[GoldenCondor]

This is a pretty old article, but when i read it i lolled and said "FINALLY!"
What's your opinion on this? Do you think this is a good idea?

emo is a culture?

emo is a culture?

That's what I thought. I don't think it really counts.

 

[brainfreeze215]

That's hilarious.

So would this be the appropriate time for some Commie-bashing?

I kid, I kid.

 

[letsnoobtehpwns]

HAHAHA!!! I hate emos!

emo is a culture?

I'd call it a sub-culture if anything.

 

[funksobeefy]

HAHAHA!!! I hate emos!

haha I hate emos too!

What did our national bird ever do to... Oh...

Nevermind.

This won't stop them. Underground emo clubs, etc. They're just asking for trouble by trying to ban something that has so much popular media and culture that it depresses me to the point of wanting to slit my wrists.

See, now that's irony.

Yeah, but most of the people joining this "culture" don't even really know what it means.

Also, holy crap. You joined three months after me, and you've already nearly overtaken me in posts.

oh Russia, You and your politics are so delightful.

Being a suicidal teen will result in you being shot on site. Hmm...
In all honesty that's hilarious but what it will do is make being "emo" "badass". Anyone being "emo" will be breaking a minor law, making them "raging against the machine" and "stickin' it to the man" and all kinds of other quotes of synonymous meaning. That could be a bad thing.
"oooh, I'm Fightgarr! I like to use quotes a lot. I'd be making sarcastic air quotes in real life."

as much as that sub culture annoys me (when I was in high school we called them goths and they liked gargoyles and cigarettes a whole lot more.) This is silly Russia shame on you.

Also, holy crap. You joined three months after me, and you've already nearly overtaken me in posts.

You joined 6ish months after me and have more posts than me.

It doesn't. It's just a dumb fab. They just want to be 'special' er noticed.

Which they do get noticed because they look like freaks when you put them with 'normal people'. Oh please don't say, but what is normal.

As much as I dislike emo "culture" this banning of it is much more distasteful.

As much as I love it when whiny kids get called out on their bullshit, Russia's only fueling those little bastards' victim complexes. [http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Victim_complex]

Oh no! Let's cut our wrists!

 

[Kiutu]

Hating on 'Emos' is so...pathetic. But whatever, it helps me weed out those not worthy of listening to. I already know two badly named people in this thread who I never care to talk to.

Even though I kind of dislike that sub-culture, that's a rather ridiculous thing to do...
