Ok, not saying anything to bash emos, or anyone else here. I'm just curious whats with them and The Nightmare Before Christmas. I've noticed a lot of emos/goths/scenesters/whatthehellevers wearing Nightmare Before Christmas apparell. Is there something that started this trend? Or perhaps it's just in my area, idk but it's realy bugging me. Because, I don't see any apparent connection between the two. Anyways, if someone would care to enlighten me I would much appreciate it.

Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

Life sucks, buy a helmet.
What is a scenester?
I dont know why those kinds of kids like Nightmare Before Christmas. Maybe its because Nightmare Before Christmas is a great film and everyone who watches it likes it? I remember seeing that in the theaters when I was a little kid, and I've loved it ever since. Its the only movie you can really watch on both Halloween and Christmas. But I am certainly not a goth... I'm like... a strange amalgamation of lots of random things.
Its funny... Hot Topic is owned by the Gap. I feel like these people dont know this....
Not to hate on Hot Topic. I got a nice Bob Marley shirt there once. I also got a signed copy of the Devils Rejects script by Rob Zombie... sweet little bit of memorabilia.
"and? your a Goth, big whoosh"
"Im not a Goth", quoth the youthful Tim Burton lookalike, "Im a Post-Industrialist actually"
"Bollocks, your a goth" I replied wittily and went on my way.
Oscar Wilde has nothing on me.
Well.... no
As we arent living in some sort of Star Trek style, no cash, automated, leisure rich Utopia or a Mad Max/Fallout apocolyptic future, I'd say industry is still very much happening all around us
But i get where youre coming from, still doesnt alter the fact he was a goth laughingly pretending to be something else.
What he should have realised is that whatever he labeled himself he came across a a loud mouthed, pasty faced tit who was lucky not to find my size 10 placed firmly up his backside.
I wouldn't call emos, goth or vice versa. Though both seem to share some of the same styles. I'm not sure why they love The Nightmare Before Christmas so much but I think it's just because alot of them are sheep trying to cling on to a style and sadly that movie is a part of that style. Basically any thing by tim burton is considered cool by the scene from edward scissorhands to the new willy wonka(Which was horrible and I put all the blame on Burton. ONE MIDGET, all the midgets in the industry must feel ripped off. Seriously, I can imagine midgets in show business have been waiting for the remake so they could make some money only to find out that technology took their jobs. Hopefully the remake of the wizard of oz willn't go that way and all the poor midgets will have jobs.).
Hopefully these people will find themselves but I don't really think they are even looking.
Ah, well hey thanks for your alls responses. I'm glad to know it is just as much of an enigma to you all as it is me, lol. BTW i take offense to the "all anime lovers are emo" comment. ;p I'm a metalhead, and no not metalcore but I do like a lot of anime. I know a lot of emo stuff is integrated into anime. Kinna funny realy, the japanese people do the emo thing so much better then americans do... But yeah, I like anime like Trigun, its funny as hell...and Samurai Champloo is cool...I also like Hellsing. Ugghhh a lot of emo people at my school like hellsing too...But that because emo people like vampires I take it? Well, anyways...I still think its a cool show and manga, I like the violence
I started liking anime long before the emo trend came into play though, since dragon ball z.
Well, I've never actually seen the nightmare before christmas...My gf says its the coolest movie ever...so I think I'm gonna borrow it from someone and see what the phenomenon or whatever is all about. Yeah, I've never seen it because my mom is hardcore christian and she thought it was bad....lol yeah crazy.
Edit: btw, I think there is a distinction between goth and emo...at least I hope so, because modern metalheads share a lot of qualities with goths. And I don't wanna think of myself that close to emo. Like, goths are more into the leather, badass boots, and spikes...I mean, I wear a black t every day, usually of one of my favorite bands... but i wear blue jeans, not hot topic pants...but I do wear the crazy looking tall boots...it's complicated. Goth came first, emo is just a cheap imitation. Goth in my opinion isn't so bad, because i see it as mostly leather and vampires...which isn't so bad, sept a lot of the music isn't so good. The only goth band I like is cradle of filth, they're my favorite band actually, and they definitly aern't emo. I mean, all music has emotion and stuff but they definitly can be defined from emo.

And I don't want to hear anything about "I don't believe in vampires" because *I* don't believe in vampires, but I believe in my own two eyes, and what *I* saw is ******* vampires! "
I dated a goth for about three years. I found some of her friends interesting, and the rest completely fake human beings. I suppose that's the way it is, most of them are just going through the motions because they think it's what they should do, the rest actually like that kind of look/lifestyle. Which is about the same as any other group you'll meet.
I know the goths I know have always liked the Nightmare Before Christmas, mostly because of the art style and Tim Burton. I notice a few wierd trends develop after the fact, though. Like that Boondock Saints movie seems to be undergoing a revival.
"Emo" is a pretty over rated and stupid fad, I guess it's kind of like bell bottoms but lasting longer. If I could, but due to restrictions of my parents, I would (maybe) have my hair died some color, like green or red (with black) and facial peircings (not yet... muhahaha).
But to the topic, I'm not sure about the Nightmare Before Christmas thing, maybe because it's all dark and death like but it has a more postive message... so.... I don't know.... Kind of odd. No matter I don't mess with people or anything because I don't know who they are, where they come from, or what they can do... Like lighting up the school, I will be safe (I hope).
Sum it up, don't know don't care. What the real question is, why is hot topic selling Transformer clothing now.... now that gets the "WTF?!" Award.
