Seeking peace among las tribus – In Mexico, violence against a youth subculture known as the emos spurs a campaign of conciliation.

“Suddenly, los emos are the talk of the town here.

For the uninitiated, emos are a category of black-clad teenagers known for their marked emotionalism — thus, supposedly, the name — and a sexually ambiguous style that combines the dark look of Goth with childlike touches of pink and other bright colors (think Tim Burton meets Hello Kitty).

In Mexico, emos appear to have been singled out for attack by other groups of youths recently, though the motives are unclear. The clashes, and reports of additional threats spread over the Internet, unnerved officials and put a spotlight on the Mexican variety of youth groups found the world over: punks, Goths, skaters and emos.”*
