Whats with Armos and the Hip-Hop Culture??

[Shangh_Hye]

In my recent visit to Glendale I was seriously shocked at the kinds of Armenians I met and the way they present themselves. First of all, Glendale is the only city that I have ever been to that I could easily mistake a younger Armenian for a Mexican because of the way they dress and act. Second, If I used to think that white-trash eminem wannabes were the one that most imitated blacks, I was wrong, Armos in Glendale take the cake! I was seriously ashamed at the level they place them selves in, a level they dont even belong in, Glendale is NOT the Ghetto and none of those "West-siiiide" flippin Hye's are gansters. I am of cource talking about the younger generation, teens/20's when I say this. Beeing an immigrant or even a refugee DOES NOT automaticaly make you the poor victim of society, you dont have to take a offensive "xxxx you..its me against the world" approach and try to come off as hardcore-looking. <<< Assimilation at its worst... :x

can I ask where you're from..
and can you please not generalize... as if there is no armos like that in north hollywood or Van Nuys or freakin San Jose or even the east coast?

Actually Jahannam his generalization is correct. While I do contest that not ALL armos in gdale are thug like wannabes, most are. To not notice that, is simply denial. I live in Glendale so can confirm his generalization. I also attend school right by San Jose, and NO the armos there are not like they are in Glendale. There is not a thug like persona at all. I have family in the east coast and I travel back there a lot. I chilled with the ACYO there for new years eve and I am going there this summer. There is not really that thug impression given off by the armos there either. In Hollywood, I believe after being in Armenia, are the truest reflection of our people. They are very chill. The Armos in the Valley for the most part seem more integrated into the America, and more willing to work with the world rather than against it.

Amen.

P.S. some of them even came and posted on these forums, advertising Armenian rappers. Scroll back to the older threads and you'll see a guy by the name of FittyPercent.

Hey dingleberry dumpling, you think your opinion here matters?

I can say that I do not live in any of the areas you mentioned...I have been to all of them and many other place in the US and have found out that it is not necessarily the locations but the "type" of Armenian that lives there...and the one that are alike tend to group together...many of the ones I have seen in Glendale seem to be of same catergory...from rural Armenia...not of the city...
