Anarchists?
Yes, the one in the middle has an anarchy symbol on its’ glove.
On a relayed note, I would like to propose a law that makes it legal to do anything you want to people who claim to be anarchists.
What about real anarchists? The ones who actually know what anarchy is besides “omg the govment sux man, lets like get rid of it!”
Wannabe goth/punk kids are so cute.
Whats about them?
They do really important and good work, are honest an good people and it´s my no means their fault that little brats misuse some of their symobls.
Most anarchists today are for bigger government.
XD so true
Its? Really nice. BTW, no apostrophes on a possessive it. Oh yes, and it’s (it is) related note, not relayed. Before you start wanting to propose laws, you should maybe try learning the language they will be written in.
Please do keep your (your as in your own) mouth shut the hell (eternal damnation) up.
Follow these steps with me now:
1. Locate ‘Y’ key on your keyboard
2. Locate ‘T’ key on your keyboard
3. Acknowledge that they are located next to each other
4. Feel awkward for going all pretentious grammar nazi on someone who simply made a typo.
Dude, I *am* a grammar nazi and still think it was uncalled for.
Then be an Anarchist, then you can do whatever you want to Anarchists, however don’t be surprised to find out that we come prepared to defend ourselves in the event of the Government going down. I don’t know about other Anarchists, but I am personally well equipped with a quite lovely arsenal of weapons and physical well being. Survival of the fittest in our world.If we kill you when you try to “do whatever” to us, all I can say is we warned you.
Not anarchist, they’re MM fans.. just weird.
I hate having to wade through these retards at Manson concerts -_-’
…why would you go to a Manson concert in the first place?
Because he kicks arse thats why.
I love you for that comment.
Meh, not that bad really… let goth kids be goth kids I guess
That is not goth. Marilyn Manson is not goth. Kids who shop at Hot Topic are not goth. If you must, refer to them as “mall-goth”.
People like you are so ignorant. You’re completely missing the point of the “Goth” interest. It’s a collective way of expressing your interests and your opinion of beauty.
There is no such thing as a “mall-goth”. Since when does buying your clothes in a store make you not goth? So it’s just so more “not mainstream” to spend $200 on Tripp pants in some obscure store? The “fake” goths are the people who judge people on how goth they are. It’s hypocritical and pathetic.
The goth lifestyle isn’t about being sad and cutting yourself, thinking about how dark you are. It’s a label given to people who enjoy a certain look and music style. Not to mention, these people don’t need to be exclusive to that s**t either.
P.S. I don’t give a f**k if Marilyn Manson is not goth. I enjoy his music, just as I enjoy other music. It’s okay that you don’t like his music, but you don’t have to flame everyone else for not agreeing with you.
Um, real goths/punks didn’t buy their outfits at the Hot Topic or any trendy boutique. They scavenged thrift shops and made their stuff because there were no mainstream sources for their style.
“How anarchist are you if you shop at a chain store at the mall for mass produced style?” The answer is you aren’t very anarchist. You’re just following the copy-cat herd.
I’m with you on the thrift shops and making clothing but to each his own, I love hot topic, don’t generally buy clothing there as their prices are fairly high, but if it offers an outlet to those who enjoy the style, there is nothing wrong with that either. There are individuals that do visit thrift and vintage shops that also shop at hot topic as well but to be honest it’s near impossible to build an entire wardrobe from the clothing at hot topic, torrid, etc,. Majority are band t-shirts and movie/cartoon/anime/etc,.. merchandise.
I know it isn’t goth, which is why I use the term “goth kid” instead, I’m from the UK, we don’t use the word mall, so using the word “mall-goth” would just be a little odd.
Another term would be baby-bat I guess.
Sources: Used to be a goth until he realised he was a dull depressive f**khead and is currently rocking all night to Motley Crue.
Ahem. The REAL customers at Hot Topic (i.e., the ones who have friends who work there, listen to Attack Attack!, buy HT+1 cards, own too many cds, and know not to bother with the clearance rack because it’s always filled with As I Lay Dying shirts) aren’t goth. We don’t like labels. Which means that our mall has Hot Topic parked right beside Aeropostale, and all the people in there mill about in Hot Topic trying to decide if they’re cool enough to get an All Time Low watch.
And for the record, I have never encountered “anarchists,” “goth kids,” or “wannabe goth-punk kids” in Hot Topic, where my best friend works part-time. They all shop at Sea the Source. Or online.
Or J.C. Penney. I love laughing at the little fake middle school steampunks wearing their little striped gloves attached to skull decorated shirts with matching black jeans and little red hairbows with logos on them. Sigh.
