Wow havnt heard the same switchblade symphony in awhile. Them and Inkkubus Sukkubus were my jams, I was very goth 20 years ago. I think that and the angst of industrial helped cope with my gender dysphoria.
Yeah Hot Topic partnered with Cleopatra Records back then and put out a few great compilation CDs called Dark Noise, they had some great stuff on there like Leather Strip, Rosetta Stone and one of em had a fuckin banger of a remix of Christian Death's Cervix Couch, imma try to find it on youtube real quick (Hell yeah, I found it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=elocs8q33xQ )
Also yeah, there was a great group of kids that worked there, including at least 2 kids that in hindsight were definitely trans, but it was a very different time back then so they weren't out or anything. Also I had SO MANY girls hit on me when I worked there, kinda look back with regret at letting my anxiety prevent me from going out with some of them.
Hey that's an awesome experience though, well sounds like it. I worked fast food to go to hot topic to buy stuff. Fucking consumer based individual expression.
Thanks for sharing brought on the nostalgia vibes.
