ANTI-EMO RIOTS BREAK OUT ACROSS MEXICO
Riot police have taken to the streets of several cities in Mexico to … defend emo kids?
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 kids 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 instead of just laying down, listening to Panic! At The Disco on their headphones, smearing their mascara to look tear-streaked, cutting themselves so they can “feel alive”, and surrendering, these Emo kids are rallying and preparing for war.
But the emo kids are organizing… Last week, they marched against the violence…
Here’s what a battalion of Mexican Emo kids looks like.
“What do we want? CHEAP RAZOR BLADES! When do we want them? NOW!”
And here are my two favourite faces in the crowd.
Gimp Emo:
Yessss, maassster.
Angry Emo:
Gaaarrr!

Ah hahaha. Hey, how come their fringes always go down over the right side of their heads/eyes?
Hmmm. I can feel a leftist conspiracy coming on.

I like this kid.
“Shut up. My mum put my little brother’s lucky red cap in the wash with my shirt, okay?”

Fucking emos. There was a group of the little ‘tards hanging around across the road from my local kebab shop last night. Clearly considering rioting, if only they could stop crying for a moment.

I’m sure I saw Elijah in there somewhere … he’s the one with the spud gun.

magic bellybutton, next time you see them, just wander over with a goon bag and ask them if they want a fight…

And then, regardless of the answer, start a fight anyway.

Good on the emos, if people decided it would be fun to beat up rock-and-metal-listening-to lefty IT professionals I’d march too. What right do those groupthinking sheep have to beat up people who dress differently to them?

LOL!
Ow, it hurts…

I don’t get Emos. Is it like being gay, or do you have a choice in the matter?
I never understabd anyone who aligns themselves to single style or genre. Like heavy metal heads, wouldn’t it get boring after a while? Would you one day want to ditch the denim and studded belts for a Teddy Boy suit and jump up and down to The Madness even for one night?
One thing I’m sure of though, if there were Emos at St Albans Tech, bad things would have happened to them at woodwork class.
