Attacks on Mexican Emos Reflect Nation's Fundamental Social Problems—and Political Causes Behind Them

Roving gangs of young men in Mexico are beating and terrorizing teenage boys who like "emo" music. The situation shows the value of respect for rule of law and the pressing need for a culture of liberty. Time magazine reports that Mexican gangs are beating up and generally terrorizing male "emos," young men whose fashions identify them as following the alternative-rock movement known as emo, which tends to concentrate on exploring adolescent emotions and includes lyrics dealing with depression. Emo males tend to dress somewhat effeminately, and are predominantly middle-class, both of which have infuriated lower-class punks in Mexico's still macho-oriented culture.
