No Love for Emos in Russia

Filed under: Music Minute

mcr__opt1.jpg

Being an emo kid could be illegal in Russia soon!

The government is trying to pass a laws that would 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 "emo" encourages depression and suicide.

There were mass protests by Russian emo kids this past weekend.

Dmitry Gilevich of Russian emo band MAIO said at a protest, "Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law."

Poor emo kids!

England and Mexico hate on you and now Russia does too.

    Bloody rediculous. Isn't there more inportant things that Russia could be passing laws on, like sorting out their pathetic excuse for childrens homes. Come on, if all we had to cope with in this world was stroppy teenagers (ps Im a 26 year old MCR fan so I am NOT dissing anyone in anyway so lay off bi-atches) if that was all we had to deal with in this world then it would be a pretty fine place to be. How about govenments start passing laws over the IMPORTANT things in this world and start EARNING their rediculous pay cheques!!!!!
    Bloody plebs

    yeah I read about this. Personally I think its rather stupid to target emos/goths especially when other kids/adults cut and commit suicide who dont follow that lifestyle. People don't cut themselves because the music told them to. Duh!!!

    This is ridiculous!! this law would be so discriminative its disgusting, just look what happened to Sophie Lancaster here in the UK, a law like that would just promote such negative feeling towards people who dress in an 'emo' or 'gothic' style.

    That law will never pass. A government cant pass a law on a someones personal feelings or dress sense but it is russia after all so who knows . . That said, I do agree that "emo" encourages depression and suicide. I have known a lot of people who have acted depressed and even cut just to fit into that circle.

    Fuck off, you can hardly say england dont like them just cause of the daily mail!
    I dont personally like many emos tbh, cause they look all greasy and dirty most of the time.
    But one of my good friends is an emo, and he is always so happy, you always hear him laughing at work, even if hes 20 checkouts down!
    Im as far from emo as youre gonna get in england, but we do not hate emo's in this country knobhead!
    Come to one of the colleges in this country and you will soon see that!

    WHAT THE FUCK?!!?!?
    You can't tell somebody how to dress or how to feel. what the fuck kind of law is that????
    They might as well ban preps, also.
    Emo's aren't always "depressed" and suicidal. I have lots of emo friends, and generally, they are happy people. i myself being considered emo, am happy lots of the time. I don't think about killing myself 24/7.
    and we absolutly don't encourage suicide.
    thats complete bullshit.
    and MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE is ANTI-SUICIDE.
    they inspired me not to kill myself. and because of them i lead a much better life.

    by the way, that is a very sexy picture of gerard =]



  51. 51

    That's terrible. I think finding a group to hang out with makes you less depressed, regardless of dress style and attitude. I was just a loner in school, though, so who knows? Maybe some groups can be hazardous to hang with….but still, to be blacklisted? That's a little harsh (and stupid).

    It is not that the government hate Emos, Perez, you confuse everything, people is just trying to prevent kids to kill themselves, Perez, if you are going to write about something serious like this matter, you better learn more about the subject, nobody hates Emos, that is not the feeling here is just that no one wants more kids to kill themselves.

    well. maybe if they didn't act all "sad and depressed" as they walk out of huge homes and have parents who drive mini-vans and have younger/older siblings that play sports…people could stand you. but guess what emo twat, nobody cares that your "life sucks" because it doesnt. enjoy your mom's chicken dinner with all the fixins while you listen to good charlotte in your room. loser.

    87

    Russia has had one of the highest suicide rates in the world for quite a while now. I don't think being EMO has anything to do with it. More like rampant corruption, ailing economy and the dreary winters. Most emos are just going through a phase and only a few actually cut themselves let alone commit suicide… I've known 4 people that commited suicide and 3 of them were metal heads and 1 was an average guy. EMO music isn't even dark at all either. Not my style but to my ears it's very POP style music to me.

  88. cara says – reply to this


    88

    Another thought…teenagers (or anyone for that matter) don't need a certain style of clothes or music to feel depressed and want to kill themselves. it happens, it's a chemical imbalance which is hereditary.

    What really sucks is that the word emo was turned into something connoting depression and darkness. Before that, depression and darkness was known as Goth. I'm sure there was another term for it before that. Early emo music from 2000 wasn't necessarily about depression, just extreme, raw emotion coupled with slowed down punk chords. Appleseed Cast, Pedro the Lion, and early Jimmy Eat World were what emo was at first.

    9 months? hmm I love it! maybe you should come out of you closet ddaaaahlin. I love how ignorant americans tend to be. very sad though. as far as the law goes I say go for it. check the statistics people, before you descide to drop your 2 cents. but then again your intellect won't let you go beyond writing crap on this site. Regarding someone saying it's depressing to live there….HAH. oh wait the bearss will get you! look around people, read some books watch some news maybe you won't be as ignorant as you are. dun dun duuunnnn
