Russia bans Emos

Fans of Emo and Goth fashion in Russia have protested against their government’s attempt to ban the look from schools.
Someone tell them emo is just a genre of music and the style is called different. I’ve heard thousands of scene kids invaded the streets to pursue ‘justice’ lmao…really wish I had some videos with that. Hell, you would have thought that by drinking vodka instead of water, some won’t ever get so depressed as to go goth or ‘emo‘.
“How can you stop people from expressing themselves, from dressing how they like, from living a way of life that doesn’t harm anyone?” one female protester told the Associated Foreign Press.
It is reported that one lawmaker with shit for brains heard that emo + goth = suicide and thought he would be hero if he does this. You can’t blame him for stupidity (only I can), the blame on half of the recent suicide cases I heard about recently in media was put on ‘emo mean cult’.
Depending on the outcome, other states may follow their examples.
