| Anti-Emo Riots Break Out Across Mexico |
| 2008-04-01 |
| If this is an April Fool's joke, it's a damned elaborate one. Riot police have taken to the streets of several cities in Mexico to ... defend emo kids? A series of attacks on dyed-hair, eye-makeup-wearing emo kids began in early March when several hundred people went on an emo-beating rampage in Querétaro, a town of 1.5 million about 160 miles north of Mexico City. The next week, shaggy-haired emo teenagers were harassed again by punks and rockabillys in the capital, prompting police protection and a segment on the TV news. Most recently, a Mexican newspaper reported that metal heads and gangsters have warned Tijuana's emo kids to stay away from the town's fair next month. . . . In case you're wondering what an "emo" is: All I can say to that is: "Cheer up, emo kid!" |

| #1 Interesting post, Mike. Reminds me of the movie version of "Quadrophenia", where they re-enact riots between mods & rockers in the UK in the '60's. I think the girl from the second clip may be the one who sold me a Fats Domino compilation at Best Buy the other day - haha. |
