Emo music to be made illegal in Russia

  Quote

A BIZARRE new Russian law hopes to make emo and goth music illegal in the eastern European country.

It could signal the end of heavy eyeliner and black nail polish for the kids who love to bop about to the likes of MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and THURSDAY.

 

Legislation is currenting being drawn to regulate websites and ban emo and goth fashion in schools and government buildings.

 

The new laws are being driven by overprotective fears the "dangerous teen trend" encourages depression and suicide.

 

Critics have slammed the musical genre as a negative culture encouraging anti-social behaviour and glorifiying suicide.

 

The weekend saw mass protests by Russian emo kids.

 

DMITRY GILEVICH of Russian emo band MAIO said: "Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law."

lol the sun

I lol'd at the title before I even opened the Thread.

Please, for the love of god, post pictures of that protest.

Didn't Emo start some riots in Mexico too? Am I missing something about it? In the states it's just a bunch of harmless little teens styling their hair and putting on makeup.

supa lol

Aren't they committing suicide because they live in Russia, not because of the music?

Help me out here

I would imagine that Russian emos are at least 75% more emo than regular emos
