Apparently they're beating and mugging the shit out of emos in Mexico right now...

Partial Copypasta from http://www.zmemusic.com/other/the-emo-witch-hunt-in-mexico-emo-kids-get-bashed-across-the-country/

Emo kids are easy to recognize due to their highly specific fashion style (black clothes, tight jeans, huge bangs, black eye makeup), as well as behavior. They’re characterized by a general state of depression and a sense of being not understood. Self mutilations and suicide attempts are common among the more hard followers. The whole emo movement has been detested for a pretty long time in Mexico, but up till now was mildly tolerated and ignored. The last drop to fill the glass though, was a recent videocast by popular local VJ, named Kristoff, who expressed a serious dose of anti-emo rhetoric and switched to English to say, on network television, “Fucking bullshit” referring to the emo movement.

Blogs, myspace pages, forums and various other internet websites, in Mexico, are all filled anti-emo message, proving there’s a somewhat nation-wide spread anger. Here’s just a few examples:

“I HATE EMOS!!! They are not even people, they are so stupid, they cry over meaningless things…My school is infested with them, I want to kill them all!”

“We’ve never seen all the urban tribes unite against one single tribe before…Emos, their way of thinking is for crap, if you are so depressed please do us all a favor and kill yourselves!”

</copypasta>

Also, I give you goths/emos not having fun at Disneyland.

I really don't understand the whole emo-bashing thing. My logic is this: does their makeup, their songs, their clothing or their crying/self-mutilation affect anyone else in anyway? NO. Is an emo in the park prancing around gonna get me fired, kicked out of my apartment or any other such thing? NO.
They really don't care about anyone else or "rage" about the other groups out there. Why should we care about what they do?
It really does annoy me how everyone on the internet is quickly clamoring to label something as "emo". "new videogame character X is emo", "new TV show Y is emo". And then those that say this feel satisfied that they were the first to claim something as "emo".
I'm Mexican and I think those kids in the videos beating other people up are idiots. Or I believe the appropriate term is "naco" (for the other Mexicans here that know what that meams).

"Naco" Isn't that a cross between a Nacho and a Taco? I should really stop watching disney channel...

Emo music can be tolerable, even quite good. The problem is the people.

And even most of them are probably doing it because its an easy way to be cool. I know a few people who consider themselves emo, but theyre not depressed or whiny or anything.

I always hate it when music I like gets called emo, Death Cab for Cutie isn't emo bastards. It's indie.

Most true emo music is awful. It used to be good, but it's gone the way of punk. Where's my NOFX, Anti-Flag and Bad Religion? I will kick Good Charlotte in the face.

My friend had to work with this chick once and she's completely dressed punk and he's like so you like punk. And she's like hell yea I'm a punk rocker. And mind you he's always dressed like a normal person, but likes some punk bands from the golden age. So he's like oh so you like NOFX? Who's that. He lists off other bands, no recognition. So who the hell do you like. Umm Avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte. Get the F$%# out of hear.

He laughed in her face and then told me I should go make fun of her. But I figured she's got enough problems. I feel sorry for her really.

Since appearing on the newspaper, tv, radio, etc, looks like "emo" is a popular topic right now in Mexico.

Like in school what we've been discussing is that it's funny how most of the people don't care about them, but the "rockers" and "punks", other cultural minorities, are the ones that don't tolerate them.

@Surf314
I remember when Warped Tour used to have NOFX, Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, Suicide Machines, The Vandals, The Bouncing Souls, etc.

@Macca
On the contrary, you should watch even MORE Disney channel.

I like the bouncing souls. I'm trying to remember the Vandals I know there was some songs I liked from them. I was never hardcore into punk, but I knew some people that introduced me to some good music. I love that song Maxwell Murder by Rancid, that bassline is killer. Also have you heard of a band called All? The world's on heroine is a cool song.

I liked it when bands knew they were colossal dorks like Nerf Herder. Now it's all like woe is me, I'm depressed and have bad hair. I'm going to cry and act like things are more important than they are. I like to revel in the fact I have no perspective on life, and drown out the music of people that knew how to rock and either make us laugh or care about some f'd up shit that was going on.

This is why I don't listen to the radio anymore =(

I mean emo's can be really hot but they just have a really backwards view on life and are incredibly self absorbed if you ask me. I would also like to point out that I do not advocate beating up anyone. They could probably use a hug instead, if anything this will only lead to more crying/cutting.

Yea, I remember going to a show here in Boston to see Wolfmother, and the opening band was - in all seriousness - Die Die Die. God that was an awful act to have to listen to. It was basically the lead singer just climbing on top of a wall of speakers, screaming his lungs out. The band wasn't that bad was the worst part, they really seemed to have talent. The music just sucked. That's the only time I was ever willing to foot the $5 a bottle for beer at a club.
