Hello everyone! My name is Lenin Torres and I am 21 years old. I was born and raised in Santa Ana, California. This is my 4th year at CSUDH and my major is Chicano Studies. I want to get involved in some sort of activism after I graduate. I believe that as a Chicano I need to do my part and help out my community. 

While I enjoy Chicano Studies, there are two things I am very passionate about. One of these is music. I am a huge music fan. I don’t think I would be able to live with out music. I listen to all kinds of music but my two favorites are hip hop and punk. These two are my favorite because of the raw energy that they present. The other thing I am very passionate about is wrestling. I have been a fan since I was a kid. I enjoy the way that wrestling presents a unique way of story telling through athleticism.

I  am very excited to be in this class because I believe it will provide me with new knowledge. Hope everyone has a great semester!

  1. Hey Lenin
    I find your choice of music interesting, Hip Hop is one of my favorite genres as well. I never listened to punk to depict the messages that they address. Hip Hop emerges during a period of time when African-Americans and other people of color used as an outlet to speak about the oppression they faced within their communities. Like you said it is a raw energy, do punk songs have similar discussions? Both Hip Hop and Punk emerged during the 1970s so it would be interesting to see if they were talking about the same issues but in different cultural areas.

    I use to watch WWF with my brother growing up and we would make a “ring” and bust some moves. The good ol 90s wrestling….
