As I watched the goth kids burn down Hot Topic on south park, I realized I must not be the only person who hates that store.Why do I hate Hot Topic? Below are 13 reasons we should all burn down Hot Topic before it steals our souls.
1. It made goth mainstream
2. It helped create posers
3. It sells Twilight merchandise... Per Se?
4. It sells rap and country t-shirts
5. It claims to be an underground shop, but only mainstream people shop there
6. The music it plays is mostly mainstream crap
7. Emos shop there... EMOS!!!
8. They didn't have a Cure shirt in my size
9. They sell freakin' care bear sweaters
10. They made it hard to tell real goths from posers
11. No one makes their own clothes anymore because of this store. What happened to individuality and showing the mainstream industries you don't need them?
12. Nightmare before Christmas is considered poser now. I loved that movie, Hot Topic ruined it.
13. I can't think of anymore reasons, I just like having thirteen of them.
I guess I should mention I did buy stuff there a couple times. But whenever I do I try to either alter it, or mix it in with non-poser clothes so no one can tell. Still, in order to not be a hypocrite, I'm going to completely avoid the emo-maker from now on.
I've got your 13th reason right here:
ReplyDelete13. They exploited the subculture I love in order to do that most mainstream activity of all - suck every bit of profit out before they chase after the next "edgy" trend. Hot Topic is a capitalist slut with gonorrhea, and it tried to rape us.
