How does playing a gig sponsored by Hot Topic make me lose fans if I’m wearing dark eyeshadow, black lipstick, and wearing black gauged earplugs? Granted, I’m more rock than goth looking, but come on.
Was it because they made us play That’s What You Get? I mean, I’m really out of touch with what the goth kids like, but that song doesn’t sound anything remotely like grunge and/or goth. We didn’t pick it. Shouldn’t the fans boycott Hot Topic? They didn’t boycott the last five times we were forced to cover it…

Hey! I was just left wondering the same thing. I play this song that apparently ‘the kids’ are into, and I lose fans. I guess that was because I ’sold out’? Really, all the gig netted me was $250, so if I had known that I’d be losing 30,000 fans and gaining $250, I would’ve passed. Of course, there’s that nebulous claim about I’ll be making more from licensing with Hot Topic, but I’d like to see the fine print. I bet I’ll never actually see a dime of that. Where’s my accountant!?

It’s because you wore earplugs.
Earplugs are so not cool.
