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.

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.

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.

he can't commit to single trend (no permanent hairdye or real tattoos) because it all changes so quickly. despite his willingness to follow whatever trend his favorite store features that week, his shirts always seem a year or two behind the times.

you know your favorite band is no longer part of the underground once this kid starts hawking their merch

They are not losers. They are just individuals.

HAHA no...

What makes me sad is the people who truly dress like that because it IS who they are. They get labeled wrongly.

@Tommorow: I use the phrase "****ed up" because in my opinion you should care that people perceive you as a good person, and you should perceive yourself as a good and honest person. Im not talking cool, trendy, funny, or any of that. Just from a moral standpoint.

My mistake though, i didnt make myself clear.

It's not that surprising is it? Fall Out Boy are for angsty losers and The Smiths are for angsty losers.

sweet_nothing · 09-10-2008, 03:05 PM

Luke, are you serious or joking?

Dr_Rez · 09-10-2008, 03:04 PM

Haha i love your avatar. If one day you ever would like to change it and donate it to another member (preferably me) that would be great.

I think its Big Willie Style time now. Im about due.

Serious man, the difference is that The Smiths were good.

Rezz: Haha i found it pretty hard to let go of my Meg White one, i doubt this is going anywhere for a while!
