Press Release Summary: After the violent riots from Mexico, a new site appeared to
defend emo kids.

Press Release Body: LOS ANGELES - Beginning in early March, several hundreds of
people have gathered in riots against emo kids. In Queretaro, a city 160 north of
Mexico City with nearly 1.5 million residents, many residents are taking a stand
against the dyed hair (most often black), eye makeup wearing (yes even men!)
individuals.

These riots have led to police protection for the \'minority.\' The kids whom are
deemed \'emo\' are organizing to demonstrate against the violence. Many have
reportedly met with police Wednesday. \"They\'re organizing to defend their right to
be emo,\" said Daniel Hernandez of LA Weekly.

The variation of fashion and musical taste that is called emo began with bands such
as Death Cab for Cutie and Brand New taking popularity in the last ten years. Sites
like I-LUV-EMO.com were created to show appreciation toward the individualism of
their kind. This emo battle however is nothing new; subculture fights have been
apparently since the time of the hippies and Altamont Music Festival.

Mexico however associated being emo with being homosexual. Anti-emo websites have
been created to counter against the workings of LUV-EMO.com, a website created to
showcase the reality of what emo is and what it stands for. The website includes a
variety of categories for web browsers including emo fashiom, emo music, emo
pictures & emo forum.

Education through example, Luv-emo.com is living proof that emo exists and isn\'t
going away anytime soon.
