  1. Can someone explain this to me? I’d only learnt about narcocorridos in a video game of all places (Ghost Recon : Wildlands) and thought its popularity was exaggerated for entertainment’s sake.

    Given the scale of drug crime in Mexico, how can songs glorifying the cartels be so popular? Is it just youth contrarianism? (i.e. “our parents told us to stop listening to it, so we’ll never stop!”)
