Emo is like any style, fashion or culture. The term emo is loosely associated with emotionally charged punk rock, however it originally meant emotionally hardcore - modern 'emo' music is more of a branch off from what it started out as.

A lot of times, Emo is associated with being bitter, depressed, insecure and resentful.

A bizarre wave of mob emo-bashings is sweeping across Mexico. The movement is being generated on message boards and social networking sites by non-emo youth who highly dislike like the emo look and attitude.

The spark came first in Queretaro on March 7. An estimated 800 young people poured into the city's Centro Historico hunting for emos to beat the crap out of. They found some. The next weekend it spread to Mexico City, where emos faced off against punks and rockabillies at the Glorieta de Insurgents, the epicenter of emo social space in the capital. There's also been reports of anti-emo violence in Durango, Colima, and elsewhere.

The question on everyone's lips right now seems to be, "What the hell is going on?" Been reporting this story since it broke, and we're looking further into it. Updates in the near future.

The seven deadly Flickr sins!

Big kudos to Tracy here. It was quite frankly, bloody freezing. But you know, we both knew it would look cool. So there she sits, on the kerbstone as I set up some lights, watching me trying to avoid the silly tool doing their driving lesson up and down the empty street otherwise known as our set, wrapped in my fleece, texting her friends planning her night out. And I was smiling.

Tracy rocks you know. She partys hard, often.Party girls have never been my thing, I wouldn't know how to do a night out clubbing and falling around in the street with your mates if you hit me round the head with it, but underneath all that there's a very cool person hanging around. And sat there, shooting this that night taught me one thing. You can't lable people. It doesn't matter whether Tracy was an emo kid, some uptight stiff, a party girl or the stay at home quietly type, underneath it all, underneath all of us and our lables, there's someone unique.

If I set out with these photos to try and capture personalities and the real people inside, then I needed to try and learn how to myself. How to peel back the layers and find that real person. I dunno if I've managed it, or if I ever will, but at least trying, and learning a little bit, makes me and my pictures, that little bit richer. I felt very privileged to be sat in that street that night, realising all of this. It was a good day.

(And yes, that is the moon top right...)
