Ok, So Heres My Take On Hozier And His Band Wearing Catrn/Catrina Makeup (Im A Mexican Living In Mexico,

Ok, so here’s my take on Hozier and his band wearing Catrín/Catrina makeup (I’m a Mexican living in Mexico, so yeah, I can talk abou this, just in case anyone was wondering):

I’m not gonna lie. My first reaction was “oh, he looks so good, he’s beautiful,” etc. But a feeling of discomfort was still there. 

Here’s what he said about the painting at his concert:

I think he did it with respect and admiration, but… he could’ve done it better. He could’ve metioned Mexico explicitly, or Día de Muertos (I also think it was a mistake to do this on Halloween, ‘cause Día de Muertos isn’t Halloween’s equivalent or just a costume, it’s a culture and a tradition which is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd.) I’m not really mad at him, but I understand the anger and sadness of other Mexican fans. He could’ve done it better.

What REALLY bothers me is people saying “nice Halloween costume!,” ‘cause that’s sheer ignorance. I’m also bothered by people who say we’re “overreacting” or “it’s not that serious.” IT IS. As I said before, that’s OUR culture. It’s a big fucking deal to us. FUCK OFF if you’re saying shit like that.

I don’t think he’s gonna say something about this, but it’d be great if he ever does. He could use his plataforms to educate people, especially American ones (yeah, sorry but that’s the truth), and it really makes me sad to know that’s probably not gonna happen. 

Just saying but the negative aspects of capitalism is literally what is holding the world back from being sustainable. The only reason we don’t have safe drinking water, shelter, food, medicine, education, and clean energy for every person on this earth is because it wouldn’t be profitable for the 0.1% of the world’s population whose entire income is based solely around limiting those resources for lower class and impoverished people.

A traditional cultural garment expresses an identity through clothing, which is usually associated with a geographic area or a period of time in history. It can also indicate social, marital or religious status. The clothing is used to represent the culture or identity of a specific ethnic group, it is also known as ethnic dress, ethnic wear, ethnic clothing, traditional ethnic wear or traditional ethnic garment. Such clothing often come in two forms: one for everyday occasions, the other for traditional festivals and/or formal wear.

The catrina is a traditional cultural garment. Its culture. It's not a costume. Its traditional clothing wore in a traditional festival/holiday that's associated with a period of time and a political and social denunciation of hypocrisy.

Its not worn everyday because it's a festival traditional garment and thats the whole fucking point.

Vogue Mexico has featured a third-gender cover star for the first time. The magazine is believed to be the first in Vogue’s 120-year history to feature a ‘muxe’ model.

‘Muxes’ have been regarded as a third gender in Mexican culture for centuries. They are particular to the Zapotec community.
