Photo: Mexican emo kids gather in response to anti-emo violence by metalheads and punk rockers.
Apparently, Jordanian Metalheads are not the only emo-phobic in this world, the riot police in Mexico have taken to the streets defend emo kids because of a series of attacks on dyed-hair, eye-makeup-wearing emo kids which 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, emo teenagers were harassed again by punks and rockers in the capital, prompting police protection and a segment on the TV news. Most recently, a Mexican newspaper reported that metalheads and gangsters (wow, rap and metal unite?) 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.

Emos well, ruin the whole rock/metal scene with their antics. metalheads and punks used to be respected people by all until emo’s came with suggestive clothes, wanting to get attention and ocurrences of self harm. With the rise of emo-friendly metal (nu-metal metalcore deathcore) non-metalhead predjudice anyone who listens to metal as “emo” even if they are not (this happens to me).
I hate emo-screamo kids.
Punks are awesome
Hail metal.

the problem is, they handle their problems in the EXACT opposite way of metalheads and punks. For metalheads and punks, action and attacking the enemy is the only way. Sitting in a corner and whining is not gonna do anything; just take a look at the black metal church burnings and anarchy of punks; once you start hearing emos claim to be “hardcore” or “br00tal”, you get pissed, knowing that they will never take action against the mainstream they supposedly hate. Whatever happened to MEANING and GOING ON THE OFFENSIVE?!?
