Yidomatt, if you are still around i feel i have to warn you! If you ever plan on visiting the Eastern European country that is Russia I would think again. They are thinking about banning EMO.

Quote:
Legislation is currenting being formulated in Russia to heavily regulate emo websites and ban emo and goth dress style in schools and government buildings.

The new laws are apparently being driven by fears that these "dangerous teen trends" encourage depression and suicide.

The legislation was presented last month at a hearing held by the State Durma, where critics claimed that the "negative" emo culture encourages anti-social behaviour and glorifies suicide.

Emo kids were described as teenagers who wear black, have facial piercings and black hair with fringes that "cover half the face", reports The Guardian

The weekend saw mass protests by Russian emo kids.

In Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, where laws are already being implemented, protestors in a march held signs saying "A Totalitarian State Encourages Stupidity".

Dmitry Gilevich of Russian emo band MAIO stepped in backing the protests, saying: "Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law."

However, emo critics remain unconvinced.

Alexander Grishunin, an adviser to bill sponsor Yevgeny Yuryev, described a ban as necessary, stating: "This is the first step in the public discourse."

The moves in Russia follow criticism of the genre in the UK earlier this year, which saw My Chemical Romance fans protesting at the offices of British newspaper The Daily Mail over their coverage which linked emo with suicide.


Laughing What do you make of this radical move by the Russian government? Is this another example of governments trying to control people even further or do you think they have a point and that emo kids are ruining the whole world as we know it?
I know this will greatly affect a few members on here so feel it is only right that it is mentioned. Do not shoot the messanger.

I think it's stupid really. But they do have a point since Russians already have enough suicidal writers as it is.

Either way i still hate emo's.

If there is an obvious link between Emu's and whatever is causing harm, then that is fine. But why stop at that?

Emu's? Those are extinct aren't they Razz

Get emo's all over - irritating really ... they seem to stand around and compete to see who can look the most depressed - and thinking its cool or something - I can't figure how their minds work. I see a group and my palm starts itching.

But with this being mentioned Laughing the emo image and Russia seem to go together (no offence to any russians on the forum - I'm not saying all of russia is emo) - dunno why.

they should just leave them be.

if they all commit suicide the world will be a better place.

they are clearly not in a sensible state of mind.

they also fail to see how funny it is that the are all 'non-conformists' and 'unique' while all dressing the same, looking the same, liking the same stuff and doing the same things.

morons the lot of them

Like Beef but much sweeter. Tasty, until I went Auzzie Zoo the next day and looked one in the eye.

Agreed, particularly the last part it's hilarious how hypocritical it appears to be in that sense.

Even the hot weather we experience all year round has not deterred the "culture" from spreading into Singapore. I don't know whether to laugh or pity a person decked all out in black tight jeans and black clothing with a thick layer of make up on the face with the afternoon midday sun in its full glory.
