Emo to be made illegal in Russia?

New laws planned to stop 'dangerous teen trends'

Whatever you think of emo, such legislation would limit the freedom of Russian teenagers. The example of what's going on n Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, is worrying and indeed the protesters are right by saying: "A Totalitarian State Encourages Stupidity". and I also agree with the slogan: ""Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law." because if the regime is worried about people discussing and expressing emotions then logically they can ban theatre, literature, classical music as well. I don't see why emo is emotionally worse than Swan Lake or any classical story where there is death and/or suicide.
