The Russian government is in the process of drafting a law to make emo and goth music illegal.

Last
month a parliamentary committee was convened to discuss a draft
proposal of the Russian government's Government Strategy In The Sphere
Of Spiritual And Ethical Education bill, the details of which were
leaked to The Moscow Times. The newspaper subsequently reported that,
among other things, the draft bill dubbed the musical movements a
"dangerous teen trend" and called for emo and goth websites to be
regulated and young people dressing like emos or goths to be banned
from entering schools and government buildings.

The newspaper
interviewed one of the bill's authors, Igor Ponkin from the Russian
Interior Ministry's Public Oversight Council. Ponkin called emo a
"social danger" and "a threat to national stability" and said the bill
is a reaction to teen suicides such as the tragic death of British
teenager Hannah Bond.

"This type of behaviour is a crucial part
of emo ideology," said Ponkin. "Of course there are emo teens who just
listen to their music. But our actions are not directed at them but
rather at those who also hurt themselves, commit suicide and promote
those acts."

The Moscow Times also interviewed psychologist Inna Cherkova who said:

"Suicide is not a symptom of emo culture. I work with other teens too, and every group has emotionally troubled kids."

However, the bill is expected to become law in Russia before the end of the year.

Nasao sam samo na Engleskom jeziku,uglavnom jos tek treba da se usvoji taj predlog.
Ima emosi da poseku vene od muke

Sta vi mislite o ovome?

Mnogi bi se u Srbiji pobunili da je tako ..
Nazalost,ima mnogih koje slusaju tu muziku .. zapravo,jeste kvalitetna..svaka cast..ali iskreno nije za moj ukus .. i ne dopada mi se to odevanje i stil prema muzici koju slusam .. nikako

Pametno je samo sto se tice emosa,jer takvi ljudi unistavaju,bar po meni,ugled neke nacije i drzave.Iskreno ne bih voleo naravno da mi neko zabrani da slusam SEPULTURU ili SLAYER i znam da bi se protivio tome,ali muzika koju ja slusam i stil koji pratim uopste ne narusava moje psihicko stanje i moje ponasanje,dok emo muzika utice i to mnogo.Ne znam,mozda i lupam gluposti ali ipak mislim da je dobro samo za emo,gothic i nisam upoznao da bi pricao nesto za taj pravac.

Meni se svidja gothic metal.
Recimo Nightwish,Cradle of Flith,Tristania,Within Temptation.
Sto se tice emo muzike,kao pravca a i stila odevanja-ne smeta mi.
Smeta mi secenje vena i smetalo bi mi kada bih poznavala takvu osobu jer mi to sve lici na neku sektu,iskreno. :/
U redu je da slusas to i oblacis se tako,ali ne i da ides iz krajnosti u krajnost.
Cak stavise imam drugaricu koja je u tom fazonu,ali duhovno daleko od bilo kakvih samopovredjivanja. :)

Totalne gluposti...
Postoje toliko gothic metal bendova koji nemaju veze sa gothic kulturom...
Uostalom,ako neko tako zeli da zivi,kako neko moze to da mu zabrani?Ne krsi nikakav zakon,ne tuce se s ljudima,verovatno ne konzumira drogu...
