I know Hot Topic had been going down hill for a while but I got their new add today and it looks like something from the hills or something 180 degrees from metal.

The Hot Topic near me has about half the store dedicated to Twilight and the other half is a mix of neon colored tight jeans and Invader Zim shit. Me and my friend walked in there when the new Nile CD came out acouple months ago. We couldnt eve find the CD but we saw the new Taylor Swift and the new Justin Beiber albums though. Then we asked the guy working there if they had the new Nile CD. Now the guy looked like a metal guy, he had big gauged ears, tattoos all over his neck and arms, and just generally seemed "Metal". And his reply was, and I kid you not.
My Friend: Do you have the new Nile CD?
Hot Topic Dude: No, I dont think so.
- Me and my Friend looking at each other thinking, WTF?! -
Hot Topic Dude: (long pause while we stare at him in disbelief).........That's a Metal band, right?
- Me and my Friend walk out of the store with a single tear rolling down our faces-
As funny as this is, its sad how true it is.wow you mean its no longer a place to buy all my Insane Clown Posse gear while also being a place that features an "Avril Lavigne" area?
dammit. how am i ever going to boost my scene cred.
i have to admit i have alot of jack skellington nightmare before christmas stuff. but i have been a fan since it came out when I was a junior in highschool lol.
Sounds like we're about the same age, and I'm a big fan too, actually. Of Invader Zim, as well. I just don't feel the need to advertise that by wearing the clothing Hot Topic sells.![]()
It's a shame Jack's legacy has been so raped by the scene culture, but that's just how it goes. I have a Jack wallet, brought it out one time and a friend asked if it was some kind of emo band logo...
