There's a difference between being at fault and knowingly putting yourself at risk. These kids are obviously doing the latter. This isn't claiming the slutty dressed girl got what was coming to her... this is two rival groups fighting each other and not acting surprised that someone got beat up when they put on their uniform.

Like, ten people actually owned Rites of Spring records, and Fugazi is NOT an emo band for the 1000th time.

I was a goth/new waver during the 80's and I can safely say that it wasn't socially acceptable or corporate driven. Emo was corporate created. It has nothing to do with the bands that were called emo in the 80's.

Unless of course I was so insecure that my clothing was the only possible way to express myself...

I hope you realize that this is a pretty fucked-up thing to say - along the lines of "well she was dressed slutty, so she deserved it..."

Either way, "Seven Day Candle" still gives me chills to this day so we still win while the foreigns beat eachother up for Gerard Way's sins.

Any teen that falls for it and thinks that it makes them an individual to look 'emo' deserves some sort of punishment.

Even in the saddest of circumstances it is ok to take a step back and realize that every single person involved in this conflict is totally retarded; be it the emos who can totally avoid beatings by opting to not wear eyeliner on a particular night but choose not to, to the metal heads who are so bored they need to beat up the emos, to the TV personalities who have taken the time to take a serious in-depth stance on the entire ridiculous scene.

Emo jokes are kinda shitty in this context, guys. Sorry. They're funny otherwise, but this story is really fucking depressing/disturbing. I mean, substitute any other fashion-oriented subgenre of music -- choose your favorite, there probably is a fashion -- and imagine having your country do shit like this to you. Fucked up. Especially for a country where drama is the DOMINANT abstract across not just the music spectrum but in the country's culture.

It's a fascinating story and there should be a lot more coverage on it.

I don't think people realize how HUGE, say, "goth" or -- for lack of a better term -- dramatic pop is in Mexico and further South -- especially Mexico. The drama abstract is all over the music spectrum there, and beyond music.

Emo jokes are usually funny, but this story is really depressing, and -- sorry guys -- they're a bit uncalled for in this context.

Though I understand the loss of national identity I guess. Those emos need to start sporting cowboy hats!
