While there are big pockets of support for Latin alternative sounds, notably in California, they aren't enough to push the music from niche to mass acceptance.

Unlike the United States, where rock “grew from working-class African-American rhythm and blues and gradually moved up the social scale,” Pacini Hernandez said, in Latin America, the “elite” youth from the upper and middle classes were often the first to embrace rock “as a sign of cosmopolitan modernity.
