website: anti-hate mail/sort of hate mail

Feb 24, 2005 - Hey. I just wanted to say that I love your site (yes, i know that its a joke- thats why i love it) I read your "the truth" section and I agree with all of it. However, i think that you shouldn't hate the pop-punkers lol it's best to just let them think that they're punk and let them go on being emo about their dads and stuff. Anyways, i just got sick of reading the hate mail so here it is-- the anti-hate mail.
However... what's with the hot topic hate? it's just a store lol and who the hell cares where someone got their clothes from, as long as they have the ideals and care about stuff that matters. --yeah, i've bought clothes from there. Wanna call me a "poser" or whatever go ahead, its not like it would mean anything.. oh except for that would make you an idiot. I mean if you can't get over the fact that someone bought their clothes from a certain store then wouldn't that make you as bad as the snobs who stand there wearing abercrombie and hollister from head to toe and make fun of the people who wear spikes and listen to certain bands and wear stuff that most people wouldn't be caught dead in. (btw, not everything at that store is overpriced. Ever heard of the clearance section?) PUNK IS NOT ABOUT THE FUCKING CLOTHES i know you've said this but i don't think you actually get it.. at all
-the hot-topic "poser" punk... not reallyResponse
its not that i dont like people who wear hot topic clothes, i just dont agree with the store selling the "punk" fashion to people so they go out and think theyre all punk BECAUSE of the clothes they wear. if they truly didnt care about the fashion, as you say, then why spend the money on the bullshit clothes that arent even truly part of the original fashion? notice that as i rip on the hot topic fashionites and the blink182 fashionites, i also rip on the "real" punks who have the right fashion but the wrong reasons, just like the other groups.
come to think of it, what was the url of the website? if you went to the geocities one, be sure to check out www.howtobepunk.com if that isnt the one you saw. but anyway, the point of the website isnt to rip on any one fashion-based subculture, as you seem to think it is. the point is to humorously show that fashion means absolutely nothing without the beliefs and ideals and yada yada. so would i call someone who shops at hot topic and considers themself punk a "poser"? probably. the reason being is they are suscepting to the capitalization off of a movement. by buying those retarded looking clothes, you are putting money into the pocket of some cigar puffing entrepeneur without even realizing that you're being exploited. being punk takes a certain amount of brains, and if people shop at hot topic and think it makes them punk, then im sorry, but they dont have the political or self realization that it takes to truly be an "individual" or a rebel. buying shit from hot topic doesnt set you free from your social chains, you are just exchanging them for the same chains with a different design. you are just another sheep following the crowd, buying your corporate cookie-cutter identity. is that what punk is? -
wow

Jan 11, 2005 - Okay, I do relise that you site is total satire, but it's fucking retarded! It's a waste of time if you're not seriously trying to convince people about how to be punk, in which case it would be more of a waste of time, but anyways. 'Punk' isn't even a fashion statement, it's a kind of music. The only reason I went on your fucking site was because this guy Jason told me about it. I figured i would check it out just to bash, but considering that it is only humor, it's funny ass shit! I'm not 'punk' I listen to some punk music, but emo is the shit. I have an idea, why don't you try to make a site about that, retard? See how much better it does. Oh, and by the way, The Used is an emo band, you were wrong.

My site is picking fun at the many ways society shows people how not to be punk. punk is more than music, its a state of mind. you seem like a hot topic loser, and this message seems like an act of desperation, trying to attack me because im ripping at the foundation of what you base your personality on. not that i really care what you do, i just think its funny how you attack me where an attack is not provoked, so i must have struck a chord somewhere, eh? Oh and no matter what the used is, it doesnt change the fact that they suck balls, kind of like you. they think theyre punk, and whether mtv calls them emo or not, thats good enough for me to bash their stupid asses. later dawg...

Dec 27, 2004 - my name is Tara and i feel sorry for you. dont you realise that you are so much of a fucking idiot that you keep contradicting yourself on your website! you tell us to stay away from these so called "posers" but your a fucking poser yourself! you tell us to dress just like certain so called "punk" bands and im sure you dress like them too, because your head is so far up your arse! you are copying people whose image was created for them by their record label this makes you a POSER! you dont have you own sense of fashion so you feel the need to copy bands, thats sad.
and who the fuck are you anyway to tell people how to be punk? who died and made you the king of punk? you wouldnt know a punk if it hit you on head like a rock!
and wats with all the "thats gay" and "this is gay". punks arent supposed to be superficial, so unless your a homosexual yourself how could you possibly have a perception of wat is gay and wat is not?
god i wasnt so turned on by dickheads who think they know everything i think i would kill you
Tara
p.s i bet 100 bucks you wont post this on your website because you know i am right and your fucked! stop trying to be like maddoxResponse
oh man you got me, i feel so un-punk right now. if it wasnt 1:30 am id probably explain the concept of satire to you, but i just dont feel like it right now. oh and im gonna take you up on that bet even though i didnt even read most of your email. so you can just send me $100 whenever you get the money, if you arent too busy buying AFI albums with it. as for dressing like everyone else, who the fuck cares whether a record label came up with it or a bunch of poor losers who are too lazy to get jobs? its just fashion. if you pulled your head out of your arse you'd realize its all bullshit, and if you werent so fucking hung up on image, you'd realize the big HUGE secret about my website...

Dec 8, 2004 - being punk isn't about "buying all my clothes at hot topic", its an IDEAL... its all about being original and NOT conforming... so by telling people to buy clothes like yours, you are KILLING wut punk really is.....
