You have heard that word, but most of you don't have any idea what it is or the meaning. Don't worry, I'll tell you. Mangueras in English is *hose* bit it's actually not something, its people (I mean, like emos, skaters, punks, fresas etc.) Everyone is different though, so mangueras are not emos.Mangueras are teenagers from Mexico, mostly are from Tijuana and between 12-26 years old (most are boys). They always wear clothes that cost a lot of money (not a lot but like 34 dollars for a t-shirt and 60 dollars for a hoodie) and brand name clothes like: Aeropostale, American Eagle, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, Ed Hardy, Burberry, Coach, Lacoste, and True Religion.
The other thing about mangueras is that they are such showoffs that they also have a Nextel phone in their True Religion. The other thing that you guys can't endure is: they heard narco-corridos. NAWRCO WHAT? Don't worry--I'll tell you in the next paragraph.
Narco-corrido is a kind of music from the state of Sinaloa in Mexico (that includes Culiacan), and it is kind of country music but the people who sing the songs (Gerardo Ortiz, Larry Hernandez, Roberto Tapia, Nuevo Legado, Jorge Santa Cruz and others) wrote songs with too much violence, like "I'm gonna kill" and "my cuerno de chivo" so that makes the teenagers from Tijuana do things like get drugs, drink whiskey (Buchannan's) or even get into the narcotrafic stuff.
Most of the subjects that of the narco-corrido songs are people from narcotrafic like: El Teo, El Chapo, La Perra, El Muletas, Los Zetas, El Mayo, El Pozolero, Los Arellano Felix, Los Beltran Leyva, La Barbie, and some of their workers. Now the thing is: why do teenagers follow these songs and clothes from the Mexican narcotrafic? Now the violence in Mexico is affecting thousands of them and their future. Now parents have to do something if they don't want to see their kids in trouble with the law.
OH yeah I forgot....they wear piercings, mostly in their mouth and they wear a moja (a kind of style of hair like goku).
I didn't know anything about this until I read Naomi's great blog post. Thanks!
