Even though this is one of the funniest storys I have heard....its not right, music and the "music trends" do not cause kids to do bad things or make them dangerous, I have listen to metal for a long long time, I am also a huge Manson fan and have been a Marilyn Manson fan for a long time. That does not me dangerous or make me a bad person, its just f***ing music, an escape from life when you listen to it. People need to understand that music doesnt ruin life, parents who dont care, teachers who dont care, and people who dont care is the reason why people go bad. And seriously, why ban emo? If that music does anything, it just make kids gay.

Their kickass tanks makes up for how horrible Siberia is, and their frequent use of Molotov's to kill Nazi's makes up for them allying with the Germans in the first place. In this case, sure, they're sh**ting on human expressions of individuality... but who doesn't hate people who look like The Cure?

Seriously, however much I approve of the elimination of emo and goth, I don't want it to happen this way, orchestrated by dipsh**s in positions of power. Cause you know this means that all "dark"-themed metal (read: metal) is going to be lumped in with goth and summarily disposed of thanks to the narrow-minded f***tardedness of politicians. It's a good thing that all Russian metal bands play cheesy power metal...

this is funny, but there is a difference with goth there. Goth there is taken more seriously like they do dress like black metalists when there in concert, and emos well that's funny so I dont care. But if you walk around with a wrist band,and tattoos on your arms and a band shirt with camo shorts and steel toes you won't be considered goth or emo. I travelled to Russia twice and even though I obviously went to more of a tourist spots there is a difference. There almost like germany they like metal and techno, more techno though. Just dont go to Russia with tight pants acne make up and a dildo up your a$$ and your be fine. so this is funny and useless

I don't pretend to know everything, but crossing Russia off your 'places to visit' list is a HORRIBLE choice. There's way too much unique culture, history and scenery there to pass it up. Especially if you're doing so on the basis of their national alcohol-related deaths rates.

As for banning music, no Western government would ever bother to try it - not because they know they wouldn't succeed, but simply because music is far too popular and simple a distraction for the masses. The government isn't going to ban us from listening to music if we'd rather do that than investigate their affairs. Sure, you can listen to music about what the government's doing wrong, but I've never yet seen a song unite a people to civil action.

Music is an artform, a reflection of self. If the Russian government bans a particular type of art, they will be banning a particular reflection of self, which is impossible unless we allow our imaginations to run to the "thought police" in Orwell's '1984'. This legislation is a mockery of its' legislators, if it is indeed not mere rumour and hearsay.

and alcohol consumption is just as high in other countries so stop this stereotyping.
as for banning the music i think its a step too far by any means and i dont think that its gonnabe possible considering previous russian leader in the 90s tried to ban alcohol and what happened?!

Actually, the Russian Constitution has plenty of articles that protect the individual. It's in Chapter two of said Constitution. Article 29, in particular, clearly states the individuals rights of free speech. Is it perfect? No. Can it change? Yes. Our own "Patriot Act" is proof of that. But I don't think that a bunch of made up teenagers who are depressed because their girlfriend/boyfriend dumped them and thinks that that makes them special in some way is going to cause such a political change. Unless they're terrorists. Then they're fvcked.

Oh my..
Let be realistic, in the eyes of many, goths, emos, metalheads (either fans of black metal, death metal or any other sub-gender of metal) they all are labeled the same. Anyone that wears black clothes, boots, long hair etc. will be targted..So you guys above who say "im not goth Im okay" so some stupid thing like that, think again..They are gonna target everyone that looks like an "emo" or "goth" as if they will know how to define whether you are goth or hardcore fan of Burzum..
It will be interesting to see how they will implement such change, cause I belive it will fail just like many things have already faild within Russia but also world-wide. Example, they tried to ban (globally) a CoF shirt that had printed on it "Jesus is a c***" I grant you, some people were arrested however, do people still wear it? YES..Is everyone who wears it ending up in jail r with a fine? NO! So I think its just gonna fail like many policies world "leaders" come up with..

I find it funny that the Russian government has nothing better to do than pick on subcultures.

If they're only concerned with the way "goth" or "emo" people appear outwardly and their musical preferences, their priorities are completely out of order.

If they're concerned with something deeper like these people's mindsets, their attitudes towards life, then simply banning certain clothing and music isn't going to help at all and the ban is therefore irrelevant.

You shouldn't say "second cold war". Just because the wall came down and they are not Commie anymore it doesn't mean a thing has changed. Putin may not be president anymore but he still calls the shots. I saw in the newspaper last week a Russian general said if the Americans put up a missle defence shield in Poland then they will put missles on Cuba again. The Americans basicly said do it and it means war. You cannot tell me things have changed. Oh Kalis did you get my email I sent from my new phone?

Wiggles, I got your e-mail and attempted to reply, but it said "problem sending this e-mail" Its been doing that for the last two weeks on every e-mail I send out.

You people wouldn''t be b****en if they banned metal and said it caused people to worship Satan and become alchoholics so STFU. Freedom of speech is at big risk right here. If you don't like goth/emo then keep it to yourself.

oh and for the people who said you cant tell a goth from a metalhead you are retarded.

metalheads look like EVERYDAY people, goths...well, look at marilyn manson.

Now if Dave Mustaine was walking down the street next to Marilyn Manson, who would the cops pick up? Do you realize how dumb that point you tried to make was now?

Dark funeral, I myself am percieved as goth. I wear all black, make up and such. So by the Russian standards would be banned due to my apperance, even though I listen to metal. Not every metaller looks like your avrage Joe or Jane.

^But they should. Just my contention, I never felt the need to dress up for everyday life. There are those who wear their heart on their sleeve, those who cover their heart with their sleeve, and then there's the nudists :P

And those Russian rave chicks kick arse!

well it sucks and all that ignorant polititians may not be able to tell the differences between a metal head an and emo or goth, but since this ridiculous law is being proposed in a country not remotely close to me, im not too fussed. but in all serriousness though there is no way they can fairly enforce this law. anyone wearing black will be targeted. its going to go way over the top.

it would be funny to see how they plan to define an emo in legislation.

sucks for russians though.
