"Both alike in dignity" lol hot topic was not a very cool place to shop in 2005
I'll take your word for it! I'm from the wrong continent, but I've heard tales of these strange and wondrous locations
They were very cool, but people who shopped at hot topic were bullied relentlessly
I'd argue the kids who were bullied relentlessly ended up shopping at hot topic
This is it. Hot topic was always mainstream counterculture. There was stuff popular people liked (Hollister, Abercrombie), and there was stuff that people who didn't like popular people liked, and for the latter you went to hot topic.
Then where did you get manic panic?
Was the other store any better?
Pacsun was a more preppy style, more popular with the cool kids
Maybe Volcom and Zumiez?
