*My Personnal Opinion* is that Hot Topic, though not the best source for all things goth, is not entirely unacceptable. If someone wants to wear something from there, that doesn't make them any more or less "goth". after all, are we not a subculture that prefers to judge by actions and not appearences( if we judge at all)? Besides, there are alot of people living in small towns that simply don't have access to anything better or the money to order online. The town I grew up in is 4 hours from the nearest Hot Topic..anyone want to guess how far it was from anything better? let's just say TOO FAR. I myself make some of my clothes from things I find in the Hot Topic in the city i drive to to see my doctor. Whether you made it, bought it, or stole it..clothes are clothes. In the end, why does anyone care so much?
