rocky horror is kinda like the blueprint for hot topic culture.
Laura, this above sentence is just so wrong.
Rocky Horror show is definitely not for everybody, (as everything in life) but you can't call anything that came out in the 70's and became a cult cultural item (and true it can be argued if it's a *good* cult or not) a "hot topic blue print"
Come on... the kids that shop at Hot Topic have no clue about anything historical about their music... most of them, not all, but most of them are ignorant and pathetic, following a main stream that is written for them by The GAP...
RHPS is not a great movie, but it's fun, it's amusing, and the songs are great.
Above all: it is definitely an experience when watched with the right audience, because the if the audience is great, then that's 40% os the movie right there.
This reminds me of this dumb kid at my school who is a HOT Topic fanatic. One day she came to me and started talking to me about clothes and such, and then I commented that Hot Topic steals all of it's design ideas from big gothic brands that are less known and how everything in this store is a tad "trendy" so she turns to me with this snobbish look and goes: "It's not a trend baby, it's a life style"

Idiots never die, they just rotate.