I think I’d be impressed if I seen a middle school’er in something “authentically” steampunk, or goth. But yeah it’s worthless to go into stores to buy anything unless you’re literally piecing together an outfit, and what better than a secondhand or vintage shop for piecing together an outfit. I’m not a fan of any current clothing, seems to me everything is getting shorter, more transparent or just tacky[in my opinion of course]. SO I find little shops online, most of them abroad but I have found a few in the states. And I also make my own clothing. However, I’ve not mastered the art of welding so I think I will stick to buying bustles
.
Glmoth.
Mlgoth?
They aren’t that bad.
The one in the middle needs to pick another color besides that horrible red.
As for why go to a Manson concert—why not?
There’s so much better music out there, so why waste your time on a man whose all gimmick and no talent?
while he doesn’t have much talent, he knows how to surround himself with people who do, with the result that the band is quite good, except for the last couple line-ups.
He’s actually pretty f**king talented. Considering his background as a child, he’s come a hell of a long way.
The only reason he’s a gimmick now, is because stupid whores like Lady Gag Gag have made him a parody of himself.
HOWEVER. To each their own. I happen to love that psychotic f**k up. Your music taste obviously differs to mine
He has talent. Also he is well dressed, has a unique sound and awesome make up/contact lenses/hair.
Basically, he is epic! =D
More of a WIN than FAIL
Yes, a bunch of moronic social malcontents is a total WIN.
Seriously, goths (or whatever you want to call them) can definitely be sexy, but these people look like they spend all their time drawing on new eyebrows, smoking clove cigarettes, and posing in the mirror while weeping. I know I’m not the only person thinking of Anne Gwish from JTHM.
I love you, Canaduck. I didn’t think of Anne immediately, and I mostly see these kids as kids-trying to forge an identity separate from everyone, but still belonging. But a JTHM reference is never wasted.
I mean what they’re wearing is cool, besides IM 13!!! I said nothing about the “culture”, I used to be a goth, but I’ve never smoked anything! I’m not a goth anymore, but I am emo (I don’t cut myself thou, and I smile a lot
)
You are f**king pathetic. Seriously.
1) Littlemisscherrrock – I’ve seen nicknames like that for the last years, always belonging to “girls” in tight jeans or spandex with a little fringe covering only one eye. Hard user of Myspace angle photos.
2) Being 13 doesn’t make you less of an idiot. You can admit to be an idiot, since most people at 13 are idiots, but don’t screw the pooch and then go “I’m 13, so it’s ok”
3) “I’m not goth anymore, but I am emo” This has to be one of the most stupid things I ever saw wrote, and it indeed proves you are 13, or a really good troll. If you stopped being in one category, why did you jump on the next? Why not just be yourself and not what Paramore and AFI tell you to be? Seriously, did you think by saying that people would assume you made a leap in good judgement?
I know I’m being hard on a 13-year-old, but most of you would simply send Pedobear =)
*written =/= wrote
my bad
Just so everyone knows, only the Manson shirts and fishnet gloves WERE available at Hot Topic. Everything else they bought somewhere else. Perhaps we need to learn about a store and people before we judge? They may actually be nicer than they look :\
They WANT to look that way, so we judge them that way
You just insulted all anarchists
yes he did. xd
this are vampires not anarchists lol
why is that guy in the center wereing guy liner, red nail polish, and taylor swift’s lip stick? is he constipated or retarded
If they’re so non-conformist, how come they all dress the same?
I’m goth, but I’m not mall-goth. I do wear Tripp pants because they’re convenient and comfortable, but I don’t look like a retard. And I go to Manson concerts because he’s amazing.
Nice to meet another non-mall-goth
I neither look like a retard 
I always wanted to wear Tripp pants ^^ But I do not think they would look good on me. So I have to wear dresses and corsets
And I agree, Manson is great
I’m sorry, but no. Bauhaus are awesome. The Swans are awesome. The Sisters of Mercy are awesome. Marilyn Manson…isn’t.
I’m sorry but yes. You may have your own opinions but that doesn’t mean we are wrong. The fact that you think it is wrong just means that you are closed minded.
let’s go with ‘awesome in a completely different way’.
I LOVE Tripp’s skinnies. They know how to make pants. REALLY. WELL.
My friend, wearing pants that choke your balls(if you are a guy) into nonfunctioning useless skin is not something to be proud of. Just saying.
Laura is right. They are mall-goths, maybe if they had on some Bauhaus, or even Sisters of Mercy that would be goth. They are just little Snot Topic, trend following teens. If you shop at Snot Topic, you lose all credibility and the right to refer to yourself as goth or punk, or any of the subsequent sub-genres.
Definitely mall-goth/emo. A real goth has people move to walk on the other side of the road, not have people bending over laughing.
Marilyn Manson Is mainstream music. You fail!
