This will work because Russia has a perfect record in repression of ideas and information?

Isn't living in Russia depressing enough? Like they need depressing music because their lives are that great.

When did Emo become 80s glam rock?

/somehow I think Russian emo kids were depressed before they found the music.

I'm having a hard time believing this. Traditional Russian music is more emo than emo could ever hope to be.

I used to go frequent this Russian restaraunt near Brighton Beach and a Russian friend translated the lyrics to me for a few songs, until he said aw, to hell with it, and summed it up concisely with a "To hell with this, they're all pretty much all minor variations on the theme of expressing a lifetime of regret. Let's order more vodka."

"[A pound of dark matter] weights more than 10 thousand pounds"

or "as much as a 1000 suns"

But not one million pounds.

The Gentileschi version (new window) is better though, considering it was painted by a woman. Might want to stay away from that one...

Because there is nothing else in Russia that could possibly encourage depression and suicide, am I right, tovarishchee?

 
Wrackspurt 2009-03-27 02:52:09 PM  
Oh, good call, Russkies! Because obviously this has everything to do with bad imitations of old-school goth music and nothing whatsoever to do with being a nation of alcoholics.

Goth: listened to Cure, Sisters of Mercy (to name a couple of mainstream bands), lived in a giant fark pile of like-minded guys and chicks, drove a clapped out BMW 323, sees doc quarterly for another clap shot

Emo: listens to Tokyo Hotel, lives with parents, begs rides from Mom and her minivan, will start puberty any day now

Emos : Cry alot, biatch about their lives alot, usually well off kids from well off families that treat them very well. Dress in all black, hair covers parts of face. They go to "shows" and anyone who doesnt look like them is outcasted because they arn't different like they are. They all hate what it's cool to hate, and like what it's cool to like. Normally to pussy to cut themselves anyways.

www.photographenbuero.de

Punks : Rowdy, drinking, drug smoking, party going young adults. Like to piss people off with their actions and looks, but generally are happy, interesting people. They dont care what the other punk people are doing or look like and generally they all have their own hates and interests. (unless their poser punks)

www.buckingham-uncovered.co.uk

Punk skaters are either just a punk who likes to skate, or a skter who wants to look punk, ones a poser and the other couldnt care less what you think.

Why did i have to grow up between generations of cliques?
Two years ahead of me there was punky and gothy kids, a year behind me was emo kids...

I still can't tell the difference. They all pretty much look and act the same to me (aside from the skaters POSSIBLY skating at some point on those idiotboards they carry around).

Ah well, I might have cared more back when I was in high school, but now they just come off as annoying on those trips to mall stores.

Emo/goth kids really all need one decent ass whooping. I mean something with an object, like a metal bat, or a piece of rebar.

I would enjoy seeing that.
