Darkness surrounds me
Pierces me like the knife
I cut my flesh with
My parents don't understand
They are afraid of the darkness
Yo quero taco bell

Right. Only now they have better haircuts. Remember back then they didn't even have the haircuts, yet, because no one in town did those haircuts or their parents wouldn't let them. They all just molded their regular haircuts into bizarre shapes with gel and hairspray. Ah, the good old days.

I like the picture of the Mexican kid with the red hair going over his eyes. He looks like a bull dog.

Not every post need be a serious commentary on the real life experience, I'm well aware of what Mexicans eat, but when crafting a 30 second joke, it worked better for a non Mexican audience then say yo quero cochinita pibil.

You know there was a Taco Bell in Playa Del Carmen for about a week, it was attached to the KFC. Guess they're owned by the same corp. these days. My friend asked me "what the hell is this shit, dog food?" I told him in English "Taco Bell" means horrible tacos.

KFC still there last I checked, just down the street from Burger King, Micky D's and WalMart.

PDC went to shit five years ago, Cancun five years before that. Least the PDC beaches are still topless.

I think as a whole adults are just slightly less moronic than kids, this slight edge managed to remove the urge to become an emo. I think they just become alcoholics and junkies instead.

The rivalry is stupid, but I understand it since I want to beat the living shit out of every fucking hardcore kid who jumps in the pit at a metal show and starts playing Power Rangers, punching and kicking instead of moshing. I listen to hardcore, too, but there's a world of difference between the two and they're incompatible. Of course, the average person probably doesn't know there's a difference between hardcore and metal, so I'm just another one of "those people" to them. I also wish emo would stop invading the hardcore genre with the whiny bullshit.
The difference is that the commodity identity becomes a lifestyle for scenesters. Emo is a way of life, even if it is a whiny, bitchy one that only lasts into the individual's mid-'20s at which point they grow out of it or develop a heroin addiction, at which point they start listening to doom metal.
The difference is between emo and goth is that goths hate everyone but themselves and emos just hate everyone.

MSD, i understand this pit hatred. fight invisible ninjas in my circle pit and become a target. >.<
"land that spin kick and see what happens!"

you know, i think ive enjoyed reading this thread more than any other so far. Its great to see how others feel about these emo kids.

You say that like there's any real significant difference between emo/punk/hardcore/grindcore/death metal/black metal....

The only difference between "scenes" are the haircuts and whether or not your particular brand of angst claims to bring on the revolution by sticking it either to your parents, the self, the government, or religion.

Ughh.

And as for these emo kids standing up for their right to wear eyeliner and skinny jeans regardless of gender....yawn.

I can't say that this bothers me much at all. If everybody's carrying a stick, then you're an idiot if you dress like a piñata.

I get a real sense of, "Shut up or I'll give you something to cry about," around complaint rock by any name.

The beat the snot out of the emo kids, and I said nothing because I'm happy with my life.
They gunned down the gangsta rappers, and I said nothing because I'm neither a gangsta nor a gangster.
They ridiculed the juggaloes into extinction, and I laughed because partying in clown makeup has got to be the silliest thing I have ever heard.
I don't figure they'll be coming for me, because I understand that music is only music, not salvation, not a guide to how to live.
If they do come, I'll crank "Die With Your Boots On" as loud as it goes and take as many of them with me as I can.

Wonder if "Si todos llevando un palo, entonces usted es un idiota si usted viste como una piñata." Will fit well on a t-shirt?

Oh, I have a big punk tattoo and I'm a tool of the man. Just like everybody else my age. I don't get to have cool shaggy hair or a mohawk, though. The man said no.

Something about these riots taking place in Mexico makes me think of a possible Carlin routine.

I already do.

I'm shocked that emo kids being emo was found to be newsworthy. However, i do believe the gathering of the emos is one of the signs of the coming apocalypse.

I pretty much can't stand anyone who lives there life according to a scene. I personally love all music, mostly metal and country though. I have several friends in the punk scene who are in bands and I attend them regularly. I think pretty much everyone at the show looks like an idiot. I also love to go to my metal shows, and metal heads have to be some of the dumbest people I have ever met! With them everything is "brutal" or "grim", they can never just be normal. And emos are by FAR the worst of every scene on the planet, who decided it was cool to cut on yourself and you win the more depressed you are?

Can't people just be normal?

I play the guitar and I like to write mostly metal music, but I am never angry and depressed about it. I just get more happy and more pumped the more kick ass a riff is, the more bad ass the solo the more I grin. I don't understand all this angst and hatred involved with music.

ObieX

From what i understand emo is sorta like goth but emos are bigger cry-baby-pussies (thus the 'emo'tional) and don't always wear black.

ObieX

Ahh, yes, but emos tend to also be posers that want to fit in someplace even tho they tend to shy away from most social interaction. Thats why they all style themselves the same and associate themselves with a label to begin with. This poserness is rather common in all of the above mentioned labels tho.

Two things I've noticed.

1. What's up with all the emo hatred on this board? I barely even notice that there is such a subculture, and I live in the heart of a very large, urban city, in very white areas, and regularly attend indie rock concerts. It just doesn't register. Where are all these people, and why do they piss everyone off so much?

2. I've read a couple things over the last few months about the supposed "macho" Hispanic culture, about which I know very little. I guess this story confirms a bit the things I've heard about how much of Hispanic culture can be misogynistic and homophobic - not that those qualities are limited to just that culture, of course...

Whiny middle class white people complaining about how bad they have it. Should answer itself.

The fact that this occurred in Mexico and involves a group other than middle class white people scares me.

Si todos llevan palos, entonces usted sea un idiota si se viste como una piñata,.

I think vestir would be reflexive, ser would be subjunctive, and the whole first clause would be third person plural including the object (palos). One could make it ruder by casting in in the tu form.

However "&iexcl;Muera espuma emo!" might be even better.

Obviously you're Spanish skills far exceed mine. I just plugged it into a translator program, which often just translates word for word. As I've stated on here before my Spanish rates about a 8... out of 100. I can order food, asked prices, get directions etc... Beyond that, not much.

I should take class and may at some point. But right now I'm doing the "diversion al maximo" thing.

I still find your original saying funny.

After growing up in the barrios of Van Nuys, "¡Chinga tu madre, pendejo!" comes out naturally and quickly...and my spanish I don't know where it falls in that 100 scale but definitely seems like 8 when I go to Spain.

They're obnoxious, whiny, and self-loathing for no reason. I'm not a fan of anyone who defines themselves by the scene they follow (seems that the people who blindly follow the trends are the ones get brainwashed when a genuinely harmful sociopolitical movement arises) but the fact that the emo scene is defined by forcing one's self to be miserable goes against what should be biologically hard-coded and stunts social progress as a society.

She looks 18 to me, though, so unless someone's got compelling evidence otherwise, no changes are needed.
