Being an emo kid in Russia could be deemed illegal some time soon as the government is trying to pass laws that would 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 emo encourages depression and suicide. Of course, the emo kids of Russia aren?t keen on this. There were mass protests by Russian emo kids just last weekend. Dmitry Gilevich of Russian emo band MAIO said at a protest ?Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law.? More and more countries are beginning to fight against emo ? England, Mexico and now Russia.
