In began really in the 90s where Latinos (mexicans preferably) dressed-up as Rebels. Listened to Morrissey, Depeche Mode and The Cure. As well as Deep house, Rock-en-espanol. The style consisted of both the Greaser style with a little GQ influenced. Overall GREAT parties, great style and great people. Many of them became successful people afterwards. And this is why many still follow Morrissey because he gave us LIFE.

@Djmemez This is so true! I remember growing up in San Fernando and two of our next door neighbors were major rockabillys. I remember going to our neighbors house to play with their little sister and you could always hear either "Suedehead" or "Boys Don't Cry" blasting out of their room. I used to crush on them so hard because they had the most beautiful pompadours I had ever seen and would always make me blush when they would sing the lyrics to me. Those were beautiful memories. :)

I love it. I'm Anglo with about 55 million in laws in Texico, where the sight of somebody's sexy mom in a Smiths tshirt, lovely smile and finely made up, knows three more Amerenglish words to my zero Westam espanol but can sing

" On a hillside de so late" utterly lovely, when crafty capital = Moz meets love unsolicited, therefore SHOCKING = Latino MOZLUST. I mean wow oh wow

@RAMSEY1987 The first guy says that " His songs are very emotional as latinos are, emotional. There is a song for each moment of everyone's life. The second guy says that it reminds him of Raphael ( a very famous spaniard singer) for the way he dresses, very elegant. The third guy says that he grew up in the ghetto and he knew many gang members. he says that instead of being with his gang friends he stayed at his house listening to morrissey's music and stayed away from gangs.
