Hot Topic and MTV

MTV also has posted about Hot Topic and their listening parties.  They then ask the question if you’ll actually set foot in a Hot Topic store because in doing so it’s supposedly confirming stereotypes about Twilight fans. according to MTV:

 "If you’re a “Twilight” fan with an unhealthy obsession for “Nightmare Before Christmas”-branded ephemera, or gigantic, strap-laden black pants, you’re no doubt jumping for joy over the news that on October 24, Hot Topic stores across the country will be hosting listening parties for the “Twilight” soundtrack.

On the other, attending the listening party would not only require you to actually set foot inside a Hot Topic, but would also mean you’d be actively confirming every single stereotype of the “Twilight” fanbase.

It’s a conundrum, indeed.

So — “Twilight” fans who are a little wary of Hot Topic — this one’s for you: On October 24, will you be in attendance at your neighborhood Hot Topic store? Or will shame and the glaring eye of the public keep you away? Let us know in the comments.

They want to know what you think.
