This isn't even an Onion headline

Just when you think you have the world figured out, you see something like this:

Anti-emo Riots Break Out in Mexico:

"...the violence began March 7, when an estimated 800 young people poured into the Mexican city of Queretaro’s main plaza “hunting” for emo kids to pummel. Then the following weekend similar violence occurred in Mexico City at the Glorieta de Insurgents, a central gathering space for emos."

There's even a pro-violence blog that claims to be leading the "Anti Emo-sexual Movement" (which is a pun on homosexual and probably makes more sense in Spanish, since the H is silent). There's a video, which I can't understand, but which doesn't stop it from being funny.


Apparently, the main leaders of the riots are punk rockers (who really don't seem that different from emos to me, just less depressed, but what do I know) and - really I'm not making this up - rockabillys (you can see a few in the video). Rockabillys? Really?
