There goes another one calling Hot Topic an emo and goth store,if you knew shit about the goth subculture,you would know that most "Hardcore Goths" hate hot topic because they believe it is a false representation of their true fashion.Hot Topic doesn't even sell any goth rock albums(Besides HIM).They sell mostly products to do with rock music and it's many numbers of subgenres and subcultures.66.82.9.79
