EMO TO BE BANNED IN RUSSIA?

People around the world are up in arms over “Emo.” The music genre, which is short for “emotional,” began receiving lots of bad press after a 13-year-old girl and fan of the genre committed suicide in England a few months ago. According to NME.com, Russia is now trying to make Emo music and its associated lifestyle illegal in their country. A new law could regulate Emo Web sites and Emo and Goth style clothes from schools and government buildings. The fear? According to the Russian government, the Emo attitude promotes depression and suicide. Fans of the genre are protesting the legislation.
