    I come from the mid 90s to early 2000s era Hot Topic. I’m smiling right now because the second and third pictures bring back MAJOR memories. I even put on Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare All) by Type O Negative as soundtrack.

    Good times! You should consider creating a retro Hot Topic store. It would only sell alternative clothing and merchandise circa 1990 to 2004. It would have storefront and decor as seen in the second picture. I assure you it would draw a crowd. Us fogeys like to reminisce sometimes. 😉

    Oh my god, back in the mid 2000s when i was younger i used to be TERRIFIED of hot topic because of their big scary gates. i think they got rid of them (at least in my local mall) before i started shopping there myself.
