who told you this lie?
the ramones came only once to mexico city in 1993 or 94, they played a fucking closet and if i tell you that 70 persons saw them, it's probably an overestimation; seriously, there was probably 100 kids in all. i remember not going because i thought the ramones were too cutesy and very gutless plus i was like 12 and i was not going to go to a really shitty part of the city to see a corny band.
i assure you, nobody saw the ramones when they came, all the hipster who love them now, all the "punk" bands who list them as influence, none of them saw the ramones. their fans were the
albaņiles, construction workers who were their shirts and spend their weekends sniffing glue and going to urban rock shows. these are the hardcore people.
seriously rob, you're thinking argentina, they played their last show ever there in a stadium.
i know a few punks here, i know a bunch of metalheads here, and they are as pussy as the emos. some punks do squat and are all crusty and shit, but most of them are just doing it for the fashion, metalheads are pretty much dumb and one-dimensional, a great chunk of them are quite nice guys having fun watching bands and headbanging. i've been to tons of metal shows wearing non-metal bands' shirts and no one has ever given me shit, gone to shows with short hair and no one minding...i remember one time some people were complaining that some asshole was drunk to the point of crying and started to piss all over the people in the mosh pit, and they just threw him out of the pit.
funny thing, i heard it was the punks and the goths kicking the junior high emos' asses.
this is just very stupid and blown out of proportion...in fact 90% of the mexican population don't know what emo is and that includes the emos.
