So, are they really going to try to ban emo?

sweet. but maybe a little late...i think all emo's should just kill themselves right now.Adonymous

You're probably a little more twisted than the "emo's" themselves, well with that statement.

Look, it's okay to kill others, just don't kill yourself. :roll:

Hmmm, do they think oppressing any person's chosen identity will make them LESS likely to off themselves?

I mean, if it were me, and my country was making legislative efforts to wipe out a style I felt an affinity for, that might just make me a little more likely to end it all. I don't think persecuting someone is the antidote to his or her suicide.

Or perhaps are they trying to inspire righteous indignation? Give 'em something to live/fight for? Defending the emo way, as it were? Depression IS just anger without enthusiasm.

Dear God I hope so. That hole "nobody understands me because I'm so unique" trend is really starting to grow old.Zoso-8

Amen. Same with gangsters, preps, goths, scene kids, hipsters and all those other subcultures that are getting old. Freedom of expression FTL.

Goths are fine, but the others can go.

Noes! I don't want ot shop at Burtons and Next :cry:

That's a compliment to Emo ... for a music genre devoid of any power or honesty ... :P

Why Goths? They're culture is far better than the stupid childish cult emo kids.tzar3

yes. i'm a goth and i couldn't agree more.

Well, guess it's time to move to Russia. jaydough

Comes to mind.

I mean people are saying if you went to Russia (say it got put in place) and you looked emo. How can you look emo? I have had idea to be honest until all you hear recently is kids killing themselves and blaming My Chemical Romance I thought the whole emo trend had gone away. Its just a fad that will die off along with everything else, just this one seems to be kicking about a lot longer than anything else.InsultToInjury_

Well, by even talking about a ban, these people have inadvertantly given emo just a tad more credibility. If they wanted it to go away, their best bet would have been to ignore it. Now tons of little russian kids are going to flock to emo as a way of "sticking it to the man."

Sorry, goths are different and therefore scary. They've gotta go too. The government must not rest until everyone is a carbon copy of their peers.

Haha. @rb2610-What makes "goths" "fine", but not other trends? I mean technically speaking didn't goth and emotional hardcore emerge during the same 80s era? I don't know.

I doubt that they will carry through with this but it's an awful idea regardless. People in power won't really be able to distinguish between "emos", goths, metalheads or basically any teenager with long black hair and a "different" style of dress. Most of the people in this thread who support this would likely be denied access to government-run buildings as well, so think before you pass judgement.

I'm not a fan of either "culture" but people should be allowed to dress how they want and listen to whatever music they want. Banning emo/goth music is not going to stop people from killing themselves. It's avoiding the real problems.
