the article wreaks of satire... but it's the Wired, and that Youtube video of the local News channel is pretty convincing

No the Mexican emo bashing is definitely for real. I ran across a cnn.com article on it.

We bash emos here too, the violence has gotten to the point that they fear to leave their philosophy classes now.

I think any one who gets together to "defend their right to be emo" is therefore NOT emo for that very reason. Unless the protests are being held on facebook, myjournal, myspace, etc the real emos wouldn't give a shit. They'd just get more depressed and write more bad poetry.

Unfortunately... if Mexican (and Canada?) are bashing their emos... they'll come here to the US! We don't want any more emo kids; don't give us your garbage unless we can give you something else of equal or greater value... like furries or something.

I'm sure emo kids would at least give a shit enough to defend their culture. After all, the reason why they are in an emo group is because they don't fit into any other group. Ostrization's a bitch.

This is a beautiful, epic thing.

Reading the article, you see that grunge, thrash, metal, punk, and just about all the rest of music is uniting.

Uniting for on common, singular purpose.

The eradication of emo.

For too long, tight pants and skewed hair have been distracting teenage girls from horrible music. For too long have grown men placed their balls in a vice and squeezed out their sorrow and low self-esteem in high pitched, strident lyrics. For too long have kids proudly declared, while slitting their wrists and sucking each other off in bathrooms, that "I am emo".

For too long.

But no longer.

This is the spark, my brothers. The spark which will ignite the flames of revolution! The time has come! Seize your bats and Ipods. Jam Pantera at the highest volume, amp up your Converge and Red Cord CDs, take your Uzi's and Wu Tang albums and take to the roads. Seek out the emo in their clubs, their suburban homes, their mother's basements, the graveyards. Do unto them much harm--strike them until they no longer can harm you, and when they have been smote to the ground, declare your supremacy as the master of the "Rock", and burn their homes and families to the ground.

For the glory of Allah!

Joking or not, this is probably the type of atmosphere that prompts this sort of thing. Oh, how soon the punks forget when they were the ones persecuted.

I'm not saying that I like emos at all, but it's just another culture wanting to be different like the punks, grungers, and metalheads.

There's a difference between buying a random hoodie/shirt from Hot Topic and your whole wardrobe consisting of clothing from there. :)

Calling Emo a culture is like calling goat intestines a food.... technically you're right, but few people actually think so too and nobody likes it.

Tell that in the face of a Scotsman. They are all about their haggis.

They're all about those skirts too, so they're not far off from emo anyway ;)
