Default Russia Bans emo's!

Russia to Make Emo and Goth Music Illegal - PSFK.com

"If you wear black eyeliner, straightened long hair that covers at least one eye ball, and have lots of broken heart tattoos and black clothes--you are a menace to society in Russia. While so-called "emo kids" made headlines in Mexico recently for the amount of violence inflicted on them by others, the former Soviet Union is now making the subculture illegal for the amount of violence they apparently inflict on themselves."

Well, not that effective globally, but it's a good fucking start.

I gasped, I looked as signs of humour, I refused to believe.

I'm not one to listen to emo music, but this kind of censorship is going to make for some fuckin' awesome protests in russia.

You are an idiot aren't you?
This is not as much about the emo subculture as what kind of precedent this might create.
It's basically a kind of racism, merely targeting a fashion culture instead of of a skincolor, gender or whatever.

Plus I thought you were an american. Why aren't you scrambling to defend their right to free speech and selfexpression? Because that's basically what said law would limit.

And on another note, I think news about this is a few months old. Not sure about that though.

Give those EMOES a break...they look weird and they do weird stuff but it's all their problem and I don't think anyone should give a shit about them.

Russian reversal does seem to work to some degree, it seems. I thought it'd be enough simply to make it illegal to inflict damage on yourself.

You must be the only American I know of who actually wants somebody to piss all over the vaunted US Constitution.

Guys this is the same country that banned South Park, which already has the worst explicit sign on it, basiclly saying that NO ONE should watch it.

Emo's causing violence? Whats next a ban on Death Metal and hardcore rap? Seriously, sometimes I hate my origins...

Anyway, I really doubt its going to be enforced, much like the "No eating oranges in bathtubs" law in California (yes they have a law like that) wasn't enforced. I also ride my bike with no helmet, there's a warning on my bike to wear a helmet always, it says its the law, yet police officers always pass me by and don't appear to notice.

That is actually one of those laws that makes sense, with the head being rather vulnerable, facial skin prone to keep ever-lasting scars in case of injury and the limited protection a bike can offer you in case of an accident.
