I don't know, I think this is pretty silly myself. Certainly crimes against people of these subcultures should be taken seriously but hate crimes, really? It's fucking music and fashion and the majority of teenagers and people in general don't stick to goth/emo/punk lifestyles for life so it's not in the same category as sexual orientation or gender, what the fuck
