Mexico's Emo-Bashing Problem (kinda like beating up Kenny from South Park)

"Kill the emos," shouted the assailants, who had organized over the Internet to launch the attack in Mexico's central city of Queretaro.

I have little sympathy for people who try to stand out in a magnitude of 100 than others. They draw bad attention to themselves and make themselves targets regardless of “how” they should be tolerated.

They are like girls who only look at their own breasts.

Don’t they know the world is more interesting than they are?

Emo=Emotional. It is used to describe a punk rock subculture. Emo music can be kind of depressing, my son would call it suicide music.

Emo culture sounds like Little Richard music sung by Pat Boone or Perry Como.

#12 is pretty close. Its’ kind of a subculture that sez: “Everything sux and I am so depressed. Look at me”

Young drama queens.
