straight to the point i guess

[Pirate Utopian]

Even though emo is cringelike bad, if this is true it's really fucked up.

[atlanticche]

i kind like the music though not the trend but still making it illegal is a bit far

[Psy]

I never got the whole emo and goth thing, but I don't see the point in banning it.

You would think the Russians would be more concerned about the huge waves of violent Nazis that are emerging:confused:

Speaking of that, I would think they would ban Neo-Nazi bands first.

[Red October]

Emo is fucking awful, but this kind of law needs to be fought, not just so emo kids are free to be how they want to be, but because it can also extend to everyone else.

:crying: illegal :crying:

I'm going to cut myself

From the article:
Alexander Grishunin, an adviser to bill sponsor Yevgeny Yuryev, described a ban as necessary, stating: "This is the first step in the public discourse." Banning it is the first step in public discussion? How very Russian :lol:.

[Red_or_Dead]

So... Im the only one who thinks that they should be thrown into a gulag with nothing but razor blades? Nevermind...


Seriously tho, this is ridiculous.

You guys are killing me. I kinda like the new emo scene. Yeah there are some that did that whole "kill me thing" but whatever. The music is pretty good and actually were I live the newer emo kids dress alot different than other emo scenes I have seen over time. They actually are more like skaters and over all that scene is changing.

Anyways I think they get the short end of the stick on alot of levels. Wether they get flack for being "homosexuals" or not "masculine" enough or well like we just saw with the razor blade remarks.

Still though this is lame on the part of Russia. And honestly I have a ton of more respect for alot of the emo scene these days than alot of other subcultures.

Maybe if it's forced underground, emo music and culture will become more interesting?:D

Well after seeing pictures of some of the users here I hardly think they should be worrying about the emo scene:p:lol:

and there is some good music as well if you look around. I know it's not cool and all , you're friends might see you....

[Bilan]

I like some emo...Jawbreaker are wicked.

[Dr Mindbender]

how the fuck can you ban a subculture anyway?

How on earth are they going to enforce this? :confused:

[Trystan]

It shouldn't be banned, but emo sucks. It sucks . It sucks. It sucks on satan's cock all day as if heroin were being shot out of it.

[The Feral Underclass]

I support state action against goths.

[Hit The North]

I support emo action against the Russian state.

[JazzRemington]

I support...erm, I don't know what I support :bored:

:lol: errrr :blushing:

[RHIZOMES]

I'm gaining a lot of respect for emos now, with all the shit they put up with.

[Module]

This is ridiculous.
There have always been kids who've dressed 'outlandishly'. It's more about liking the style because you think it looks cool rather than being depressed or anything.
If there is a reason that emo kids are more prone to depression maybe it's because they feel a.) alienated from the mainstream culture to the extent they would adopt a fringe (NO PUN INTENDED! HAH!) subculture (that kind of thing would make people in that situation feel a lot better, if anything) and so banning a certain kind because you think it looks creepy is absolutely pointless, or b.) because they cop so much shit for dressing how they like?

Kids that are depressed will be depressed no matter what they look like (especially if they're forced to stop dressing how they want) and I highly doubt that the emo subculture either contains more people who are depressed or encourages depression!

... On another note;

Heather Bond criticised emo fashion, saying: "There are 'emo' websites that show pink teddies hanging themselves." :lol:

On the upside, this will give them the opportunity to get some really cool and authentic Russian prison tattoos.

[jaffe]

:laugh::laugh:

[Lector Malibu]

I have lots of tattoos ....

[Sasha]

without (the very tempting) kidding, you know how we call this kind of reasoning here in amsterdam? "van basketballen word je langer" (from playing basketball you'll become taller)
:rolleyes: didnt the khmer rouge have this kind of arguments for killing off people with glasses?

[communard resolution]

Seriously, though: it's pathetic what the Russian government seems to consider an important issue.

May I redirect your attention to this thread and ask for your input?
