The night of April 11, the Palenque de la Feria del Caballo in Texcoco became a scene of chaos and violence.
Everything began when the singer Luis R. Conríquez refused to perform corridos bélicos during his performance. This decision provoked the anger of a part of the audience who, unable to contain their frustration, began to destroy furniture, instruments, and sound equipment.
The events were recorded in multiple videos shared on social media. In them, it is seen how dozens of attendees throw objects, kick the stage, and damage the venue's infrastructure.
The normalization of violence in popular culture
This type of reaction highlights the deep cultural decay that part of our society is experiencing. The fanaticism for the so-called narcocorridos—which glorify violence, organized crime, and drug use—has crossed the limits of what is tolerable.
That a part of the audience responds with vandalism to an artist's refusal to meet such demands reflects a concerning loss of values.
