Mexico City-based freelance journalist Ioan Grillo produced this piece for Current TV summarizing the "emo riots" of spring 2008. I am interviewed for the segment. (As a general rule I tend to draw the line at radio, but I guess the times are a-changin'.)
While the confrontations have died down, interest in the Mexican emo phenomenon remains high, bringing the majority of new visitors to Intersections through searches and incoming links. In May, I wrote a lengthy in-depth piece on the topic in Spanish for Gatopardo, a vital venue for serious magazine journalism that is distributed across Latin America. I have a couple related pieces in print publications in the U.S. still coming up.
* My first post on the emo attacks is found here. Several posts follow in the archives and at LA Daily. (Post is edited.)
