leave them alone im one and say that they have their own way of expressing them selfves and stopping it in russia is nothing its going to continue to grow in the UK and US its griw ing so fast that i bet by 2009 about 40 to 50% of teens will be emo,scene or goth.

In my opinion, this article is ridiculous. That’s just like saying that preps should be outlawed because they promote being snobby and rude to people that aren’t just like you. People who aren’t emo occasionally wear the colors black and red together, right? Well, emos just happen to do it a bit more often. There are people that just happen to have black hair but aren’t emo, right? I don’t see you trying to ban THOSE people. And would this law go as far as to outlaw slasher movies or movies like Sweeney Todd (which is immensly popular in many different social types) just because it shows people murdering other people? Emo people have done nothing wrong. Not all of them believe that sadness and depression is ok, and of every one that does, there is a non emo person self mutilating or causing themself pain and misery. I find this article absolutely rediculous and just another form of communism.

I totaly agree with the article….
Honestly, I would put them all in jail if I could…. all they want is attention, what a better way of getting attention that getting sent to jail…
I mean, they scare litle children… their look is demonic and they stand for anger, depression and sadness. I think our society has enough of that already… we don’t need anymore of it in our faces everyday.
You want to be all dressed in black with chains and other awful accesories… then stay home, you’ll do us all a favor.
In regards to Russia trying to bann it from government buildings, I agree, but I do not know how successful they could be at reinforcing it. But when it comes to banning it from schools, I completly believe they should reinforce it to the max. Schools are a place for learning and also a place for respect… heck, how could anyone ever learn having to look at that dark depression all day?

That was a rubbish little essay and filled to the brim with unsupported accusations and nonsense.

You like facism? Really? Then please go to Russia and stay there, as a UK citizen I am (especially today) very glad to live in a free country where I am not prosecuted for such minor problems as clothing which in this case isn’t even a problem, it’s a facists problem. They are trying to irradicate the most eccentric of styles just because they are eccentric. Emo does not promote suicide or depression, it’s about freedom of expressing your feelings.

There are people self-harming from all walks of life and in many ways. Every year thousands of people die from smoking… it’s self-inflicted, people die from overeating, though a more tricky problem it is still self-inflicted. It is harm to the body therefore it is self-harm. Celebs smoke, booze and under-eat all the time, they infleunce more teens than “emo” ever will, will celebs be banned?

If the Russian government really think they’re doing the right thing they need to have a serious reality check. Emos are a minority subculture, most emos have their own idea about what emo means and I can assure you that very few of them believe emo is about depression and suicide and that depression and suicide are good.

Come on, get real or go join the facists.
