Easily a top ten addition to the collection of 33 1/3 books I've read in the series. Kinda like meeting with an old friend from high school. I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed the format of everyday narratives from misfits in Ohio and Pennsylvania experiencing the goth/industrial movement in the 90s/00s, interspersed with chapters of non-fiction text. And I would have never imagined this would contain a deep-dive into the birth and evolution of the Hot Topic franchise. Delightful!
