see everything was better thenInvader Zim got co-opted by Hot Topic/Spencer's Gifts kids and was never the same
See, I'm a little confused on that one.Invader Zim got co-opted by Hot Topic/Spencer's Gifts kids and was never the same
Turns out it is the same guy: Jhonen Vasquez - WikipediaSee, I'm a little confused on that one.
I never looked it up but the invader Zim art style look identical to Johnny the homicidal maniac, so my assumption was that Zim was from the same people but toned down for kids television. I could be totally off on that.
If that's the case, a Hot topic tie in wouldn't completely surprise me
That is the saddest thing I have heard today.I was incredibly saddened when, at doom shows, I've tried to reference "I'm going to sing the doom song now! Dooom doooom do doooom doooom" etc, and nobody got the reference.
Actually, their was a brief window of time where JTHM merch was sold in Hot Topic. I had a JTHM tee in the late 90's that I'm pretty sure i bought at Hot Topic. Maybe. It was either Hot Topic, or Utopia, which was a local head shop type place in Long Island that was basically the Hot Topic for people with more "culture" lol.. It and a record shop called None of The Above were like the only places you could buy metal merch locally that wasn't just from a selection of Nu metal bandsI have honestly never even heard of JTHM, but if it is the same people, it's not surprising, but it's not like there was any Johnny merch in Hot Topic either, so I'm not sure where the overlap would have come in that they saw the adult crowd buying Johnny stuff while the younger ones go for Zim.
