vCJv EmoXPickles_________x Yeah I can admit I like the stuff they have there but if you look at the custormers you wonder wtf they're doing in that store. That's the only reason why I don't like it. (Well, that's how it's like here, all the customers are preps you'd see in Forever 21 or Abecrombie and Fitch) Yeah sometimes some of the people in there dont exactly belong there but I dont think they make Hot Topic poserish. Meh, it does cause some poserism. I mean, it makes the clothes more populare, and soon kids are wearing it just to be cool. Then comes the goth against goth thing, because no one knows who the posers are and who the real goths are. At least, that's how things are here. Well, for me because not many people hang out with me. The ones that do are anime fans who prefer dark colors and are into vampires and other things in the gothic sub-culture, but aren't considered goth.
I've seen 4 or 5 girls walking in Hot Topic, single file, and they where wearing really preppy clothing. Most likely they where just looking for purses.

Most of the Hot Topic stores in my vicinity have gone rather pop-emo... there's still some gothy stuff there, but you really have to search for it.
Anyways, I don't really see anything wrong with shopping at HT, but thier stuff seems to be expensive, especially for the quality of it ($35 isn't outrageous for a skirt, but it is for a poorly made skirt...). I used to shop there a lot, and I still buy some staples there (hoisery mainly, or if somthing on clearance catches my eye), but now I'm trying to break away from it. I've got no problem with the store, except for the simple fact that if I have somthing from there chances are that several other people from my school have the exact same thing... so now I've turned to making my own clothing.
Also, as far as it being pouser-ish, before I dropped down to honors level classes I didn't have the time to make my own clothing, and my parents wouldn't let me buy clothing online, so I was stuck with either HT or normality. Not everyone who shops there is a goth, nor a pouser, though it may seem that a majority of the people there are pousers... not all of them are.

Some stuff they have is alright, though too expencive for anything I can let myself have, although that's what you'd expect from the A&F franchise. Undoubtedly it's already been mentioned that A&F owns HT (and Torrid) so their clothing will be pouser-y and expencive (welsome to Abecrombie and Fitch, yes, that one square onch of plain, regular, normal cotton will be 75,000$. Oh, why? It's brand name, of course.) Otherwise, they have some decent makeup, and henna tatoos, and their accessories aren't terrible either, the clothes however can use quite some polishing off, especially since sometimes if you don't get a full ensemble of a certain piece of clothing it's difficult to make an outfit work.
Now, I'm not exactly what you'd call 'goth,' not entirely anyways; as a matter of fact as far as clothing goes I'm more inclined to Indie/Scene stuff, only in darker, richer, more sophisticated colors, so it's like a blend of those three fashion elements. I'll get stuff from Hot Topic, should it strike my fancy, although usually it doesn't since I frequent Target and Delia's, getting most of my clothing from cheaper stores, sine I'm geterally tight on cash.
