Konstanov Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 God bless the Fatherland! And it's not Goth that is a huge scene in Russia, it's Rivetheads, do not get them confused. Which mixes military uniforms with tattoos and piercings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMaster23 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Finally a well said post in this ridiculous thread.I'm a guy, and have a long fringe, and listen to ''emo music''. I don't class myself as emo but people seem to. Maybe it's just a phase, who knows, this law is preventing people from living how they want to, it's restricting their freedom. ''No, you can't have long hair and wear make up -gives fine or jail sentence-'' Ah yes because Russia is so incredible liberal? Just because it aint the union anymore, doesn't mean the country has change that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spy beef Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I wish similiar laws were passed in the US, Canada, and Australia. This should be banned out right since, it is causing harm (suicides) to the general public. Teenagers are following this trend (ideology), and commiting suicide. It's not a fashion trend, but a danger to our social structure, and young population. You can't always use the freedom of expression to justify an ideology that leads to suicidal teens. IMO freedom of expression should only be enforced if it doesn't harm anyone. My 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen depressed.suicidal people become emo, yes, but not the other way around. I hate it how people jump the gun and say it's the ''emo culture'' that causes deaths.

Konstanov Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Continuing on what Senate said, Russia needs to do this because any thing causing suicide rates to rise is bad for them because the population of the Russian Federation is lowering at a rate of 700,000 per year and the current rate the Russian community will be extinct in 240~ years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CjjC7B6v8Y.swf Edited July 27, 2008 by A.B.L.N.N.

Dc'1 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 How pathetic, why can't people be left alone? I really detest people who have a dig at others simply for the clothes they wear or the music they listen to, take at look at your own lifes cause none of us is perfect :wacko: I don't think they are banning it because they don't like the clothes, they are banning it because it's dangerous, and are more likely to self-harm/commit suicide.

Actually wait, you?re just full of it. Maybe you should consider a career in politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad. Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I don't think they are banning it because they don't like the clothes, they are banning it because it's dangerous, and are more likely to self-harm/commit suicide. If that's the case then why can't they focus more on helping these 'suicidal'' people out? If they make this illegal then I'm sure more people could end up killing themselves.

bmdixon Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 This is ridiculous! What will it achieve by making it illegal? It'll mean millions of people are breaking the law for listening to music they like and dressing how they like. Why stop at emo, surely rap music is encouraging people to use guns, 'pop' music is making girls think they have to have this 'perfect barbie doll' figure and look. Almost every type of music can be associated with something that affects people in a bad way. Yes some emo's are sucidal/depressed/have issues but i wouldn't make it illegal. why not help the people who have problems (emo or not) to deal with whatever issues they have? Surely that would achieve more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran Posted July 27, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2008 I am surprised at some of the responses here. It's as if the anti-emo people don't respect the choices of the emos. How would they like it if things they liked were made illegal? Also Russia is sliding into authoritarianism again, as has been noted in many news sources. Why would people in the West who value freedom and live in free societies not include freedom of expression as part of freedom? Maybe it is also worth quoting from Techdirt: The history of modern culture is littered with examples of older generations freaking out and having moral panics concerning the culture of younger generations.... The [Russian] politician who introduced the legislation calls the music a "dangerous teen trend," a "social danger" and "a threat to national stability." If this sound ridiculous, don't laugh too hard, because politicians around the world have made similar claims about any variety of other pop culture trends they just didn't understand. But, at some point, you would think some of these politicians would look at history and get a sense of how ridiculous they're going to look a few years from now for blaming a particular pop culture phenomenon they don't understand for "a threat to national stability."
