Hot Topic pisses me off. I don't have any way to go downtown to all the REAL punk stores, so I'm forced to go to HT, but I really don't like it. I mean, seeing all the stuff they have in there now.....It's, like, the same stuff I find in Nordstrom. They're not even PRETENDING to be punk anymore. stressed
On the other hand, Hot Topic is the ONLY place I can get Cure / Shoxx magazines (plus other semi-cool stuff, like Nightmare Before Christmas....Cliche, I know.). So I'll put up with it, even if I don't like it.
{{My friend is actually completely convinced that J-Rock is going to become mainstream, due to Dir en grey's emergance (The FVT, Agitated Screams of Maggots being shown on MTV, saku being nominated for some "Best Video Award" on MTV2, W2d being sold at Hot Topic, etc.), but I disagree. The true fans will stick around once Diru's not cool anymore, and those are the only people who matter. (Dir en grey is actually really popular at my school, it seems. A LOT of people know about them, and they're mostly of the pop-punk crowd.) She's worried all the popular girls will be all, "OMG LEIK KYO'S SOOOOOOOO HOTT!!!!!" but, honestly, I don't know a single prep who could stomach his self-mutilation.}}
You have to admit, this is a oppurtune time to become a fan. Because J-Rock is gaining acceptance, it's easier to find stuff. But, again, the true fans are the ones who are going to stick with it, no matter how old or new they are.

Totally agree. I bet everyone my bass guitar that here in Oklahoma, you would never be able to find a prep who liked Dir en grey. "Eww, that's so gross! He's like, cutting himself and throwing up! Nasty!" That's the only reaction I've ever gotten. Strangely, I've got some prep-friends, and they all think my obsession and love for Dir en grey is one of the most disgusting things they have ever seen.
MTV BUTCHERED THE VIDEO ANYWAYS! D< There was really no point in censoring ASoM. Honestly. And in that video award thing, Saku won the number one position thanks to all the rabid Diru fans who decided that they wern't gonna let it lose. XD
Once all the little scene kids stop listening to Diru, all us faithful fans will still be around, and I'm sure that's what Kyo likes to see. All the dedicated people to him, his band, and his music. X3
