Emo to be made illegal in Russia?

A new Russian law could make being an emo kid illegal in the eastern European country.

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.


I wonder if they cried at their protest rally.

    In fairness i dont like Emo's i dont like their style, personalitys or the majority of their music, however this is ridiculous how can you even consider banning a genre its like something out of a really far fetched film. Also if anything by giving Emo this attention its only going to increase the 'problem'. Well done Russia for your giant leap into dictatorship.
