August 3rd, 2008 – Russia is set to outlaw emo music as part of its planned crackdown on emo culture. They cite the “dangerous teen trend” as responsible for a “significant risk of suicide, especially for young girls”. Seems kind of parallel to hip hop music’s problems in middle America. What do you think?

    You wrote this article for me, didn’t you?
    haha this is so ridiculous. I think the government should also outlaw any music that talks about any emotions at all, because emotions are DANGEROUS!
