Subcultures: Bangkok´s "Mexican gangsters"

 The "Mexican gangsters" has a style of life that some young people in Bangkok have adopted.
The members of the group said that they feels identify with the way of wearing of Mexicans gangsters and how they look to the society. This is a culture introduced to Bangkok influenced by the media according the members of the gang said, the rap music and the Mexican gangsters inspired them to adopt that kind of style which they also said is comfortable and it allow them to have a group of friends.
this is a good example of the influence of the communication or globalization  in this age can  create a new group or subculture in a conservative country where this kind of style is weird for the people.In my opinion is good if they want to live of that way because it is some which they feel identify, although they appearance can be intimidating for other people and the music of them are rude and violent ,they don´t want to do the bad they and violent things that the Mexican group because it is only a social group.
This group can fix in the Bangkok society if they keep their behavior avoid the bad influences of the Mexican groups and over the time the society can accustom to the group and live together.

    It is true that the thai people copy this mexican gang style becuase they feel indentificated with them and also help them making friends but for me this is not something that should be copied becuase is a bad example of latin culture also it it a matter of time before someone try to copy the whole thing with the violence and killing
