Being an emo kid could be illegal in Russia soon!

The government is trying to pass a 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.

There were mass protests by Russian emo kids this past weekend.

Dmitry Gilevich of Russian emo band MAIO said at a protest, "Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law."

Poor emo kids!

England and Mexico hate on you and now Russia does too.
