Today’s Recommended Mexican Emo Bashing Threads
Did You Hear? Angry violent mobs are beating the crap out of the emo kids in Mexico in what appears to be cut-and-dried hate crimes. Blogs sounds off:
» Daniel Hernandez picked up the story last Saturday. Check his comment thread for insight from both Los Angeles and Mexico; yes, actual Mexicans weighing in on the topic at hand. (also at LA Weekly)
» Brooklyn Vegan picked up the story today; check their lengthy comment thread primarily for hipster Brooklynites talking shit about other hipster Brooklynites (and a few scattered insights) (n/b: “EmoJihad” = clever nom de plume)
Tired of comments? It’s also on Time today, comment-free.
I’m emo what’s wrong with being emo????? What did we ever do to you? Just cuz u don’t have the balls to fite some1 u knw will kick ur ass means that u have to go and beat up teens! Just cuz we’re different from u?!? Ppl jus pisses me the fuck off!
I hate emo bashing. If people were beating up a normal kid normally people would help. Why is it different for an emo kid? They have feelings, they are human.
emo bashing is wrong and immoral…seriously if it was just a regular kid and angry ppl were beating him up..so many ppl would come to his rescue..but with emos they tink its different which its not…their ppl to..they deserve to be able to walk down the street and not be scared to get beat up!!
Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
“Remember them whiny Death Metal Assholes”…
Yes, and I remember people like you!
I’m not surprised this type of brutality has hit the streets in Mexico before and the cops are no help. This recents violence is reminicent
of the atrocities preceeding the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City when hundreds of Mexican students occupying the National University were slaughtered in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas in Tlatelolco, “Tlatelolco massacre.”
To this day the Mexican Government has only admitted to 30 killings, but Amnesty International put the number at 500. CIA and FBI at 200-300.
Somehow authorities couldn’t allow some long haired hippies to interrupt their Olympic festivites. This issue is being discussed at length in correspondence with the upcoming China Olympics.
Native Americans, Jews, Fags and Gypsies, Those Hippies had to go. Now these faggy Emo’s.
You know there is something latently homo-phobic surrounding this emo discorse. So a dude mopes around like T.S. Eliot’s “Prufrock” at a party. what do you care? Unless you want to talk to him. You know what I’m saying.
The news reel looks like a poor excuse to touch an Emo kid.
And yeah Emo’s are the new Metalhead of the Millenium. Remember them whiny Death Metal Assholes, Muahhhh! I’m not popular! I’m gonna read some Nietzsche and play D&D. And the Punks and Cowboys still play the Game of Queers and Steers in Downtown Austin. Masculinity- its just a mask anyway.
I don’t know what’s worst: the American media bias that makes us Mexicans look like savages–or the actual behavior and comments of us Mexicans that confirm that bias!
