Why were emos so absolutely infatuated with this thing in the late 2000's?
>>143325771>this thing say his name, fuckhead
>>143325778Zim’s weird evil dog robot thingy.
>>143325778are you so obsessed with him to the point you get mad when he is addressed without the proper reverence?
Cute design and quirky comic relief in a series that wasn't known for being cute.
>>143325831>that pic>*unzips trousers*
>>143325771I refuse to believe more than half of the kids who wore GIR hoodies back then ever watched the show.
>>143325771LOL Randumb humor. Make no bones about it, emo culture was spork-core at its heart.
>>143325964No, they did. It was the people in JTHM & Squee shirts who had no idea who they were.
>>143325771Why the internet is still obsessed with emos even when they stopped being a thing since the 2010?
>>143325771they like to fuck dogs
>>143325771Cause he's cute and epic XD
>I AM TEH SPORK OF DOOOOOM!!!!1!!!!1!1! >:3And I miss those girls so much now
>>143325801
>emosScene.They were scene girls.>whyInvader Zim was the closest thing to the most popular lolsorandumb humor on tv until like 2008. It was also merched to hell and back by hot Topic, it still fucking is I went there to get a belt (just a belt) and they still have Invader Zim merch, Gir is a collective alt culture mascot now as much as he is a Nick mascot. Jhonen is probably spinning in his grave shaped bed every single night while he sleeps. I know I do.
>>143327141I still buy most of my clothes from hot topic desu
>>143327192Hot Topic is fucking expensive, like $25 for a thin shirt and pair of "punk" pants made in China for $40?
>>143326241We miss them.
>>143325771I don't know, but my niece is super into him now.
why do they ignore his standard design though
>>143327560might surprise you to know everything you're wearing right now and all the clean laundry on your floor you refuse to put away are all made in China
>>143327818metal robo Gir not as cuddly as Gir in his fursuit
>>143325771Autists related to his personality. I know so many anime spergs from this era who made GIR their entire personality.
>>143327141>It was also merched to hell and back by hot TopicThis and Nightmare Before Christmas. I remember NO ONE liked Nightmare Before Christmas. Then when Hot Topic started merching it out, it suddenly became everyone's "all time favorite Disney movie, since I was a little kid!"
>>143326241This >>143327575
>>143326203>emo culture was spork-core at its heartWe used to think that was the cringeist thing possible. We didn't know how good we actually had it.
>>143325771LOL RANDOM XD TACOS EDGY CARTOON RAWR!He was a good role model.
>>143327617Maybe there's hope for Gen Alpha yet
>>143325771cute and funny
>>143325778niggir
>>143328056>NO ONE liked Nightmare Before Christmasbull-fucking-shit, loved that movie when it came out and rewatched the VHS over and over before 00's scene and the revival of its popularity happened. I'll admit I indulged in said popularity revival
>>143325771because he was silly until he had moments where he functioned perfectly as an evil robot which is a psychological outlet for negative emotions
>>143329795Yes, that's what everyone said when Hot Topic started selling merch. Either everyone was a secret Nightmare Before Christmas fan who never talked about it, or the Hot Topic merch revival created nostalgia in people that didn't exist until people saw cool Jack Skellington merch at hot topic.
