Listening to friends make fun of emos: Hey scenesters, get of our shows. This is one of last months funniest or weirdest articles on Blabbermouth.net. BTW, MEXICO, South and Central America, and Tawain believe it or not have a HUGE death and black metal scene as the separation of church vs. state is an even more substantial issue in those nations, there fore those (extreme) genres are having more of an impact. So look out emos and floor punching hardcore kids. So don't wear those Avenged Sevenfold shirts to the Mexican mall, don't wear those girls pants young men, and leave the eye liner to yer girlfriends.. Even the hardcore kids hate emo, and they are hated by death and black metal fans.
However, the homophobic rationalization of the attacks against emo kids has us all annoyed and worried. A friend of mine once said that up until the 70's, it was pretty much common for Mexican men to beat and kill random women with a low misdemeanor penalty. Later the civil rights movement from the USA finally had an effect on Mexico. Many Mexican men still think of woman as their personal property, as sexism is one of the most negative aspects of the other wise beautiful Mexican culture. So it's ok to attack emo kids because they look like "homos" and British Mods? Not in my country. Mexico is a catholic nation, wich such homophobic propaganda being shoveddown these kids throats via their "church", it's no wonder some kids were attacked..Emos, (although awful music, fashion and culture) with it's gender/ bender fashion statement are somehow associated with being "gay". . Again, some of these kids whom attacked the emos are more confused about religion and sexuality then a feather in a wirlwind. Religion, rebel by starting your own anti religious metal band, NOT by attacking some kids.
I've always been against the idea of cruelty to someone simply because they are different in look, idealism and theory..I'll stick to that theory, and practice it, to each their own and tolerance. However, from my experiences locally, most of those emo, alternative, rap and hardcore kids are the ones starting the shit, and destroying their regional scene. Emo isn't a different subculture, it's just stupid, white, middle class, wanna be goths, that upgraded their culture from nu metal, rock, to emo and poppier "music". Suketh. Most of the original wave of emo bands have sold out to pop or pop/punk culture.
This whole drama reminds me of the book and movie "The Outsiders" but these emo kids are not nearly that poor. Chances are, the emos will be "sad" enough to destroy themselves, why bother destroying them?
In reality, these mob attacks on emos in MEXICO are probably "scene rivalries" that should end RIGHT NOW, before all music scenes south of the border get shut down. The attacks on emos in MEXICO were blamed on metal heads, but if you read the article
it was other punks. Hardcore kids vs. emos?..More likely..Macho, floor punching, working class bullies vs. awfully shallow, alienated, middle class kids, both equally obnoxious. Both HATED by metal heads and rational people.
And..Please don't immigrate here or bring more Mex-EMOS or assholes of any music culture to the USA.I honestly don't care what happens on either side in Mexico, but when us metal heads say fuck off:...:Remembers the Norwegian black metal scene via the 90's: .To both emos, other punks and whomever attacked those emos: Take your mall core, intolerance and get fucked.
Support what you like, instead of bash what you hate..Support extreme metal..
BTW, one of the "emo" kids (in the newspaper photo) with his emo haircut is wearing a Brujeria t-shirt. Brujeria are a Mexican death metal band featuring ex members of Fear Factory, Napalm Death ect. So who says Mexicans don't have diverse taste in music? It's not about what you wear.
Friend to ME: "Can we throw out all emos, hardcore kids, and Retards Attempting Poetry people". ME: "Unfortunately it's not do able"..Maybe they'll stop them at the border".
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
