I absolutely hate Hot Topic, this business sells alternative style clothing, music, accessories, dvds, and toys, with movies coming out like Napoleon Dynamite, Star Wars Episode 3, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, they try to make a dime off of everything they can get their hands on just to make a buck. From Willy Wonka prop hats to "Vote for Pedro" tshirts, to Nintendo Controller belt buckles. Geek and Punk rock is now a trend. This hurts cultural development because it makes the youth think that popularity and lifestyle can change with a pricetag.
