Hiki iā ʻoe ke piliwi, ʻaneʻane ʻo Hot Topic kokoke i ka 30. Inā ʻo Hot Topic kahi keiki Goth hiki iā ia i kēia manawa ke hoʻokele kū kānāwai, koho balota, inu (ʻoiai ʻike mākou ʻaʻole ia i kali a 21 no kēlā!), A hoʻolimalima kaʻa kaʻa. I kēia manawa e honi i ka nui 3-0 ma ka hoki a komo i loko o kēlā mau makahiki ʻekolu o ke ola ʻeha.

Pehea e hoʻoponopono ai ke kumuhana wela i kāna kanakolu makahiki? Inā nā makahiki i hala iho nei he mau mea hōʻailona ia e hoʻomau i ka hoʻololi i ka honua geek a e huki mau ana a mamao aku mai nā aʻa Goth a mākou e hoʻomanaʻo aloha ai nā keiki o 90. Minamina ua hala lōʻihi kēlā mau lā no nā makahiki.

Ua hala nā lā o nā lole veleveta i hoʻopili ʻia i ka lace a me nā kapa ʻeleʻele lōʻihi ʻeleʻele. ʻAʻohe kāmaʻaʻeleʻele kuli ʻeleʻele kuli kiʻekiʻe me nā buckles e holo ana i ka ʻaoʻao. ʻAʻole lole palau e paʻa hou e puni ana i kou noho kula a pale iā ʻoe mai ke kū ʻana e haʻalele. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kahi pālule weliweli ke ʻole ʻo ia 'Amelika ke haiia'ku Moʻolelo or Nā kino make e hele wāwae nei. Ua aha ʻia ka Nuʻukia ma ke alanui Elm, Halloween, a hewa make nā pālule ua hoʻopiha wau i kaʻu mau mea huki? A maʻi paha kekahi mea ʻē aʻe i kēlā mau kiʻi Pop e lawe ana i kahi? Eia hou, he mea nui wau iā Disney, akā ʻaʻole ia kahi i loko o Topic Hot. Ua hala nā lā o Hot Topic i hala, a keikikāne mākou e ʻike nei iā lākou.

ʻAʻole nā ​​kola spiked a i ʻole nā ​​lei kaulahao kinipōpō e maʻa mau i nā alaloa o nā kula kiʻekiʻe ma ʻAmelika. ʻOiai kēlā mau paʻa paʻa āu e komo ai a puni kou pulima a kālepa me nā hoaaloha paʻakikī e loaʻa ma kā lākou paia mea pono.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i kahi ʻōmole o ka lipstick ʻeleʻele a me ka polish kui ʻeleʻele i kūlike ʻia, akā pēlā nō ʻoe ma kāu hale kūʻai lāʻau kūloko. ʻOiai kekahi mau waihoʻoluʻu o ka waihoʻoluʻu punk lauoho i koe, kahi mana i Manic Panic a ka hapa nui o mākou i hoʻohana ai e hoʻololi i ko mākou kala lauoho i kēlā me kēia pule. Aloha kākou e loaʻa mau ka lauoho ma hope o kēlā mau shenanigan. Akā i kēia manawa ua hele ʻo Hot Topic i kahi ala ʻē aʻe, kahi ala i piha i nā geoms fandoms a me nā neon waihoʻoluʻu.

Ke komo nei ke Kumuhana Hot i kāna kanakolukū, a ʻo ia hoʻi ke ʻano makua. No maoli kēia manawa, ʻaʻole ka "E kiʻi wau i ka hopena" ke hiki ʻoe i kou mau makahiki he iwakālua a e ʻai mau nei i ka pizza no ka ʻaina awakea ʻehā mau manawa o ka pule. Kūʻai nā huahana e kūʻai aku a uku i nā bila i nā waihona, ʻoiai ke waiho nei i kekahi o nā mea i hoʻoluʻolu a ʻokoʻa hoʻi i kona mau makahiki ʻōpio.

ʻO nā huahana kīwī nostalgia a me nā huahana geek fandom i pani i nā mea o kona wā ʻōpio. Nā kiʻi kaha kiʻi Nostalgic e like me; Invader Zim, Nā bear bear, a kula kahiko Teenage Mutant Ninja manu kuhukukū laina i nā paia. Mai kuhi hewa iaʻu, aloha au i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni mai koʻu wā kamaliʻi, akā he manawa a me kahi kona, a he wahi hōʻike liʻiliʻi loa kāna ma ka hale kūʻai. ʻO Geekdom e like me; kauka ka mea, Naam, a me nā mea āpau e pili ana i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni DC a me Marvel i kau ʻia ma kā lākou mau ʻūlū. Inā ua lawe mai ia i mau miliona i loko o ka pahu pahu a me kahi helu helu PG-13, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike ma ka liʻiliʻi i kahi pālule e pili ana ia ma kāu Topic Hot kūloko.

