This was raised in class and it only came to me as I was walking back from class. (typical after the thought thought, oh well, here goes).
We mentioned how maybe it was justice of some sort due to the life style of the rocker. However, I do not feel that is entirely accurate because we would not think of it as justice for the heirs or heiresses who live hard in the same way. For instance, if the events of Heart-Shaped Box happened to say, Paris Hilton, who bought the suit because she thought it would be funny or whatever. We would likely be more sympathetic despite the fact she is a multi-millionaire who lives a very very over-the-top life. As such, I feel that HSB is more of a play directly to the rocker-life style for being a rocker, not because of the over-the-top manner of it.
Feel free to critique away! :)

It might just be me, but I doubt that I'll ever feel bad for Paris Hilton...
I have a difficult time imagining this story with a different couple. For some reason, I don't think it would have been as entertaining.
