i guess, but my parents and all my family are born in mexico, but narco corridos were never listened to by any of them. i feel i grew up with a very mexican upbringing, going to tijuana on a regular basis, etc., but i didnt learn about narco corridos until i heard other kids listen to it. i thought it was dumb but i dont consider myself any less mexican than them ( i spoke better spanish than them and probably knew about mexican society better than them because my mom and dad would always lace me on mexican culture and politics. they taught me on the corruption but it was funny cause they would always end up arguing bc my dads a priista and my mom a panista). my dad would also tell me alota stories about cartels, which is why i could never understand how ppl could make music making heroes of these guys. though the stories did sound kinda cool in a movie type way, those guys were, or are, nothing to be proud of
They are a huge part of history, Antonio Aguilar coulda been a teacher on the Mexican Revolution with all his corridos as the basis for the class. But you're right, a lot of people in Mexico don't like corridos and are into Rock or whatever the fuck else. It still doesn't take away from what the corridos represent and the fact that many Mexicans continue to listen to them.



"im not saying i disagree, but im curious why you say its so distinct"

It is distinct because each corrido is a true and SPECIFIC story, about REAL people and REAL events.

"its still giving exposure to something in a way that it shouldnt be given exposure. but yes, i agree artists should never be censored"

So artists who give exposure to corruptness and brutality that goes on in their society are wrong in your opinion? Or just Mexican ones who write and sing corridos?
