Two examples of Subcultures in Mexico

Muxes

Muxes represent sexual and gender diversity. They are male people who claim to belong to a third gender other than male and female. In the Zapotec region of the istmo of Tehuantepec, the presence of 3 thousand muxes is estimated. Today muxes tend to form relationships with other men, stable long-term relationships are not very common, and it is extremely rare for them to form relationships with women. In a traditional family, muxe is still considered by his mother to be "the best of his children" as the muxe son never abandons parents at difficult times in life: old age and disease. Muxes wear colorful, self-embroidered clothing. On the other hand, muxes tend to be devoted to domestic activities, embroidery of traditional costumes, stylists, making handicrafts and preparing traditional festivities. Finally, the muxes practice the Catholic religion and participate in the decoration of the churches.

Charros

The Charra culture is very popular and closely related to the culture of Mexicans to the point of stereotyping the dominant culture. It is a kind of life that relates men and women around the practice of charreria, which consists of presenting a series of skills in relation to horses. Men and women wear traditional costumes, very striking dresses in women, or also called “Escaramuzas charras” and mariachi suits in men. These people tend to dedicate themselves professionally to this activity that is left generation by generation and in Mexico is considered cultural heritage.

An example of Tribu in Mexico.

Cholombianos

The Cholombianos are an urban tribe in the state capital of Nuevo León, northern Mexico. The name Cholombianos is due to a special link with Colombia and the USA. Thus, the fondness for cumbia, which became popular in certain areas of Monterrey in the late 1960 decade and the influence of the "cholos" arrived from the U.S. allowed the origin of this urban tribe. Cholombians identify themselves as "tropicalized punks", who have ended up developing a truly unique style through their hairstyles, clothes and accessories, such as their scaparies. These scaparies serve to announce their name and the name of the group they belong to, so that the "sonideros" can greet them during the concerts of "Northern cumbia" that they usually attend.
