The Bangkok's Mexican gangsters

The Bangkok's Mexican gangsters group is a kind of subculture that have taken the main aesthetics characteristics of the Original Mexican Gangsters culture. I emphasize that is basically an aesthetic subculture, because they only imitate the superficial characteristics of Mexican gangsters, which are the type of clothes, music, style, tattoos, headgears, shoes and also the treatment between them. As you can see when you enter the following link They don't names themselves as Mexican gangsters, they are the Bangkok's Mexican gangsters. 

A big difference between the original group and them is that the Bangkok's Mexican Gangsters avoid the Violence, 'el machismo' and the lack of respect in the society. I think that this type of subculture is acceptable because they Respect the original culture but change these aspects that the society considers bad. If the Bangkok's Mexican gangsters criticizes constantly the Mexican culture it couldn't be acceptable from Mexicans gangsters.


By all these factors, BMG is an example of cultural appropriation of Mexican Gangsters subculture, with a little impact in the Mexican Gangsters subculture, they don't change the main factors that belongs to the Mexican gangsters culture. Thanks to this short introduction of the Bangkok's Mexican Gangsters, it is nottable that they respect the original culture, every country, city or specific location around the world have its own culture, so we must respect the foreign culture.
