Mexico's Emo Witch Hunt

This is just really bizarre.
Mexico's Emo Witch Hunt: mob attacks in Mexico City and Guadalajara

A bizarre wave of mob emo-bashings is sweeping across Mexico. The movement is being generated on message boards and social networking sites by non-emo youth who highly dislike like the emo look and attitude."
I had thought that Emo was a privileged white kid phenomenon. I was wrong. What really confuses me is that a lot of metal heads and punks are doing the attacking. Because Emo stole your culture? Like their culture isn't stolen from the earlier rockers and greasers. I don't like Emo either. But the proper response is not to go beating the crap out of them. You feed a bunch of gutter punks mushrooms and ecstasy and then send them on a hugging spree. That'll show 'em!

But here's some repeated expletives on the topic.

You'd be surprised at the number of priviliged white kids in Mexico. It's not as many as there are here, but they make up for it with the incredible disparity between the rich, mostly Spanish 10% and poor Indian and Mestizo 90%.

In Maz they hang around the theater and art school at the Plaza Machado looking complicated.
