Apparently the music will be banned, and those dressing like Emos or Goths will be banned from entering public buildings:

I knew that Goth was a style of music (and girls that look like they should be into S&M and blokes who wear their mothers makeup) but I thought Emo was off Sesame Street and can’t for the life of me think why his music should be banned. :confused:
 
My nephew was teasing his older sister accusing her of being "an Emo". I thought that he was saying "a Nemo" and assumed that it was some reference to the Pixar animated movie! Oddly enough I already knew what "an Emo" was and should have copped on given my niece's appearance and preferences... :eek:
 
Emos are goth like and generally have a depressed air about them, some of them wear pyjamas. Its an adolescent phase. I was shocked when my daughter showed me a link on Bebo to a glorified self harming emo page. They're all black and blood
and depressing, I think its a way to rebel for kids that find the transition from adolesence to young adult difficult. They do look threatening.
 
possibly the reason they are being banned, they want to be different but end up conforming to a stereotypical image, side parted fringe, skinny jeans, woe is me attitude, black clothes, the self harming part is worrying.
However with Goths its just black, baggy jeans, chains, heavy metal.
Both very image conscious, When I was a teenager there were punks and bovver boys, I remember this gang of youths with the three quarter length jeans,and doc martins, playing football in front of our house, when their ball came to our garden my Dad used to confiscate it, v. embarrasing; one of the lads, I remember his name...Dicky Elliot had one eye, the other poked out with an umbrella in a row....Me, I was into Bay City Rollers, tartan scarf etc. I wish Goths had been invented then, I would've made a great Goth...
 
maybe a punk then...in retrospect the bay city rollers were lame....
