The text "Goths in Tomorrowland" is just really funny to me. I know someone who use to dress somewhat freakish when he was like 13 and he is the biggest sweetheart. Now he's preppy with no piercings and wears American Eagle, it's just a phase. Just because they wear black, have peircings, and listen to heavy metal it doesn't mean their evil and going to cause a corruption or hurt anyone. The topics these authors come up with just amazes me.
In "Shopping for pleasure: Malls, Power and Resistance"I had no idea what Fiske was talking about until the end of the text. I think the text was stupid and a pontless topic. Who cares if kids go to the mall, walk around, socialize and not buy anything. They are mostly young teens who don't have a license and have nothing better to do. I even did it. You have no money so you just browse. Kids don't just go to the mall thinking "Oh I'm going to start a mob today." The whole drinking thing I have never even thought of but I could definately believe it considering how the middle age school kids are nowadays. But just because someone has a bottle in their hand it doesn't mean there drinking! Fiske just completely overexaggerated in this text.
