Emo Riots

...

On March 7 in Queretaro, a city north of Mexico City, a mob descended upon a square where fans of emo music congregate. That night, three teenagers were severely beaten. The following week, fans marching in Mexico City to protest the violence were attacked. Ioan Grillo, a freelance journalist, who wrote about the situation for Time Magazine, says that, while Mexican authorities are working to curb the trend, a swell of anger at so-called "emo" kids is not likely to abate.

...

"A lot of the emos in Mexico, as in the United States, tend to be middle-class kids," he says. "They're 15 or 16 years old, often going to private schools in Mexico, living in some of the better neighborhoods." He says the other kids — the metalheads, the punks — are coming from tough barrios. "They see these emos as being privileged, as well as being gay."

...

"When you see a group of these emos, marching, protected by a group of riot police, it makes the other kids even more angry," he says. Grillo says it was just a day or two before the march that Kristoff, an influential force in Mexico, first made his damning remarks about emo. "It looked like in a way he was was inciting this violence," Grillo says.

Here, I'll lolz for you: !!!!!

Metalhead/punk kids: 1

Emos: OWNED

No that's really bad just due to my distaste in emo kids I shouldn't be happy that three teens got the beat down, especially since they think they're gay because "they wear make-up"...which goth boys also do.

I hate emo I think just because it's so similar to goth, and so now people think I'm emo, when really their music is AWFUL and their style is definately not quite goth.

We just happen to both wear similar make-up in our subcultures. Except ours usually isn't pink, at least not on our boys.
