Punks, Skaters, Goths and Reggae heads unite at El Chopo



This year in Mexico marks the 200th anniversary of the country's independence and the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. Although those are very important dates, another anniversary not to be overlooked is the 30th anniversary of the Tiangis Cultural del Chopo. Every Saturday the youth of the city, punks, skaters, goths, metal heads, reggae heads and vinyl collectors, gather at el Chopo. El chopo is a market place filled with all kinds of things such as: boots, belts with spikes, skate boards, CDs and Records. There is also a stage where local bands perform. If you ever find yourself in D.F. it is definitely a fun place to check out. Its awesome to see all of the youth decked out in their punker or goth gear complete with piercings and mohawks.
