Thai's Adoption of the Mexican Gansters


Now is time to talk about Thai Mexican Gangsters. Exactly, something like that exist and is basically just a harmless group of people, most of them have stable jobs, who likes the looks of Mexican gangsters so they so they adopted the style. 
It's easy to call this trend an example of "Cultural Appropriation". But what is exactly that concept about? Well, it means that a certain group of people adopt elements ore practices from another culture or sub-culture, something similar to the "Goth Lolita" popular trend on japan that likes to borrow the aesthetic of British dolls.
In this case it’s pretty clear it’s just the imitation of the look because this group of people doesn’t have the kind of background that actual Mexican gangsters have, like selling drugs or making a living in a violent environment. In fact, they don’t even know that much about Mexicans and their culture. The whole thing it’s about something more superficial and maybe even a little naïve. These Thais like to hang around people with similar interests and are happy to find friendships among them. They use the rap to write original songs that talk about their opinions of the government and society, something very positive if we start thinking about how often can Thais do really give their opinion
