i have a question

is "you look like you go to hot topic" considered a compliment or an insult?

i've had this said to me before a few times but i woke up today with my eye color changed and now even more people are telling me this

i do not know hot topic's reputation enough to know if i want to be associated with it. please help

Oh, it can be. There's wannabes, and then there's the real deal.

You're the real deal. accept no substitutions.

[ohrlyeh]

do real goths not know they're goths

what makes one real instead of fake then

[mincingminuet]

Real goths don't try to be goths.

You don't try to be anything but Howard.

[ohrlyeh]

that makes it seem like i'm the very definition of goth

which is a compliment right

[mincingminuet]

Yes.

It is a compliment.
