In the text, the drug traffickers are thought of as heroes because they start from humble beginnings and become wealthy. How is this different than the American Dream? Yes, it manifests itself in negative addition to a community, but the idea of being just as likely as anyone else to become wealthy is essentially the same. Is this want an indication of a new movement for better living and equality in the Mexican population?
I was also confused if the text was saying that the narcocorridos are so popular because they so closely resemble regular corridos which are popular, or if they are popular because of their "street" origins which makes them edgier and more appealing?
