Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock
(feat. The Matches)
(Lars)
Go!

Tupac incense burners

[CHORUS]
Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Hot Topic is not punk rock!
Misfits candle tins
(are not punk rock)
ICP throw blankets
(are not punk rock)
Beaded Elvis curtains
(are not punk rock)

(are not punk rock)

(are not punk rock)
The Dischord back catalogue?
Okay, maybe that's punk rock: but!
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Hot Topic uses contrived identification with youth sub-cultures
to manufacture an antiauthoritarian identity and
make millions. That $8 you paid for the Mudvayne poster
would be better spent used for seeing your brother's
friend's band. DIY ethics are punk rock! Starting your
own label is punk rock! GG Allin was punk rock! But when
a crass corporate vulture feeds on mass consumer
culture, then spending Mommy's money is not punk rock!
