This & That :: I hate Mexico, and I hate Emo Kids

This & That No Comments

Is it too much to ask for Mutually Assured Destruction?

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.

But the so-called emos are organizing, too. Last week, they demonstrated against the violence, pictured above, and Wednesday some met with police in Mexico City.

“They’re organizing to defend their right to be emo,” wrote Daniel Hernandez of LA Weekly on his personal blog, which has provided stellar coverage of the whole affair.

While differences in musical style are a significantly more valid reason to kick someone’s teeth in than differences in musical origin (SEE: Bad Boy vs. Death Row), in my opinion everyone involved is equally worthless.  Emo because it espouses an effeminate and unnatural role for men as an execution stroke in the war of man vs. wuss, and Mexico because…well, let’s face it.  It’s MEXICO.

And now, for your viewing pleasure…100% pure, high-octane nightmare fuel.

THEY LIVE.

I’ve finally come to the conclusion that since I’m paying for this web space I might as well use it.

I made repeated attempts to make this a purely political blog and in every case I rapidly lost interest. So, rather than spreading myself thin I have started fresh. This site will be about me in general…who I am, what I do, what I think. Fear not, I’m not going all emo, people. I don’t have the the kind of butt it takes to fill out women’s jeans. Thank God.

I’ll post art, tutorials, rants, all that stuff. If you like it, cool. If you don’t, leave. I’m here to entertain me.

The reboot starts today.
