in my opinion hottopic is becoming more rediculous every year. it just makes it easier for ignorant 12 year olds to go buy pants that look rediculous anyways and then label themselves "gawfickk"

Well if they call themselves 'gawfikk' then I guess they aren't fooling anybody, are they.
BTW - who in the hell talks like that?

I think that Hot Topic selling Slipknot/Korn/Manson shirts, cd's and shit is just insulting to the subculture. They promote posers! If they could just lose the overhyped band merchandise and start playing some gothic music in their store, they would totally be the shit! Oh, and lower the prices, too. By the way, I happen to own a pair of those Tripp pants with blue stitches and I love them! That's what really matters.

I don't think Hot Topic claims to be a Gothic store. If you look in there, if anything, it's for Emos, Punks, and really expensive poseurs.
But I will say, in my beautiful hipocracy... I do frequent the store and look at shirts. Not t-shirts, but the "fashion shirts," as they dub them on their website.

You can buy band shirts and then cut them up and make corsets and all sorts of cool stuff. My belly is too round to wear them now, but the first shirt I made was a Sublime corset, with yellow rose fabric/black Sublime sun.
The prices on band shirts aren't all that bad.

You may be right. Maybe that's why they never play any goth music. I do happen to see a lot of goths in there... or people who at least look like them.

Arc~ I think it just depends on where you live.. The Hot Topic here is always playing VNV Nation, Frontline assembly, pig... etc.

That's true. You never really can know if someone's goth until you know them personally.

Hot Topic is not a non-profit organization created to further the cause of gothdom. The purpose of Hot Topic is to sell things and make money... same as any other mall store.
The music and clothing styles vary depending on what area you're in... same as any other store. If goth stuff sells, they hang up goth clothes and play goth music. If rockabilly stuff sells, they hang up rockabilly clothes and play rockabilly music. If emo stuff sells, they hang up emo clothes and play emo music. Not hard to follow, huh?
And I can go no further in this thread without stating my distaste for Tripp pants. I think they're the ugliest fashion concoction I've ever seen. Last time I checked, my ankles were a hell of a lot smaller than my waist - so why on earth would I want pants with ankles twice as big as the waist? However, I do have to applaud the manufacturers for the irony in the brand name.

I'd rather wear pants where the leg openings are bigger than the waist than wear pants with hideous tapered legs any day. My pant legs aren't THAT wide, but they're definitely bigger than my ankles.

Two of my guy friends actually do look good in Trippp jeans... one's kind of short and stocky and it just sort of loks natural on him *shrugg* But yeah.... I wouldn't wear them. They just look *blah* on me.
One time he said something that I didn't like so I tried to kick him in the shins, but I completely missed because of his tripp pants.
"What? Did you actually think these pants are the contour of my body?!" said he with hearty chortle.
Wow. I typed "heary chortle"... it's late and I'm lame.

Fallenfromgrace, I have no earthly idea as to what you were getting at in that post. Punctuation is your friend.

I like Hot Topic, they have some cool stuff there. I wont blame the preppies and wanna be's shppong there on the store, but then again, I understand that they do have to sell what the customers want. The Hot Topic here is usually full of preps, even the people working there are kinda preppy, I hate it. What hypocricy. I love Tripp pants, I have a few of them. But the pricing is a little high for the quality of their clothing. I am learning to sew my own clothes and have made a few cool shirts, so hopefully I can wear my own clothes, and just buy stuff at Hot Topic to use as material and accessories.

Yeah, tapered legs don't look good on anyone. I admit I was reluctant at first to move to boot-cut pants - I have this weird dislike for fabric flapping around my ankles - but I soon realized that boot-cut is much more flattering. I can't stand high-waisted pants.
I have no problem with pant legs bigger than my ankle, I just don't want them bigger than my waist. 30" waist opening, 60" ankle opening... er, NO!

I have noticed that too. A lot of the pants I have are too big around the waste and too long so I wither have them rolled up or they are torn. I get used to it I guess. All I have are pants from Hot Topic. Good thing I am learning to sew; I can make my own. I have a lot of cool ideas too-way better than Hot Topic!

Heh... Mine tend to be whatever measurement rides enough below my navel to be comfortable (varies according to where they ride, usually around 29-30") and about a 20-24" leg opening.
Although there is the one pair I've got where the leg opening is about the same size as my waist, but that's beside the point.

It's hard to find jeans that ride the hip and ass well. Equally hard to find a shirt that fits in the waist and the chest. And I am not even that large chested. Hot Topic is actually one of the worst- there, I am a size 13, but in a regular store, I am a 10. (My wedding dress was an 18. WTF? I am smaller now than when I tied th eknot. We should open a wedding dress store and run the sizes large so every woman/person in a dress can be a size 6 on their special day)
Shudder. I usually buy J-Lo's jeans for this reason. They are cut for chicks with, shall we say, generous hips and soccer legs. And shirts I have learned to tailor.
