OMG

Emo and goth to be made illegal in Russia

The Russian government is in the process of drafting a law to make emo and goth music illegal.

Last month a parliamentary committee was convened to discuss a draft proposal of the Russian government's Government Strategy In The Sphere Of Spiritual And Ethical Education bill, the details of which were leaked to The Moscow Times. The newspaper subsequently reported that, among other things, the draft bill dubbed the musical movements a "dangerous teen trend" and called for emo and goth websites to be regulated and young people dressing like emos or goths to be banned from entering schools and government buildings.

The newspaper interviewed one of the bill's authors, Igor Ponkin from the Russian Interior Ministry's Public Oversight Council. Ponkin called emo a "social danger" and "a threat to national stability" and said the bill is a reaction to teen suicides such as the tragic death of British teenager Hannah Bond.

"This type of behaviour is a crucial part of emo ideology," said Ponkin. "Of course there are emo teens who just listen to their music. But our actions are not directed at them but rather at those who also hurt themselves, commit suicide and promote those acts."

The Moscow Times also interviewed psychologist Inna Cherkova who said:

"Suicide is not a symptom of emo culture. I work with other teens too, and every group has emotionally troubled kids."

However, the bill is expected to become law in Russia before the end of the year.

oh yea i saw that yesterday... thats some fucked up shit right there

and a nice big pic of mcr was beside it

Erin is not happy

Hell yes that it

lol I did a speech on stereotypes... mainly focusing on emo stereotypes with the Daily mail and MCR

"This type of behaviour is a crucial part of emo ideology," said Ponkin. "Of course there are emo teens who just listen to their music. But our actions are not directed at them but rather at those who also hurt themselves, commit suicide and promote those acts."

A guy at my school committed suicide early this year, he was a friend of a friend. He was never considered emo, far from it.
grrrr its not fair how they just pin point people who look 'emo' or 'goth' but also there are others who also commit suicide and harm themselves but never dressed or look that Way, may not even listen to the same music!!

lol one of those subjects I just get all in a huff and puff about

fucking baffoons

lol

FUCK THE DAILY MAIL Baffoons!

and the daily mail... and the chch postal service... theyre all just a big lot of baffoons!

I agree
i hate the whole stereotyping of 'emo's'
Everyone at my school calls me emo and like last year i got sick of it and just embraced it. This year we get Year 13 hoddies with whatever we want printed on the back of them (as long as it's 10 characters or less), mine says 'Emo Kid'

lol!
whats really kinda fucked up is that i used to get called emo more when i had blonde hair and didnt wear skinny jeans... its like wtf

hahaha awesome! (the hoodie btw lol not the whole people calling you emo !)

I saw a yr 13 guy at our school, his leavers hood said:

Hornibro

lol

I was like wtf?
apparantly in the year book last year they spelt his name wrong,
instead of Hornibrooke
it was Hornibro

Wow that's weird
Auctually thinking about it i fit half of the stereotypes put to emo

really?

oh i read the comments left after the article on Kerrang!
apparantly its fake...

Russia wouldn't actually do that...

some people saying they're from Russia and have heard nothing from this or The Moscow Times..

wow im confused!

i really doubt the thing about russia, just cause its so ridiculous. but if its true- ARGH!!! i hate emo. everything to do with it. its so stupid because what it really means is nothing to do with long fringes/black skinny jeans etc and it always causes me to rant so ima end there.

famous living dead- what school do you go to?

EMO does mean nothing nowdays....
its just stupid!

exactly.

lol all the 'normal' people call me emo, and all the emos and scene kids at my school call me wemo.
It's like "wtf? Why would I want to be emo?!"
I think the whole thing is pathetic.

Oh! And a googlebot is something that finds web pages and puts them on google.
This explains it.

lol my mates were reading the College Herald today, lol someone wrote this article on how emos get such a hard time....OMFG so ridiculous!
honestly, yeah people kinda use emo as an insult now, and they say emo is supposed to be a Way of being "Unique". But from what I've seen its just like a fashion trend, everyone's following the same kinda styles, where what looks like such similar clothes. I don't know, stereotypes and labels suck.
lol my sis atm is trying to be gansta! oh god....
shes 13!

yo.... no hatin', chu just trinna catch me ridin' durrrrrdie
WORD

LMFAO

I go up to my friends at lunch and i'm like "What's up my hommie G's?" they just turn to me and say "If you speak black again i'm going to beat you", it's funny as, they all lov eme though...
