Hot Topic

I have a complicated relationship with this store.

 

I just went there to get two t shirts since it was buy one get half off another. I ended up buying a simple black shirt with the N7 symbol and the red slash. The other shirt I bought wasn't as subtle and had this on it.

 

Anyway, while they do have some awesome shirts (seriously, most of my favorite shirts are from there), I also feel slightly embarrassed to go into the store. There's the cool comic book and video game t-shirts, but then there's Twilight merchandise covering half the store. And some of the normal t shirts make me facepalm. Ex: A shirt that says "YOUR MOM".

 

And half the time I go there there's some cool employees who know about whatever shirt I'm buying and I've had a lot of good conversations about video games and stuff like that.

But the other half of the times I go there there's some 50 year old guy with bright pink hair, goth make up, and piercings everywhere. He then follows me around the store while I try to get away from him, constantly asking if I need help.

 

Also, they've practically ruined Invader Zim for me.

 

But hey, I noticed 3 MLP shirts some people would like. They all had the pony with the Rainbow in some shape or form on them and one said "about 20% cooler" or something.

Hot Topic has always given me mixed feelings ... I mean, I got a really cool Angry Beavers stationary set there, and some of their shirts are amazing. But the other shoppers in there make me feel awkward to be there, especially because my clothing is just modest, normal women's wear and I'm not in any way trying to make a statement with my appearance. I feel like I have to wear tights and mesh tutus and crazy makeup just to go in! XD

Although from what I've heard/read, Hot Topic is often despised among these dark subcultures, or described as "posers' heaven". :shrugs: I dunno...

That's probably only the opinion of the elitists, though.

I have multiple issues with Hot Topic. For one, their stock circulates too much and too quickly. Apparently many years ago you could find Sandman shirts there. Not any more. Also, the things they sell are WAY overpriced. And like other people mentioned, the general atmosphere and other customers weird me out. The entire store gives off an aura of not wanting me there.
