??!! There’s a War in Mexico: It’s Emos vs. the Rest of the Country

And the emos are losing.
“Mexico’s Emo Witch Hunt: Mob attacks in Mexico City and Guadalajara… Televisa VJ’s rants inspire violence… Emo kids fight back across the country…”
The footage is all in Spanish, but you get the idea of the scene—the punks come in, the Hare Krishnas make an appearance… sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.
And then there’s this video in which, says the LA Weekly, “a Televisa on-air personality named Kristoff expresses a serious dose of anti-emo rhetoric and switches to English to say, on network television, “Fucking bullshit” to the emo movement.”
If anyone out there speaks Spanish and can translate it, please do. The jist of it is apparently the movement (emo) is stupid and self-absorbed. And yeah, “fucking bullshit.” But I’d love to know exactly what’s being said. Especially in the news broadcast clip.
slow news week eh.
That just cheers my little heart.
kill emos?
si se puede!
weeeerd. punketes against darkis against emos and the jarekrishnas save the day! BTW 'fucking bullshit' is a mexican way of saying, well, fucking bullshit.
Where the hell is Morrissey?!
the faux hawk guy in the second video says: "I just wanna say one thing: Emo sucks. What is Emo? It's something for 15 year old girls who just started sprouting their little hairs (and we all know where). They are "emoting" because they have a crush on the singer of the group, not because they like the music, number one. Number two: It's necessary to create a genre to express emotion? So death metal doesn't do it? Punk isn't enough? Camila, Sin Bandera, and Jose Jose (nb: Latin recording artists) are not enough? Is it necessary to create a new genre saying, "Dude, everyone else is wrong! We're not emotionally fulfilled!"
Pinche Mierda, kids!
There's no movement, there's no state of mind, there're no musicians. You're confusing punk, hard rock, screamo. You put together all these styles only to give significance to your stupid asshole "movement." It's not a movement."
And, yeah, I agree Emo is a "mamada."
