On Saturday, I went to Jonesboro to see what was at the mall there and get more bedding for my snake. The only store to contain more than one item I would buy was Gamestop. The rest of the stores contained nothing. One store in paticular, one that started as an underground music store, drove me insane with the now sadly out of place music.
The store, Hot Topic, used to be against the mainstream with people who actually listen to a band's entire albums. To draw in money and follow the trends, the store turned into a monstorsity that speaks of rebellion.
The true face of the story happens to be like the mainstream. Hot Topic tries to be different but with all the fake followers shopping causually, the store now would be attacked and beaten by the old version of the store.
Even with this, I will probably end up buying a shirt from the website to avoid the dread of seeing the people that shop there. There's always the band's personal website though.
