If you haven't been keeping up with news from down south, you may not be aware that there is a dramatic (yes, very dramatic indeed) war going on right now. A certain demographic, barely tolerated and largely ignored, is coming under attack for its differences. The victims? Homosexuals? native Indians? Nope. The answer: emo kids.

Large scale riots have occurred already in Mexico City, Querétaro, and Tijuana. Opposing the eyeliner-wearing emo kids is an alliance between the punks, rockabillies, and metalheads.
