the end to describe the characteristics, vibe, and quality of the version played that night. You've got debuts, rockers, snoozers, dark and evil jams, corndogs, and whatever else the show throws at you.
What's a corndog? It's the corny stuff. Not always bad, but you know a corndog when you see it. I'm looking at you, Everything's Right. Corndog snoozers, snoozer surprises, debut rockers: the possibilities are endless.
Quality modifiers are optional. When the boys go above and beyond the call of duty, throw a dollar or two into their hat: anywhere from a single thumbs up to triple fire.
My corndog may be your rocker, and that's OK. But you can look at a Phanmoji setlist and know within seconds whether the show was completely epic or somewhat forgettable. This is the TLDR of show reviews. These are the hieroglyphics the aliens will find and understand long after we're gone.
