This was so touching. I am moved by this song. I wish this was a ring tone.

I was gonna say it comes off a bit Ramones-ish.

Anarchy in teh UK!
I can't be the only one who thought of that.
I KNOW WHAT ANARCHY IS
But without any form of government, society would implode on itself and only your morals would decide what's right and wrong.
And considering what kind of people the world is made up of, that would be a bad thing.
RAPES, MURDERS, AND PLENTY O' THEM
BUT IDK

Newsflash! "Normal" people shop at Hot Topic too!
"Really, I never knew that."
Well, now you do!
Seriously, don't judge people. It's just plain wrong. And people wonder why there's so much conflict in this world.

You misunderstand my point. I have been inside Hot Topic before. I have paid money for Hot Topic t-shirts. I do not wish to condemn Hot Topic, not do I wish to condemn the people who shop their casually. I'm speaking of a greater issue than someone walking into a store.
This was written as a reaction to the popularity of the pop-punk/"emo" music genres (which honestly, has more in to do with the "normal people" you mention). And what I was seeing at the local venues. Namely the faux rebellion and willing apathy of those claiming to be "punk," which at it's best is about bringing attention the flaws and inherent hypocrisy of society. I hesitate to say it was being "sold out," because that would sound cliche, but it did bother me quite a bit that there were some folks who actually believed that Good Charlotte was punk rock. Hot Topic was simply a macguffen to address the issue, as that was what they all have in common.
Simply put, the song wasn't me wondering why there's so much conflict in the world... it was me saying everyone should wonder why there's so much conflict in the world.

okay, thanks for making that clear. I apologize, I tend to flip out over that kind of stuff.

I love how punk rock doesn't actually mean anything to its most vocal listeners. And anarchy is just a big shiny letter "A". And counterculture can be bought at the mall. And individuality is a group thing.
Godamn suburban American teenagers. Go to bed...
Awesome song, sir.

I dont give a flying fuck where you shop, but if you go in to a store to get an identity that will make you seem cool, deep or popular, i WILL laugh at you.
That's where the bashing of certain stores comes from, the retards who shop there, thinking they can purchase popularity or views.
I don't shop at hot topic, but this applies to other stores, who all have those customers wanting to buy something, and not just something material.

Yeah, Hot Topic and it's clientele are really just a small example of a greater issue.

Huh, thats the only place I'll voluntarily shop for clothes. Mainly because its the only place I can find band shirts.

Eh... I don't have a problem with Hot Topic itself as much as I have a problem with people trying to buy an image from it.
Buying a t-shirt because you like a band is different than liking a band because you bought a t-shirt.

I admit I shop at Hot Topic qutie frequently. But I also agree with what you've said. I see so many people go in, thinking they can buy an identity that will make them instantly popular among a certain group at school. Me? I just like the style. Hot Topic has recently gone to shit, catering more to the scene style and what not rather than what it used to sell. But a few things remain the same.

Allow me to plead my case: The message is not "Shopping at Hot Topic makes you dumb," it is "Being dumb makes you shop at Hot Topic." As much as I hate to say it, there is a difference. Walking into the store does not automatically make you an apathetic hypocrite who will believe anything MTV tells you to believe, you have to be that before you decide to buy your identity. Hot Topic cannot sell you an identity without you allowing it to sell you an identity, and sadly, a lot of folks do. There is a greater problem in our culture than a store that sells funny t-shirts, I just addressed it with an example.
This song was inspired by several people I have known personally. Especially those I've tried talking politics with... and when you can't see past a companies marketing department selling Top 40 as Pirate Radio, imagine what you'll base your political opinions on.

Haaaa.
I love this. Brilliant and so true.
It's depressing to see them selling paraphernalia of my favorite groups too.
Up until recently, I doubted that there were actual people who believed that Hot Topic was selling punk, but there actually are people that thick.