Oh god I feel old. Instead of just annoyance I’m having the mom reaction (for the two on the right and left) if you’d just wipe that s**t off your face and not dress like you were drunk and spent the day with a box cutter you could be such a nice looking kid.
Oh please! You 3 are way top mainstream its not funny… Friggin’ conformists.
the only guy I like out of all of them is the one at the bottom sticking his head into the shot
Hot topic isn’t what it used to be. 15 years ago, Hot topic, Way out & Spencers were they s**t. There was also Zipper heads on south st. Now most of those places have either closed up or sold out.
Goth/Punk/Emo/Thug/Prep/Norm, Personally i let bygones be bygones. I still dress goth but i don’t shop at Hot topic anymore. I still hear Freak yelled when i go out. Freaks & Thugs used to fight on a daily basis back then, because of clothes, music and attitude.
Music and clothes are personal opinion and not everyone is gonna like what you like, thats no reason to rip on people or start a fight.
I’m still goth or a freak, whatever society wants to label me and i understand these kids and why they dress the way they do, be it goth or other.
+1
I shopped at Hot Topic 15 years ago.
Though it had some decent stuff, it was mostly gimmicky crap. I’m deeply troubled by the fact that it’s apparently gone downhill from there.
15 years ago? So you’re 30 and still shopping at Hot Topic. Grow up. You’re the equivalent of the 60yo guy hanging out at the college bars.
Lol you just took the Gangs of New York plot and twisted it into your own goths-vs-thugs scenario. I can imagine you “fighting” some thug while yelling “GIMME BACK MY ‘LOVE WILL TEAR US APART’ ALBUM!!!”
Some day you will realize society isn’t being mean by calling you freak or labelling you (which they don’t, people have lives you know). You just DRESS that way so that they WILL do those stuff. And then the endorphine kicks in while you think “Yeah, I’m really rejected… I’m gonna listen to some Bauhaus now.”
How very bloody original. I’ve met more original people who at first glance looked like everybody else around them – it was what was inside their heads that made them original, or at least interesting, not what they were wearing and or what was wearing them.
This
“Me and all my friends are non-conformists.”
I used to make fun of goths a lot until i realised that i was doing the same thing society was doing to me and my friends for being metal heads and having long hair just years before.
Do none of you realize that is Sanjia in the middle?
oh my god!!!! the one on the left looks like my ex!!!!
Whoa! I said the same thing (after you). So I’m thinking that we equally have bad taste. Go us!
Awwh – I’m geting flashbacks now… *grin*
Manson is the sh**est live gig ive ever been to and i have been to soo many bad gigs!
All I can say is-2 posed 2 take seriously.
After several hours drinking tequila, he decided lipstick would improve his prospects. Wanting to do a good job, he decided to practice on his eyes first – then to his horror found the lipstick was a permanent marker.
the one on the left is cute!
While I personally think that you can shop at Hot Topic and still call yourself Goth (it IS possible!) it’s little snots like this that make the rest of us look bad. THAT is the unfortunate face of Goth culture. Marylin Manson fans that don’t know what “anarchy” means and wear more makeup than I do (and I don’t leave the house without it).
I’m more of a steampunk, myself (well… steampunk-lite, I do have two jobs with restrictive dress codes) but I’m on the outer fringes of Goth and it bothers me that a culture that my friends and I are part of gets a bum rap cos of guys like this.
I listen to Marilyn Manson. I don’t wear make-up. I probably understand Anarchy better than you. Oh and I don’t dress like I have a mental condition. I dress normal. You are the one labelling yourself. Sad.
The guy in the Marilyn Manson shirt looks like a guy I used to date. In hindsight I should have known that a guy who shaved his chest and wore more makeup than I did would turn out to be a massive weirdo.
Ah, leave em alone. They’re just kids trying to work out who they are and where they belong. They’ll be forced into smart clothes and neat haircuts with proper partings soon enough. Let them have their few years of clumsy experiments with fashion alternatives while they’re still responsibilty-free and have disposable cash for fishnet gloves.
O my god the guy in the top left in GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
The one on the left is kinda sexy!
Ok you children that think you know what anarchy is and are all for it….If you really knew anything about it you know it would never work. If you collapsed the government youd have yippies runnnin around breaking s**t and stealing and killing because humans are f**king dumb. you would then organize a way to keep the yippies in line and voila you have the start of a new govt. maybe anarchy would work if the world was full of intelligent and peaceful people
Survival of the fittest, if you die, you didn’t deserve to live in the first place.
Buzzy, anarchism does work. Look at the spanish revolution in 1936 or the kubbutzim in Israel.
Guy 1: Hey I know that dude.
Guy 2: Which one…
Guy 1: The kinda black dude on the bottom.
My favourite is the guy on the bottom left. ;D
