After the Party is the title track and emotional centerpiece of The Menzingers' fifth studio album, released in 2017 via Epitaph Records. As one of the band’s most defining anthems, the song serves as a poignant exploration of aging within the punk rock subculture. At its core, "After the Party" is an anthem about growing up without growing cynical. It addresses the anxiety of hitting your 30s in a subculture (punk rock) that usually idolizes youth and "burning out."
