Three weeks ago, nearly a thousand punks and metal heads took over the Plaza de Armas in Querétaro, central México, to rid the park of “emos.” Outnumbered, the mob’s victims could do little but huddle together and try to absorb the punches and taunts. Only a few days later, a similar confrontation (http://www.jornada.unam.mx/ultimas/2008/03/15/agreden-a-201cemos201d-en-glorieta-insurgentes) took place a hundred miles away in Mexico City.
Mexicans, long accustomed to disturbing news of violent crime, were shocked by television coverage of the mass violence. Over the last few years, emo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo#Fashion_and_stereotype), a fashion and music style defined by androgynous make-up, angular haircuts, tight clothes and a pop-punk sound, has become popular with teens throughout México largely due to the spread of MySpace and the global appeal of such bands as My Chemical Romance (http://holamun2.com/news/versus-my-chemical-romance-vs-fall-out-boy/) and Dashboard Confessional. The wave has lifted Mexican groups like Pxndx (Panda) (http://holamun2.com/panda), Insite (http://holamun2.com/news/as-seen-on-myspace-insite/) and Avella Ink (http://holamun2.com/news/as-seen-on-myspace-avella-ink/) into the spotlight. But not everyone in this often traditional and sometimes machista society is keen on this gender and genre bending youth movement.
News reports cite homophobia (http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1725839,00.html) as a likely factor in the attacks. Many anti-emo videos, blogs (http://emosexualesenaccion.blogspot.com/) and bulletins contain slogans like “Movimiento Anti Emosexual” and “Emo is gay.”
Some have blamed Telehit VJ Kristoff for provoking anti-emo sentiment with angry rants and emo-bashing sketches. (Telehit is owned by the powerful Mexican broadcaster Televisa (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telehit).) After the attacks, Kristoff responded: “I may not agree with the emo philosophy, but I would die to defend their right to express themselves.”
Last weekend, demonstrations were held in Mexico City (http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/ciudad/vi_89499.html) and Tijuana (http://www.oem.com.mx/elsoldetijuana/notas/n644176.htm) in solidarity with the victims of the violent attacks, but tensions remain high. Few are certain as to what sparked the violence and whether there is yet more to come.


I read this in an article in Blender magazine.and it reminded me of some of the members I have met on here.

sorry the videos are in spanish. thats where it happens, and the news here doesnt really care. just thought I would share for fucks sake.

[azndoc]

Seriously who cares.

Their emo.

[DOOK]

well technically they're emo... but yeah

[illvialuver]

they look sad.

i don't really care, but I thought it was kinda funny. and fucked up, cause one kid who was interviewed by blender, said that 7 guys were beating him up and than held him down and cut his hair, and it was infront of tons of people and two police officers watched the whole thing and laughed. and like 800 people formed a mob and beat up 3 people. just a little over kill.

[lflkajfj12123]

Emo people don't have souls.

And this is older than the dinosaurs.

[illvialuver]

okay, I did search on her and did not finds a porevious post, and I just read about this shit, so I didn't know this was old. I don't watch the mexican news so it is new to me. and I am not emo so I did not hear about it from my emo friends. or the guys from viceroy. jk

[Baka Sama]

Wow, so because I hate emo music, it makes me a sheep that only enjoys what Carson Daly tells me to?

It's b/c of those tight-pants-wearing doosh bags is why I a) quit skateboarding, b) don't go to punk shows anymore, and c) thank my parents for not raising me to be a complete idiot.

And I don't think anyone wants to call you. Go cry in a corner and keep listening to My Chemical Romance.

Anyways, I left you a posi rep so maybe you'll wake up.

[Antihero983]

emo's are a bunch of winey bitches who cry about everything and write shitty songs about their ex GFs.

counter culture? what are you a fucking hippie wannabe?

ugh so much fail.

i would love to see one of those idiots show up to a hardcore show.

[illvialuver]

[jackjack]

this again?

bleh........

who cares............

[02BRB20]

history lesson:

-punk and ska dies in 2000
-pop punk gets big, evolves into massive metal movement
-mainstream culture catches onto counter culture style, starts imitating it
-the line between real and fake begins to blur, people start dressing a certain way without knowing the influences of the style they copy
-B/C of this, it becomes easy for babylon to make fun of it bc the fake people dont have the spine nor respect to rep counter culture properly
-hard headed people spread misinformation, everything turns to crap, and for some odd reason emo becomes the banner for ppl hating on other ppl.

Honestly I dont care about everyone making fun of the jerks who dress that style just because its seems hip, fashionable, and in some cases bc theyre rich and bc they see it on MTV, thats whatever

but you're not going to sit here and bash the REAL people who are poor, fingers bleeding from playing music, and rashed up from shreading cement waves; these people drive style and culture and the way they dress is directly influenced by their own experiences in their lives, XXX hardcore assassins hahaha.

o, and stop using the word emo, it means emotional music; music has had emotion since it was invented so that shit is stupid. The genre most of you have a problem with is pop punk.

[Baka Sama]

Soooo.... the "counter culture" is at war with "babylon". But instead of a physical war, they fight using thier music as weapons to unleash their rage on myspace and taco bell? And when they're not bleeding from dropping melodious bombs on "the man" they take time out to skateboard in dried up pools.

Wow. Ive never heard of anyone in more need of a hug and a job application in all my life.

[flip3d]

So what are these donkey shows I'm hearing so much about?

I think they're emo because they can't drink the water without something negative happening.

[murda-c]

I thought the whole trying as hard as you possibly could to be an individual like all your friends trend died with the 90s...

[thejapino]

lol this is the EMOlution

There you go, fixed

[Matej]

Mexico needs to have the United Nations drop care packages full of Ed Banger sampler cd's and iPod shuffles pre-loaded with mixes selected by Gorilla Vs. Bear.

[AFSil80]

history lesson:

-punk and ska dies in 2000 blah blah blah blah
o, and stop using the word emo, it means emotional music; music has had emotion since it was invented so that shit is stupid. The genre most of you have a problem with is pop punk.

Stop being so emo. Do you cry during sex, too?

Real punk will never die, unlike this mall-punk-rock that you seem to favor. And as long as their is beer, people will be singing along to Reel Big Fish at the top of their lungs when they are plowed.

[Matej]

Where is matej, hahaha
Nahh bro I grew out of that, and I never considered myself "emo", though I guess bros can look at me and call me that because of my hair or something, but then I'll stomp on their flipflops bro.

To me scene kids and all these skatebaorder xxx hardcore brass knuckle bros are on the same level, they both shop at Hot Topic bro.

[AFSil80]

Nah I grew out of that, too many one-night stands, couldn't keep up!

To me scene kids and all these skatebaorder xxx hardcore brass knuckle punks are on the same level, they both shop at Hot Topic.

And CARRY their skateboards around, and rarely ride.

[spoolandslide]

those kids had to take the severe beating that would shake emos all over the world
