it's official

where did you read that? Hot topic hasn't had anything to do with "hardcore" until fairly recently.

When my friend applied there, which i still cant figure out why he did that because he hates mall goths, they gave him a book that told the history of Hot Topic. I suppose thinking back that could be a different history than the way it really went down. Who knows, who cares, they suck now.

Because that's what it is designed to do, and for a long time it was a profitable model. Hot Topic is basicaly satans work.

If it's any comfort their sales have been declining.

it has always actively targeted up and coming subcultures to market to. It's involvement with "hardcore" has been fairly recent, about the same time that trustkill started getting popular. it isn't a coincidence that most of the "hardcore" bands you'll find in hot topic are from trustkill and victory.

That is comforting actually, thank you.



I hope that they go out of business. Because to all of my knowledge there isnt a single other store that does that.

So these bands and these record companies have absolutely no problem basically, destroying their reputation among people that actually listen to Hardcore by selling their merchandise at Hot Topic.
