What the hell are you guys talking about? Hot Topic was always overpriced crap that was meant to capitalize on whatever subculture happens to be the most popular, right now it is a combo of hipster and emo (hence all of the random crap). This isn't to say that it is terribly evil or that nothing there is worth buying, their clearance racks can have some pretty sweet deals, but it was never about the music, it is owned by a major fucking corporation, it is about making lots of money.
