Hot Topic cashes in on Guitar Hero II; yeah, punk is officially dead

I'm gonna make a cedar-feeder with a McDonald's inside!

woot topic

the greatest indictment against Hot Topic is the mere fact that it IS in the mall!

Hot Topic: where awesome goes to die.

^^ I totally forgot what I was going to say after I read that dyson. Good god thats fucking hilarious

but in all honesty, who cares what they sell. are you going to stop buying camo shorts cause they sell them at pacific sunwear? of course not, camo shorts are both rad and timeless.

This isn't exactly what I was looking for, but since its so fucking weird I just had to post it...

Wait, I missed something. Gaming used to be cool? When the hell was that? Pong?

Hot Topic also has World of Warcraft shirts. FOR THE HORDE!

I agree that online is the way to go.
not to whoreout shit, but spreadshirt.com is pretty cool and you can submit your own designs and then buy them. Im thinking of making some robot shirts...

Nex has the power to express my sentiments in such outrageous yet brutally honest ways that even if I wrote an eloquent paper over Hot Topic I'd still bow down to his mightiness.

I've been told that Hot Topic is owned by Abercrombie n Fitch..?

Either way, they're in the mall.

And I buy my Nintendo shirts there. Don't tell anyone.

You can get the same merchandise hot topic sells at other stores, or very similar merchandise if you just look carefully. But since all the teens have seen it at hot topic, now they have to have it, and it has to be bought at the overpriced hot topic in order to be cool. It seems that hot topic has backfired against itself, since its now seen as a mainstream store just as abercrombie or hollister, it doesn't really make a difference if you shop there or at hollister, of course when you get out of high school no one gives a care where you shop or what you look like, so I am very thankful that I am not in high school anymore as I do not have to worry about trivial things like this.

Hot topic does have some nice exclusive video game merchandise and I have picked up many nice things there in the past, you shouldn't be afraid to go into the store because god forbid you find something you actually like, since its in a mall and its mainstream its not angsty enough for the teens now. I did enjoy their selection of old nickelodeon t-shirts that no one else had, and I was able to pick up a few for 5$ each, I seriously doubt the teens shopping there are even old enough to remember the good nickelodeon shows. Its mostly the 80s merchandise for me, fortunately I can wait until they have clearances or 50% off sales then I get stuff for a better price. I do not spend a lot of money there nor do I buy all my clothes there, its more an occasional item because it is something I LIKE, not because I am trying to fit in with some group.
