    I hate feck emo kids as much as everyone else but is is just crazy....

    A new Russian law could make being an emo kid illegal in the eastern European country.

    Legislation is currenting being formulated in Russia to 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 these "dangerous teen trends" encourage depression and suicide.

    Yeah - all forms of individuality should be banned, not just emos or goths.

    Football shirt wearers too. And people who modfiy their cars. Or listen to live music. Ban them all.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    that way I get banning them, they will get bored and move onto something else in a few months.... How many Central-Banker Skaters-tards have you seen around lately... NONE because they are all now dead, skankers or emos or into something good.

    Goths scowl in the corner and bitch to each other.

    emo's make sure everyone hears there retarded cries for "help"....

    Now who will they laugh at?!

    Okay, that's just weird and a tad extreme to enforce legislation like that. The word 'Communism' suddenly just entered my head.. I wonder why?! :rolleyes: Russia as a country encourages depression and suicide all on its own via its poverty and general economic hardship. With oil prices skyrocketing Russia - which is a major oil exporter, to the exclusion of importing other resources equally- is facing increased inflationary risks and an increase in its national GDP. General produce there will be even more expensive than before in time.

    Also, Russian levels of alcohol consumption (nearly 15 litres per person) and suicide are among the highest in the world; their suicide rate has almost doubled since 1990, with nearly 57,500 Russians taking their own lives every year. I imagine that the cocktail of a difficult economic climate and heavy drinking contribute to the abnormally high prevalence of suicide. Ask anyone who comes from Russia if it's a wonderful, happy place and they'll most likely tell you, "No".

    Dmitry Medvedev and his posse are only using Emo/Goth as a sort of 'fall guy', and to subversively give themselves permission to garner more control over and supervision of young Russian people. They're being irrational.

    That's pretty much the direction we're heading. No matter how much you hate it, they're not breaking any rules.

    Yep. Western governments do it too, only with a bit more sublety. They try to make it socially distasteful rather than illegal.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    The should probably just send out leaflets that remind them that it's not "across the stream" it's "up the river".

    Yeah they are so individual that they all dress the exact same...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,762 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Yeah they are so individual that they all dress the exact same...

    ....unlike the hoards of people wearing Man U shirts...?

    Anyway, I don't care if it's indivual or not. Just ban it. Compulsory Blue jumpsuits with hair line 1.5 inches above the collar for all. Now.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 292 ✭✭Krsnik87


    Its always funny to read about people ranting on about how "you people dress the same, your gay!"

    Not into that sort of fashion myself but if you think about it, all clothes are mass produced so EVERYONE is bound to dress like someone else. Its nothing to do with individuality, its just covering your 'shame' in a way thats comfortable for you.

    Individuality? Bah, sure tis only a myth!

    "You'd be non-conforming too if you looked just like me!!"

    I can't stand them cùnts with their mentality, not the whole "depressed" thing but their own "zany" outlook on life is quite irritating. Quoting Family Guy & Monty Python 25/7 and saying "wacky" things cuz they're oh-so funny is fùckin' annoying! "OOOoooh, it's the finger-eating penguin monster from sock land!" *groan*

    Still though, that is a bit OTT. But they do have Emo-bashing sprees in South America

    Oh there is, but it's not as common as people think. Like I mentioned ina previous posts, if we're going to bring in laws banning people from wearing certain types of clothes...

    Think ill be cancelling Russia on my Round the world trip ha!!

    seriously though I cant understand why "emo's" irrtate ye so much, most grow out of it within a year and are on to something different, take my neighbour for example, emo one day , wearing his tracksuits tuckded into his socks the next, some people just follow what they think is cool. I sure most of ye followed some trend in yer life , ye aint all that individual. nobody is!

    oh and note my user name is just a running joke with some people i know, yes i kinda look like one but screw it, im happy:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    Somewhat offtopic but why are emos and goths almost always white? I suppose the Japanese and Chinese have them but then they can be quite kooky anyway.

    I live in London and I don't think I've ever seen a non white emo/goth.

    /random question.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    This is WAY some people hate emo's they are leaches...

    You see some black Emo kids around London, from time to time.

    I suppose there's not that many black teenagers in Ireland, that you'd see any emo ones.

    As much as I don't like emo, making it illegal is too much. People can be what they want man...and emo chicks can be kinda foxy lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    The thing is, they'll still be emo.
    You can't make being a pussy, non-conforming conformist illegal.
    It's like trying to make breathing illegal.
    It just comes naturally to these people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,544 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    So should we expect an invasion of hot emo chicks (the male ones can go work in a gulag tbh), where do i sign up ?

    Never really understood the difference between an emo and a goth to be honest. Seems like they're the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,182 ✭✭✭nyarlothothep


    thats just stupid. It should be illegal to introduce laws that ban cultural forms of expression

    I don't get the whole emo bashing thing, it makes no sense to me, what does it matter if a bunch of teenagers decide to dress and act in a particular way which is non threatening. So what if you find it irritating, thats their business.
