    Wow. Yeah, that wouldn’t be the most fun thing to watch.

    And yeah, the horns get a bit much. Ranchera is the genre I was thinking of and it’s primarily a Norteño thing, which makes sense, because most of the neighbourhood was Norteño. I try not to judge people by their culture, but of all the world’s music you could have adopted as your own, you not only chose polka, but you slowed it way down and added lyrics?!

    But then, as more than one Mexican friend has told me, “those are our rednecks.”

    Find it hard to disagree:

    That’s not some one-off, that’s a thing they wear and are into. And they try to go all-out with it. No offence meant but that’s like super rednecky.

    Now I’m going to have to listen to Los Incas as a palate cleanser.

    Edit: from what I’m reading, the horns can be put down to Pancho Villa loving march music.
