Hot Topic is a contrived identification with youth subcultures to manufacture an anti-authoritarian identity and make millions. The $8 you paid for the Mudvayne poster would be better spent used to see your brother’s friend’s band.

G.G. Allin was punk rock

But when a crass corporate vulture
Feeds on mass-consumer culture
