You must be remembering an alternate reality or, more likely, hadn't stepped foot in one and were relying on what you saw on South Park. While it wasn't always Pop!s (mostly because those weren't around at the time), it was never just a goth/punk store.

Did/Do you do a lot of shopping at stores that sell corporate packaged goth to wannabe pubescent girls, NMB?

Again it doesn't matter to you what that store is as you'll never be in it as you don't leave the house.

I can safely say that, as of 25 years ago, Hot Topic was still a cynical attempt to exploit counterculture marketing that made most of its money off selling pop-culture to mall goths and proto-hipsters.
So no, no one on this board remembers it as being an actual goth/punk store. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard!

Look at GS now... if places like Walmart and Target had better Pop selections, it'd be dead overnight.

I dont even know who still buys games from a gamestop I do once in a while. They have a policy at the ones here where I can return it if I don't like it within a week for something else (you can't return the replacement item for that reason). I usually just get Xbox cards though then buy digital sale stuff. Last gen, I probably bought 2-6 new releases per month from them. Now? Maybe 10 per year. The only games I get from them are ones I may want to resell later or return. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 ... Copied to Clipboard!

i never went into hot topic pre-2008 or so, so i dont know what it was really like, but the "goth" kids at school definitely shopped there.

I dont even know who still buys games from a gamestop I probably would if I could afford to. I would probably just order of Amazon or go to Best Buy now though. Otherwise I suppose I could go to a Fry's Electronics. Back when I use to go to one they had a far larger selection for video games than any other store. I have no idea if its any different now. There's only like 3-4 of those stores anyway though. --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms ... Copied to Clipboard!

Target and Wal-Mart already have pretty large Pop! selections; actually, maybe even on par with GS (although obviously not with Hot Topic) Mead posted... I dont even know who still buys games from a gamestop The NMB is strong in this one =p I still see people buying games there, but I mostly just stop there for Pokemon codes and to check out collectibles. Their "open/new" policy -- as well as their prices -- basically killed any interest I might have in getting games from there. Then again, I don't buy maybe games in general these days so it's not really just a GS thing. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

When I worked at Wards, Id go down to the Hot Topic too much to buy stuff because I thought the cashier was really cute. I can relate to this. I used to go to the Hot Topic here cause one of the cashier's was super hot.

I haven't been in one in probably 10 years. But the place was always corporate edgy. I think Daria summed up Hot Topic pretty well.
As far as I can make out, "edgy" occurs when middlebrow, middle-aged profiteers are looking to suck the energy - not to mention the spending money - out of the "youth culture." So they come up with this fake concept of seeming to be dangerous when every move they make is the result of market research and a corporate master plan. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just look at the name. Hot Topic in an edgy font, thus they sell edgy (counterculture) popular stuff.
