After the anti-emo spark in Queretaro, however, Kristoff went on the air to sharply chastise the emo bashers, essentially calling them cowards for chasing pacifist emos and not attempting to square off against, say, reggaetoneros or Mara Salvatrucha cells within Mexico.

Fat chance. The anti-emo players have so far been comfortable hiding behind mobs and anonymous monikers online. But their rage and thirst for blood is racking up real victims.

In Mexico City, a fashion decision has repercussions.

In Mexico City, a fashion decision has repercussions.

One Mexico City emo named Andres Sotomayor, 20, told of being jumped by a group of young men in Roma, the somewhat trendy Beaux Arts neighborhood, one Saturday afternoon. They held him down and chopped off chunks of his long hair, Andres said. Now, he’s totally bald.

“I felt impotent,” Sotomayor recalled during a pro-emo demonstration. “It seems like an injustice to me that there are these movements of social separation. We’re one country.”

Ive been jumped a few times for dressing scene/Emo and listening to emo bands. I hope shit like in Mexico doesn't go across the country and too much into the US.