ʻO nā 'mana' ma hope o ka hale kūʻai e like me ka poina e pili ana i ka lehulehu i kōkua e hana iā lākou i ko lākou wā i hoʻomaka ai i ke ʻano ulu. Ua ulu aʻe mākou a maikaʻi, akā ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ua loli ko mākou ʻono a me nā makemake. Ke hele aku nei mākou i ka hopena pule i ko mākou mau lole ʻeleʻele maikaʻi loa a me nā kāmaʻa hoʻoweliweli weliweli kiʻekiʻe, ʻoiai inā ʻoi aku ka noʻonoʻo o nā stilettos a mākou i komo ai i ka iwakālua o ko mākou mau makahiki. Nānā mau mākou i kahi ʻeke ʻeleʻele hou e hōʻike i ko mākou hoihoi i ka ola. Eia mākou ma aneʻi, a makemake mau mākou e kūʻai i kāu mau mea inā ulu pū lākou me mākou. Aia ma hea mākou he kanakolukūmākahi mea e komo a Nā hōʻalu pālule? Loaʻa iā mākou, makemake ʻoe e nānā i ka poʻe me ka loaʻa kālā loaʻa ʻole, ʻo ia hoʻi nā ʻōpio, akā mai hōʻole i ka lehulehu i kōkua i ka hoʻokō ʻana i kāu kūleʻa mua.

ʻIke wau i nā lā ke puhi ka hale kūʻai i kāna mele me ka leo nui e hoʻoluliluli i ka paia i ka Pac-Sun kokoke. ʻIke wau i nā aniani ʻaoʻao e loaʻa mai nā mākua a me nā ʻelemākule i ka hala ʻana i ka hāpai ʻana i kā lākou ʻeke Macy. A ʻo wau maoli haʻo wau i ka haʻalele ʻana i kuʻu makuahine wāwae Kristiano hohonu me ka pepa Reagan i loaʻa mai ʻO ka Exorcist i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma waena o kā lākou mau pepa ʻeleʻele i lawe i nā mea ʻeleʻele a me nā pelaha.

Maliʻa paha ʻo kaʻu mea e haʻo nui nei ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi wahi aʻu i manaʻo ai e pili ana iaʻu ʻaʻole e hoʻokolokolo ʻia no koʻu lauoho ʻeleʻele, nā iʻa iʻa, a me ka pauka maka keʻokeʻo. ʻO Hot Topic kahi wahi i kahi ʻōpio mehameha e like me aʻu e pono ai i ko lākou ola kuhi hewa. Ua aʻo mai iaʻu e pili ana i nā puke hoʻomākeʻaka ʻO Johnny the Homicidal Maniac na Jhonen Vasquez, a ʻo Kukui ʻalalā a Nā Moemoeā a me nā Fairytales i kākau ʻia ʻelua e ka talena Serena Valentino. He wahi palekana ia noʻu iho a hoʻoulu i ka hana a me ka ʻokoʻa o loko, ʻoiai inā mākou (ka poʻe Goth) i hui pū me mākou me kā mākou lole lole, nā lauoho, a me nā ʻenehana hana. Ma mua o nā mea āpau, he wahi palekana ia e kau pū ai me nā hoaaloha a hana i nā mea hou.

Maikaʻi ke kumuhana Hot, ʻoiai 30 mau makahiki is weliweli, akā ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hāhai i ke ala like me kāu mau hoaaloha. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e male a loaʻa nā pēpē, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e lawe i kahi molaki a kūʻai i kou hale mua. ʻAe ʻae ʻia kahi noho ʻana! ʻAʻole ʻoe i makemake e ʻokiʻoki i kou mauʻu i kēlā me kēia pule a hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā kemikū i kāu wai ʻauʻau, ʻeā? No laila, inā ʻoe e hoʻomaka i ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi mau oho hina, a i ʻole inā e hoʻololi ka spanx i kāu satin satin a me ka lole wili lace? Maikaʻi inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i kāleka ʻia ma ka pā i nā makahiki. Aloha mākou iā ʻoe no ka mea ʻo ʻoe ke kumuhana wela, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e loli no kekahi.
