Pfft. Why bother defending Emos? It's funny baiting them and watching them cry and get all gay.

On face value it's pretty ridculous and cringeworthy in equal measure. If anyone's actually been following the story though, it's essentially been a quirky cover for what is tantermount to anti-gay groups physically attacking innocent kids.

The reason it's really kicked off in Mexico is that it seems to have a very masculine, alpha-male thing ingrained in the culture and the popularity of 'emo' culture is seen as having connections with homosexuality. It's a pity the whole thing has been trivialised for the media by making it some kind of subcultural thing, it's really just 'macho' guys battering guys they think look gay. It's pretty horrific.

If that's the case then it's a pretty stupid idea to go around dressing like an androgyne.

You can actually act this story out using smileys. Watch.

Emo kid - "I'm so emo and moody"
" Emo kid - I'm going to kiss another man just to be different"
Mexican - "Look at that gaylord".
Mexican - "He looks like a right fairy"
Mexican - "Time to tool up and take to the streets"
Emo kid - "Help we need the riot police"
Emo kid - "Too late"

If you deliberately choose to dress in an outlandish, provocative manner, and it attracts the wrong kind of attention, as a fashion victim that's your problem, not society's.

Also, what's wrong with "gender conformity"?
