Easter at the Harvard Club Leads to Naked Punks with Bunny Ears and Plushes

University Students Studying BLT, Radical Politics, and Social Class

Students at University of Arizona are reading about BLT for class. This is definitely one of the more amusing things I found while doing research on Black Leather Times for the BLT Kickstarter (less than 48 hours left, eep!)

Wow. Hadn’t seen Hot Topic since they went private. Not at all gothic or punk or alt now. Mostly like $6 Shirts, only for kids, and with less selection. Why did they bother to destroy the counterculture ecosystem, if this sterile mediocrity was their endgame? #goth #gothic #punk #hottopic #lame but
