<p>Wasn’t, and didn’t mean to seem, offended. I just thought it was funny to imagine UChicago kids hanging out at the Hot Topic in a mall. It’s like a bad photoshop job. And my distant, parental impression is that the “goth” fashion is a thing of the past, except that it survives in Hollywood because it’s a great visual joke. Not that there aren’t plenty of equivalents of yesteryear’s goths hanging around on the Chicago campus (not at the mall), but they wear different clothes now.</p>
