Ranchera Mindset 🤠
The Confederate flag is soul sisters with the Mexican flag and their fight for independence. The Grito has a lot more in common with the Rebel Yell.
**Definition:
• Ranchera: is a traditional genre of Mexican music that draws its name from the ranches (ranchos) where it originated.
In short, it is the "country music" of Mexico—soulful, dramatic, and deeply rooted in the rural experience.
• Grito: The Musical Grito,"A high-pitched, melodic yell used in genres like Ranchera and Mariachi. It isn't just a random scream; it has a specific rhythm, often starting with a long ""Ayyyy!"" followed by a trill or ""laughter"" sound." The Civic Grito,"Short for El Grito de Dolores. This is the historical ""cry for independence."" Every year, it refers to the patriotic shout that marks the beginning of Mexican Independence Day celebrations."
There is nothing new under the sun. Even the most iconic LARPs are borrowed and interlinked. ‘Cult’ure and heathen-pagan-heel subculture is a process of defining and maintaining identity. Friend-enemy distinguishing. In America the Hamiltonian industrial aristocracy-oligarchy was defined by the binary bipartisaninship of the Republican-Democrat confederacy of Thomas Jefferson.
Even if the colonial Friend is different for each: Spain in the case of Mexico, The North in the case of the South. They are spiritual siblings in their self asserting hatred of their perceived oppressors.
** Further Reading and Listening:
This is theory's acute dilemma: that desire expresses itself most fully where only those absorbed in its delights and torments are present, that it triumphs most completely over other buman preoccupations in places sheltered from view. Thus it is paradoxically in hiding that the secrets of destre come to light, that hegemonic impositions and their reversals, evasions; and subversions are at their most bonest and active, and that the identities and disjunctunes between felt passion and establisbed culture place themselzes on most vid display. -Joan Cocks on Bell Hooks Essay: Eating the Other 🔗 https://sites.evergreen.edu/comalt/wp-content/uploads/sites/253/2016/11/eating-the-other.pdf
