Can't really comment on Hot Topic as such since we don't (as far as I'm aware) have them in England but there is a store which I imagine is somewhat similar in nature where I live called Blue Banana. It's over priced and boring in my opinion. Everyone who shops there regularly ends up looking exactly the same as all their individual little friends. I admit to buying the occasional item from there but I find that I much prefer to buy my stuff in so called *normal* shops. In all honesty though, I don't care if shops like that are trying too hard, it makes no difference to me and if people want to shop there and look exactly like everyone else then they can go right ahead. I'm old enough now to realize that I don't need to look outrageously alternative anymore. I'm quite comfortable being myself without the need to declare my allegiance to an alternative lifestyle to everyone who passes me by.
