CDMX: The Black Archive

Forget the bright colors and tourist traps. From hidden basement boutiques in Roma to high-fashion occultism in the Historic Center, this route hits the spots where subculture is still alive. It’s a mix of industrial hardware, Victorian lace, and early 2000s rave gear for those who only wear black.

Mexico - Mexico City

Tianguis Cultural del Chopo

By @KevinLopez

SUMMARY: Declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mexico City in 2023, El Chopo is the historic epicenter of Mexican counterculture. Born in 1980 as a record exchange, it has evolved into a massive Saturday-only street market dedicated to rock, punk, metal, goth, and everything in between. It is the city's premier meeting point for "urban tribes" and alternative music lovers.

Address: C. Juan Aldama, Buenavista, Cuauhtémoc, 06350 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
