Tianguis Cultural del Chopo

The Tianguis Cultural del Chopo is a Saturday flea market near downtown Mexico City, known locally as El Chopo. It is named after its original location which was near the Museo Universitario del Chopo, an Art Nouveau building with a couple of towers designed by Bruno Möhring. Depending on the affiliation one has with this event, it has been referred to as "The Punk Market", "The Metal Market", or "The Goth Market". Since the end of the 1980s, the Tianguis del Chopo has been located close to Metro Buenavista station on Aldama street, in the Colonia Guerrero neighborhood.

Originally, the Tianguis was a place for hippies to trade 1960s memorabilia including not only records but also clothing, magazines, books and other collectibles. Over time the Tianguis became a countercultural hub, becoming a meeting place for followers of different musical genres like metal, goth, punk, grunge and ska, among others.
