    Theres a huge scene in SOCAL, California area where the mexican kids love new order, the cure, the smiths, joy division, goth, new wave music. Goth music isn't anything new to the Mexican kids in California. We've been into this music forever.

    As someone who has been on the Darkwave/Goth scene for decades I have known lots of South American and Mexican bands who have had long standing presence in the scene since the 90's. Along with chollo rockabilly, psychobilly and west coast punk. All these scenes kind of intersect in some ways. Nothing really new here. Noisy should do a history of Mexican and South American contributions to the Darkwave scene. Now that would be interesting. Bands like Hocico. Or contemporary bands like Balvanera, Humanfobia, or Vólkova. Now that would be new and interesting.

    I'm Mexican and grew up in the 80s listening to all kinds of different music because of the influences I had from my parents, brother and sisters, and friends. Over all I always seemed to favor new wave.
    It makes me chuckle because as much as we as people say we hate to be labeled or stereotyped, we do it to ourselves!! This video and these comments are saturated with them!!!!!
    I wasn't a goth, cholo, punk, metal head, b boy, or whatever, I was just ME! And for me growing up, as far as the music is concered, it was purely about the music!!!!! What happened to that????? I NEVER let it define who I was inside. It was all about how it made me feel! WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT???? We lost that some where, some how.
    This goth, goth cholo, punk, metal head, what ever name you think of, they are all labels, they are all stereotypes. The music should not define you, the music should make you feel and think. So many comments on here mention, I grew up looking like this but I loved listening to this. The video itself states it. That's because we have labeled and stereotyped ourselves and others. Just let it be about the music and enjoy it!
    Music should not define us, but bring us enjoyment and unite us. NO MATTER WHO WE ARE!!!!! Cholos listening to goth music only looks strange because we made it look that way. But in general its nothing new.
    I guess I grew up different. Music connected me to others, it was a common ground. If I meet someone who enjoyed the same type of music I enjoyed, I didn't even give how they looked a second thought! I wanted to get to know them and found out what their favorite album or song is from that singer/band!!!!!
    LET THE MUSIC UNITE US NOT DIVIDE US!
    Just one of my favorite bands for life...............SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES ❤

      @Stasisification 9 років тому +6

      God is love. He may not love what you do, but he loves everyone equally. If you want to please him, you will not focus on judgment and hate but love and acceptance. I absolutely do not accept Satanism. But the passion and poetry that goes into the Goth culture is beautiful. ALSO NOWHERE WAS HOMOSEXUALISM PROMOTED. That is strictly your own close-minded interpretation of something you don't understand. BTW- one can have a strong relationship with God and be a homosexual. I go to church, am open about my faith with others and God works in my life all the time. You, my friend, should keep in mind that the bible is built on certain values and traditions that were acceptable back when the bible was written.. but it has been reinterpreted over and over again by man throughout time, so while it should be referred to and respected, it shouldn't be taken word for word and used to judge other non-believers.

    • @chaoshuffer
      @chaoshuffer 9 років тому +14

      Rachel S +Fabian Anaya Your God does not represent love and acceptance in our world, he represents oppression. Since before the Council of Nicea (where your Nicene Creed comes from), Christianity has been used as a tool for erasing pagan and native cultures from the planet wherever the have been found. More violence has been perpetuated in the name of Christ than any other banner, flag, or ideological cause in the history of humanity. You may like to try and justify the repulsive history of your beliefs by focusing on the "good" Christianity contributes to the world but the fact is for every positive act undertaken in the name of Jesus there are multiple instances of sexism, patriarchy, homophobia, racism, nationalism, religious persecution, and intolerance undertaken at the instruction of the same God. You already know deep down that Christianity is just another master and authority figure you've inherited and taken too seriously, and if you don't I can gladly point you to a wealth of historical facts documenting the irreparable damage your faith has done to our planet. Would you stand behind the Nazi party simply out of personal tradition after seeing the harm they wrought on the world, while defending your choice by praising the German war effort's contributions to modern science? Of course not. Have the courage to truly think for yourself and live your own life, you don't need a mediator or authority figure between you and the divine.

  • @JohnnyQuanSW
    @JohnnyQuanSW 9 років тому +28

    I like this band's music since I'm a post-punk music enthusiast and try to collect it from every subgenre, time, and corner of the world -- sonically, the music's nothing new, and at first I was rolling my eyes too at the silly "cholo-goth" statement, and maybe the frontman's got a vibe of arrogance.
    But going through these comments? I see some of it proving his point - fuck, he's absolutely right. There's a divide between the two subcultures, not to mention general outsiders of either scene, that can't do more than pigeonhole, judge, stereotype, and be hateful (such as some of the homophobic shit here). We're having a hard enough time accepting others as general human beings with race and LGBT tensions and etc, but can't even see beyond subcultures either, two worlds both heavily stigmatized as is.
    In reality, deep down, I'm sure anybody could relate to that sort of peer pressure expectation from others, when you come from one background in conflict to another (in his case, his Mexican heritage and upbringing in a gang life, to his strong love for a particular style of music and artistic sensibility). In a way, maybe "cholo-goth" wouldn't be a thing if either scenes didn't stigmatize him about it in the first place. This man's not a stereotype, and I commend him for it.

    As as a Mexican and from Chicago, grew up with the same music, and there are a lot of Latino Goth Thugs here as well, as I used to be involved in the Gang Culture, and wish you nothing but success.
