Ace: Mexico is hella dangerous now a days but you still will be 99.9% of the time A ok Esp in DF. Just don't walk around scared looking, don't follow people to do a bump in a dark alley, if some girl approaches you too soon and asks too quickly to go home with you she is either a prostitute or she has her boys outside waiting to mug you. Take your drink with you wherever you go don't leave it with strangers. Stay in the nicer areas around educated Mexicans and you will have a great time.
None of the above is likely to happen but all of it could and does happen at times. Mexico is wild.
Cool thing is that Mexico City is one of the largest cities on the planet. I haven't been but my friends came back with pics and stories and you can pretty much indulge yourself in any scene imaginable down there without danger just as long as you stay in decent areas. There is a good sized upper class population there who run the gamet of tailored suit top notch, to indie rock/punk club kids to the downright cowboy mexican party scene. All of them were educated and classy folks that just embrased some sort of style. That is of course in direct contrast to lets say Tijuana the punk/indie kids are just street rat glue sniffers, the cowboys are probably real cowboys and the guys in nice suits are probably drug dealers.
