Just Leave The Little Emo Kids Alone!

It seems there's a huge problem arising in Mexico, and it has nothing to do with politics or money.

Apparently, there is a wave of violence occuring against emo kids. Why the haterade???

Emo music fans are being attacked in the street by mobs. The attackers are supposedly punk, metal, and rock fans who dislike the emo kiddies for their look and attitude, it's being reported.

What's wrong with a little guyliner and mascara????

The attacks are being traced back to a rant on air by Kristoff, a TV personality on Televisa TV. Kristoff recently said emo was just "fucking bullshit", but later - after the attacks, he called for an end to the violence.

Unfortunately for Kristoff, he might take the blame for all the incidents if the Mexican government blames Televisa for all the attacks.

Earlier this month, over 800 people in Querataro, Mexico began to gang up against the emos, which resulted in several violent attacks. Just a week later in Mexico City, a similar incident took place. The emos in both Querataro and Mexico City decided to respond to the violence by marching peacefully through the center of the cities.

How emo!

Write a song about it!

And, it seems Mexico isn't the only country facing this issue. Apparently, Chile is also seeing violence against emos.

Attacks have been shown on news reports throughout the country of emos, known in Chile as "PokEMOns" being attacked.

Love your emo brothers and sisters!

Don't they have Hot Topic stores in Mexico and Chile they can all go and chill in???

what does emo stand for anyway? Is it like "emotional" like their lives are so much more difficult than everyone else's, having to grow up in upper middle class suburbia, drive an SUV, and be forced to talk to their parents? Whew, that sound soooo rough…however do they manage to persevere? It must be the eyeliner.

Stupid wetbacks are so dangerous and backwards they belong in the stoneage. They should be glad that the emo is bringing some culture and sensitivity to their vile, drug infested country. The drug dealer El Presidente of that bedpan country probably approve of it.

67

Why do people hate on emo anyways, I mean emo isn't real it is made up by the media and perpetuated by idiots. I don't know all the specifics about how it came about but isn't all music (other than most rap) an expression of emotions, yet somehow these kids are ganged up on. I listen to some "emo" music but I don't wear black, I don't cut myself, and I don't wear mascara. People just need to stop finding groups of people to discriminate against, this is just some punk rockers trying to be more hardcore than their younger counterparts… pussies!

Does anyone actually know what an EMO is????? People keep asking and no one answers. I don't know, but I would be interested to see if anyone in here does esp when they cut them down and might not even know what they are talking about.
Okay??????
amycakes says – reply to this

people seem to have forgotten what emo is. emo is weezer, fugazi, sunny day real estate, saves the day, bad sweaters, satchels and a general penchant for geekery. rivers cuomo is emo not gerard fucking way! this so called emo is just an offspring of goth and an excuse for spoilt middle class kids to be hormonal and wear stupid make up and get in my fucking way when i'm trying to get to work!

Amanda says – reply to this

75

This bugs me. They are attacking these emo kids because they dont like the way they dress and act. Do these people think that the way they are acting is much better? Why cant they just act like they want and dress how they want. This is whats wrong with society. IF someones different they are automatically shut out. Its wrong.

Gina Buentiempo says – reply to this

77

Nope, we don't have a Hot Topic store here. Kristoff is not the one to blame about all of this, is just a bunch of people with nothing to do. I actually party a lot near where all of those 'emo' kids hang around here in Mexico City, they just sit there and look sad, haha. I have nothing against them and I see them all the time… I think it's stupid to blame just one person, even one network… Televisa is HUGE here but one person (Kristoff) against 5 or 6 thousands that worh there. I don't think he has te power to start all of this!

Ps: LOOOOVE YOU PEREZ! =)
Ps2: the other city it's QUERETARO not QUERATARO!

Unfortunately anything that may suggest homosexuality in many Latin American societies is considered threatening or unacceptable. Guys wearing eyeliner and wearing womens' pants could definitely be seen as homosexual resulting in an attack. I know that assumption is beyond the "emo" look, but many Hispanic cultures are still conservative Catholics who look down on anything remotely homosexual.

HI PEREZ, IM FROM CHIHUAHUA MEXICO, AND NOOOOOOOOO WE DONT HAVE HOT TOPIC HERE IN LATINAMERICA, IF I WANT TO GET SOMETHING I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO EL PASO TX…which by the way reminds me I need a new FEDORA…

85

First off this wave of "emo" that has been happening lately is NOT emo! It is gothic kids that shop at hot topic that started to wear their clothes tighter. Emo music is not around anymore, and when it was it sure as hell didn't sound like any of the shit they're trying to pull of as emo now. Emo is not eyeliner and bad pixies. Listen to The Braid, The Juliana Theory, Sunny Day Real Estate, that is what emo WAS. If i hear little kids use this word one more fucking time I swear to god i'll die.

perez, you are hispanic and you should understand how ignorance is rampant in latin america (im latin as well) when i was 12 i loved metallica and guns and roses and wearing what was called "heavy metal clothes" i got punished and beat and sprinkled with holy water quite a bit. people just kept telling my family that i was "a satanica" or devil worshiper because of the clothes. amazing that 15 years have passed and these idiots are still doing this. ps i still fucking love metallica and guns and roses
In Mexico. says – reply to this

93

I don't think the hate has anything to do with the music. I think first of all, it is mob mentality. You can be part of a fight and riot and you know there will be no consequences.
and second of all, i think the hate is more toward the emo's appearance. Emo guys are pretty. They wear makeup and spend time on their hair and clothing and fashion, and are sensitive. All this equals =GAY in the haters minds. And most of latin america is very machista. And Homosexuality is not accepted in most parts.

I am mexican and I just feel embarrassed for my country and my ppl. Its so stupid.

Amanda says – reply to this

97

Also, all of these people are commenting on how GOOD it is and that they wish emo people would die.

Why? is it because they dont like the same music as you? Just because they wear the "emo" clothes it doesnt mean they go home and cry and cut themselves all night. They like the style of dress, they like the style of music. So they dont like the rock like everyone else, who the hell cares? they like that style of music and its their choice and who are to judge them?

get a life.

Man, you are a fucking ignorant. Lear how to read the news first. Pokemones have nothing to do with EMO's in Chile, as a matter of fact, they don't get along very well. However, there have been no news regarding violence among those groups.
You are giving information that is completely WRONG.
