Hot topic won’t go back to “the old hot topic” because punk, goth, scene, and emo fashion isn’t as popular as it was back then. They change based on what’s popular or trending. So their stores will change once the kpop nerd thing dies down lol who knows what’s next. Future former Kpop kids 10-15 years later from now will be making videos about how they miss their “old hot topic” 😂😭

HT follows the hottest trends of the years. That's why goth, scene, and punk is no more, or well, not as prominent as it was. I just recently stepped foot in a HT and I did see punk/goth-inspired clothing but not much. I believe scene, goth, and punk will come back to HT. I remember the early 2000's when Tripp pants and trench coats adorned the walls. Displays of SLG comics and books by Voltaire, and Joseph Vargo. I would pick up change I would find around town and used it to fund my comic collections (most cost $2.95@HT). One day I walked in and NONE of that awesome stuff existed anymore. It makes sense trends change, and stores have to keep up with it. I miss the 2000's goth :( with my art I still try my best to keep it going. Goth, scene, and punk is not dead it's more underground nowadays.

@dacringeyfangirl3 жыл бұрын
@@zimmylolz7702yes. What I mean is that the reason why Hot Topic isn’t the same as it was like 15 years ago is because they’re evolving with the trends for MONEY. I understand people’s points, but they’re acting like as if Hot Topic became a clone of Aeropostale or Hollister, when in reality it just became more of a pop culture store that still has its punk/emo roots. But if they want a store that caters to specifically scene and emo kids, they can make their own store. Like start off of an Etsy site and then go from there. It’s kinda like how goths have all of their own stores.

Weeb, and 80s kid dressing best freinds) bit the other students around me, like once I was askig my slightly strange freind "trinity" (yes this is her name but it's basic enough to not tell anything about her) about how would a fuby technically be a preditor considering there forward facing eyes and I eventually got to the topic of general furby mods such as long furbys and I found and amazingly dome nodded furb with a large mouth split right through he middle with excellently replaced green fur and Long gremlin legs (I'm talkin right out of the movie gremlins like those legs) and the girl next to me whose somehow acquainted with trinity (her name is very ambiguous being simply "paradise which ...while strange is very inconspicuous) and she goes ( in a "somewhat joking but now really" tine) your weird, qhy do I sit next to you, now to this day we still sit in general proximity at lunch and I still sit next to her in class but the question gave me a bit of a different...um..feeling about her I guess,Ike thers are other in my school that I knwo are like me that I am kinda like...eering to want to be Freinds with (I love my freinds and would never want to replace them in anyway as they helped me so much emotionally and mentally) but can't quite seem to grasp like thwrs this .girl...(very common and ambiguous name so I'll just say...uh...J here I guess) "J" who shares many interests with me and I did often talk to her in art (untill seats got mives today *of course* ..justasiwastrynamakeamove) and like, yeah I have terrible trouble finding thoese obscure hot topic kids ...just liek me....gosh that's gone on for too long, sorry I k wo no one will read this far but still nice to just type out into the abyss lile this there was still gonna be alot more but I'll quit for now
