This is something that has been bothering me for a while as a Mexican American. Everywhere i got i feel like my people only seem to have one image of Mexico. I'm not sure if this is an acccurate representation of actual Mexico or a product of shallow marketing in America when it comes to Mexico. I mean, i don't listen to latin music anymore but every couple months i check out whats new on stations here in the us and it seems like nothing has changed. still reggateton, banda, mariachi, bachata, etc. It's like our culture never changes and it kinda dissapoints me. It's like our culture is run by old people who won't let young people add to it. Same thing with tv. God help me if i have to watch another novela that ends in a happy marrriage after defeating the shitty rich person again.
Actually thinking about it a thread discussing how people view their own culture when it's filtered for them because they dont live in the country their culture comes from might be interesting. I'll leave that to someone more qualified than me though.
