Strangely meaningless

BBC reports of emos being attacked in Mexico. Well, quite frankly, I think that violence should be used for a meaningful purpose. What I saw in BBC gave me a myriad of emotions.
In a way, it felt nice to see the youth fighting for what they believe in.Despite the wierd physical appearances that I loathe, I started looking beyond that. i saw that they were there, the emo, standing for what they believed in. That was all that I felt until all of a sudden, the news reporter announced that they don’t really want to change the world, they were actually fighting for the right to be emotional. Not really punks rallying in an establishment, rather, “young people drawn to a life that puts the individual first”.
WTF?! That’s just B*llsh*t!
They could be emotional, but do they have to block traffic and all that just to get heard? They are already recognized in mexico, in the Philippines, and wherever! What else do they want?
I thought all along that they were fighting against some corrupt government official, or for better educational facilities. I thought wrong. Way wrong. According to one of the morons: “Emos let their emotions take over them. We’re not just depressives like others say.” They say that emos are being discriminated by punks, and gothics. Now for me, that’s just sick. To think that the emos have brought upon themselves to the level of violence? Well, not on their own alone, but with the help of their fellow punks and gothic boneheads. Why do they have to be in both physical and ideological conflict? According to a punk idiot: I”don’t like emos because they want to look like punks and goths… Those cultures are much more important thant emo, and they don’t know anything about that.”
Quite frankly, I’d like to kick this guy’s balls. Emotional hardcore came from Goths, which evolved from punk rock. Someone tell this guy how emo came from them.
Word to the punks and emos:
What?! Can’t look your children in the eye?
