Anti-Emo Riots Break Out Across Mexico
2008-04-01
If this is an April Fool's joke, it's a damned elaborate one.

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 teenagers 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. . . .

In case you're wondering what an "emo" is:



All I can say to that is: "Cheer up, emo kid!"
