A new Russian law could make being an emo kid illegal in the eastern European country. Legislation is currently 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. The legislation was presented last month at a hearing held by the State Durma, where critics claimed that the “negative” emo culture encourages anti-social behavior and glorifies suicide.

Emo kids were described as teenagers who wear black, have facial piercings and black hair with fringes that “cover half the face.”

According to Wikipedia, the term “emo” is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long bangs brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight tees, studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and thick, black glasses. The funny part about this, is that this describes almost every person walking down the streets of NYC. 

Emo stereotypes include being “emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angsty,” which is also a description of almost everyone at one point or another.

Funniest part is that Russia has the second largest problem of domestic violence. “Every hour in Russia, a woman dies at the hands of a relative, partner, or former partner, according to a new report on domestic violence by Amnesty International. The report, entitled “Nowhere to turn to – violence against women in the family,” takes Russia’s government to task for failing to adequately address the problem.”

So no-one cares about domestic violence against women, but trendy dressing is apparently quite a concern.
