Default Hot Topic, leave my goodz stuffz alonez

I was in Hot Topic with my girlfriend last week. Amongst the shirts reading "I <3 I <3 T-shirts" and "I do all my own stunts" and all of the other "cool saying t-shirts" I saw an actual GOOD shirt. It simply said "The Smiths."

Hey Hot Topic, you have Bullet For My Valentine and Fall Out Boy, don't you EVER f*ckin touch our real music.

I think you're missing my point. Hot Topic needs to stick to their sh*tty nu-metal abstractions. I don't want a poser-goth-scene-kid wearing a "The Smiths" t-shirt. Thats a slap in the face to Morrissey.

You know what's worse then that? Ghetto kids wearing a Smiths t-shirt because everyone else does. So that's more of a kick in the face to Morrissey.

Are you really 21? This is an argument I would expect from someone still in high school who still gives a sh!t about image, or maybe an UP THA PUNX kind of character that looks down upon corporate agendas and doesn't bathe.

I suggest maybe directing all that misguided hate towards poverty or global warming - then come back to us and make a good thread about planting trees.

Who cares? If I saw a t-shirt at Hot Topic and liked it, I would buy it without fear of looking like a poser for buying something there. Yes, most of the people who shop there are angst-ridden kids trying to get attention from their parents by buying a bloody-skull t-shirt or some dumb **** like that, but really it's just a store like any other dumb nationwide retail store selling popular crap that people like. And if a "poser-goth-scene-kid" wants to wear a damn Smiths T-shirt, more power to him/her. Do you really think Morrisey cares? Probably not.

I don't care who you are and how old you are, everyone in varying degrees gives a sh*t about there image. If you don't, then thats ****ed up.

@nonsubmissivewife: 100% right.

U wanna see my ID?

What I was trying to get at (in my not-so-sober mindstate), was that why would Hot Topic even carry a t-shirt featuring The Smiths? Its doesnt seem to fit their xxh4rdc0rexx style. I don't want sh*t heads wearing shirts of good bands that I like and risk being associated with said sh*t heads.
