Nightmare Before Christmas

Some 7 or so years after the movie comes out, the Nightmare Before Christmas clothing fad explodes randomly (AFTER christmas, too) into our teenage not-so-counter-culture. Of course, Hot Topic has always supplied the world with fashionable Nightmare Before Christmas garb and accesories, but not like this, brothers. Practicly a 3rd of our school's population is hip with the trend. I went into the Hot Topic a few weeks ago and they were inundated with the merchendise! But more recently, they've moved on apparently. I went in there the other day and the pounds of NBC merchendise was no longer in the front, nor by the pound. It must be going out of style already, but I still see kids sporting it everyday. I guess it's easy to understand why Hot Topic stocked up for this fad. The two major areas of sales of the Hot Topic chain are dark gothic clothing and popular kid's show clothing. Wow, now theres a popular kids show AND dark gothic clothing rolled into one! Which is kind of contradicting, seeing as the kids who wear them usually look like they want to be 'dark and evil' and you just want to say "hey, you're wearing a Disney film shirt about two national American holidays. that's pretty fucking scary". Now don't get me wrong, I like the movie as much as the next guy, I think it's a classic. But when clothes get more popular than the actual movie, THAT is fucking retarded.
To get into the Time Burton theme, today's parody is:
