Do you shop at Hot Topic??

Where the fuck else am I going to get a Nightmare Before Christmas Toilet Seat...Geez.

^^^ And furthermore, where are you going to get TWO of them

Hot Topic makes me uncomfortable.. too many weird kids cursing and horseplaying in one small space.

I do think it's funny to see how hard these kids try to be off the beaten path, but they all look pretty much the same. I used to buy my "cool" outfits at Goodwill or Christians in Action, then I would sew them or add patches or write random phrases on them...

I do like to buy stickers and the occasional t-shirt at HT, but usually I end up shopping at Guess or Express for my real clothes.

I saw my first Hot Topic a couple of weeks ago, when I was in LA. I can certainly see what all the discussion is about!!

part of me wants to hate hot topic, but then part of me knows that if i were 10 years younger, i would totally be shopping there all the time

it actually is owned by abercrombie, hollister is as well.....abercrombie jsut doesn't connect itself to hot topic very publicly(sp?), i can't remember where i read it but i found out when doing a project for school a couple years ago....

eh, I go in and either get really mad or just start laughing at people because they're trying so damn hard to be unique. Also, because I'm in Denver, every other shirt is a friggin ICP shirt, so I don't really buy shirts from them, unless they're clearanced. Actually, clearanced is pretty much the only stuff I buy from them, got two of my most favorite and commented on shirts from there for maybe five bucks.

i *did* find Refused's "The Shape Of Punk To Come" on vinyl there. that was really surreal. needless to say i bought it tout suite.

Good job divulging the truth. Because I'd have to cut my thumbs off if I owned stock in anything related to Abercrombie. HT is it's own entity. Maybe you were thinking of abercrombie, old navy, banana re-pubic and some other prep shop which are all under the same parent company. You can look up the stocks.

ditto

I bought a pair of shoes there once for $7. But in general I shy away from going inside. Something about that store puts a knot in my stomach.

I just bought a locust album there. and there was a shirt there that I almost got that said "you don't have to be dope to do drugs"

im to poor to shop at any place. i just steal my clothes from my friends.

Steve, I adore you.

This is the best thing that could be said on the topic.

I used to get undies there. They have cute panties Oh and toys.. I like toys!
Sorry.. did I miss some sort of debate? *creeps back out of thread*

Not all punks have access to their parents sewing kits.

buy what ya want from where ya want..dont let anyone tell ya different unless they are buyin it for ya.

This struck me as funny.. If you have the money to shop at Hot Topic, you can afford to buy a needle and thread. I never had a sewing machine, but I did my own stuff by hand.
