Some followers of straight edge have also incorporated the symbol into clothing and pins. They also were baggy trousers, big shirts, could be they have a chain, big trainers like skaters, and a baggy top with a hood.

Gothic Lolitas


There is a gang in Buenos Aires called Gothic Lolitas. It’s just for girls.
It’s relative new and it’s not normal to see them. Girls who belong to this gang are very trendy and sexy but they are also innocent and sweet. They always wear black and white skirts with corsets or dresses set with petticoats. This dress is accompanied by accessories like loops, bags, books, parasols, rabbit ears and/or gloves.
Their clothes came from Japanese cartons called anime.
First people used to go disguised to meetings where people also liked manga and anime. In the actuality, gothic lolitas and other gangs are seen walking around by people every day.
It’s true that they listen to Japanese music, but like any other teenager, they also listen to different kinds of music, like international rock, pop or heavy metal.
They always meet at “plaza del pizzurno”. This is the park where a lot of gangs spend their time. Lolitas also meet at the coffee shop placed in “The bond street”. They can buy clothes there too.
Gothic lolitas are not a big gang, perhaps because the society doesn’t accept them at all. Anyway, I think they are nice and they deserve to have a place in this world.

This text talks about a subculture called Punks


Punk is a gang. They’re emerged from England in the ’70. They wear tight trousers, leather studded jackets and big leather boots. They wear steel earrings, chains, piercings and their hair is colourful and standed in spikes. They also usually decorate their jackets with “Anarchy” patches and buttons of different punk bands. They wear eyeliner too and they are an anti-fashion peer. They are harmless but most of the people try to don’t get so close to them because they look much different than the rest of the people and the rest of the other gangs.



Their principal music influence are bands like “The sex Pistols”, “The Ramones” and “The Clash”, this bands play punk rock and hardcore punk music. Their best songs are “Anarchy in the UK”, “God save the queen”, “Blitzkrieg Bop” and “Complete control”. Most of the punk songs talk about anarchy and a world with no political leaders.



Punks have no specifically activities but they use to hang around different places with other gang members, and most of the punks know how to play some instrument so they spend some of their free time playing them.
