I hate this f**king kind of music, it's always embraced with drugs, traffic, mafia, crime and so on, even if there is nothing in the lyrics. Also the music is every time more retrograd and nosense, f**king void. Yes I'm mexican but this doesn't mean that I must worship this culture when it's so twisted and doesn't evolve in anything. Excuse me but I can't stand it.

As much as you sound as a hateful teen, I agree with you. This type of music is one of the few things I hate with passion. The lyrics are usually retrograde and full of crap; they usually teach kids things related to narcoculture, 20s-worthy disrespect for women, and other ancient anti-values. As a Mexican, I'm sorry to say this, but this type of music only appeals to the non-educated, which is a great amount of people in this country, and the vast majority of Mexican immigrants in the US, hence its popularity.
