I really like Hot Topic, but unfortunately the stores are like tasty bait to very, very hungry EmoFish. It's been impossible these last few years to go into a store without some over-dramatic 14 year old pushing you out of the way so they can scour the bargain bins for that perfect Nightmare Before Christmas accessory that really and truly bespeaks the pain of their existence.

yeah, what's with all the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff? if you didn't know any better, you could walk in there and think that it was the hottest movie at the box office any given week based on the amount of merchandise they've got in there.

Disney knows a cash cow when they see it, and when they do they milk it dry. There's gobs of $$$ to be made off Nightmare merchandise. I like the movie -I own it, even -but I actually haven't watched it in at least 3 years because of this inundation of Jack and Sally.

I was scrolling down waiting to see your name or Sexton's. razz


I've never actually been in a Hot Topic store, but I would like to go in one day just to see what all the fuss is about. However, if anyone I knew saw me I'd die.

If I ever need to buy a thong for a sad 14 year old, before I go to jail, I'll go to Hot Topic.

10 A.M. is for the conformists. Anyone with my level of angst can't go out 'till at least 8:00 P.M. and then it's straight to Village Inn. Coffee. Black.

I buy my black clothing on the web and let the conformist UPS driver deliver it. At least he wears brown, so he's kinda sad.

I went to Hot Topic tonight with my 12 year old daughter and 16 year old son to use their gift cards they got for Christmas. That store is so stinking tiny and jam packed with crap. It was so crowded and hot and you couldn't hear each other talk because of the blaring horrible music being played. They did play one Cure song while I was in there, so they were redeemed slightly.

Here's my rant though...my daughter needed to try on some jeans, and I went to go with her in the dressing room and some douchebag worker stopped me and said I wasn't allowed in the dressing room...only one at a time. I clearly am a mother, had no clothes in my hand to try on at all, and was only going in to see if the pants fit her right. I just let it go because I wanted to hurry up and get the hell out of there. I did come home and wrote a complaint email though. If that employee could have gotten his hair out of his eyes and perhaps pulled off his hoodie from off his head, maybe he would have seen that I wasn't trying to try clothes on.

I loathe that store.

Sidenote: Did anyone see that episode of South Park when Butters is going to turn "Vampire" and his new gang of friends take him to Hot Topic to load up on Vamp attire?

You all doggin Hot Topic Meanwhile that store has Great STUFF. And the Clothes are CHEAPER than shopping at TRASH AND VAUDEVILLE or the VILLAGE in NYC. You can get some Great Stuff in HOT TOPIC,but yes, you gotta be SKINNY. The LARGE is still SMALL. They also have COOL EARRINGS.

Cute for kids, I guess.
Folk in their 30's got no business shopping there unless it's a gift for someone much YOUNGER than you. lol

There are rules on how you're supposed to dress when you reach a certain age?

Yes.

Not trynna keep up with one's children and their friends is a good one to keep in mind while shopping.

Also, just cause it's made in ones size it does not automatically mean one should wear it.

There's lots of rules. razz

Yes, perhaps.
But they shouldn't get all mad and weepy if people think they look all whory and desperate.lol
I'm not saying dress like a nun after 30. I'm just saying, if it looks cute on your 15 year old daughter, it's probably not a smart choice for you. (you as a general term not "you" you.)


Oh!!! "Will the Gays laugh at me???" this is another thing to keep in mind while shopping. nod

A person can wear whatever they want to and that is so STUPID a COMMENT! If you are YOUNG at HEART and I'VE seen OLDER PEOPLE both MEN and WOMEN wearing clothes YOU YOURSELF would DEEM them NOT TO. Also OLDER PEOPLE sometimes DRIVE MUSTANGS or CORVETTES. If you have the BODY for it YOU CAN WEAR whatever you want to! And that's a DUMB COMMENt WILL THE GAYS LAUGH AT ME? If you are TOO FAT for an OUTFIT ANYONE WILL LAUGH AT YOU! I Don't think AGE should LIMIT PEOPLE. Some OLDER PEOPLE are MUCH COOLER than YOUNGER PEOPLE.
