Russia got rid of the Chechens, then the ethnic Georgians, and then the "maverick journalists." The new "rebels" to be the target of the Ruskies - EMO KIDS!
These pierced lipped, glam haired, black eyelinered rebels have Russia's leader up in arms.
Clueless social conservatives are lumping these little whiners together with skinheads, pushing for heavy regulation of their websites and the banning of goth fashion from schools and government buildings. Hot Topic Russia? EPIC FAIL.
Bands like My Chemical Romance and Dashboard Confessional were introduced in Moscow during 2003. Within weeks, teens with dark lipstick and studded belts were rebelliously hanging out at the All-Russia Exhibition Centre and Pushkin Square.
The bill being passed to ban emo fashion descrives "emos" as 12-16 year-olds with black and pink clothing, studded belts, painted fingernails, ear and eyebrow piercings and black hair with fringes that 'cover half the face'. Emo culture's negative ideology may encourage depression, social withdrawal and even suicide," states the bill. And of couse, they believe young girls are the most vulnerable.
In the UK, emo kids took to the streets to protest their pouty dispositions and their right to wear skin-tight girl pants.
In Russia, dozens of the morose teens marched in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, holding signs ranging from the hilarious "We're Not A CULT. We are the MCR Army", "to emo - but poignant signs reading "Kill the State in Yourself" and "A Totalitarian State Encourages Stupidity."

Personally, I would have gone after the New Ravers. The rainbow colored leggings and zebra print jeans are starting to get to me.
