Bring Back Old Hot Topic Merchandise


Bring Back Old Hot Topic Merchandise
The Issue
Hot Topic is a chain mall retail store that sells merchandise related to pop culture. Hot Topic has always been known for selling products found in alternative culture.
Within the last few years, Hot Topic's selection has dwindled into Disney and Anime products. This has made many customers unhappy as they feel this does not represent Hot Topic.
Many people feel disappointed as the majority of the store is reserved for selling plushies, shirts, pants, hoodies, etc of every popular anime/Disney movie.
Although Hot Topic's merchandise revolves around what's "in," a lot of us agree it should carry more products that are in alternative subcultures. This includes corsets, rubber bracelets, band shirts of more alternative bands instead of pop stars, TRIPP NYC, layering items, skirts/tutus, studded belts, etc anything that is usually found in the Alternative Community. I couldn't name them all here - only a few examples - but a lot of people loved what Hot Topic used to carry in the late 90s to the mid 2000s.
Many of us can guarantee the company would generate a lot more revenue and profit selling these items. The goth, scene, emo, punk, egirl, etc communities are begging for this!
So, please sign and leave a comment suggesting merchandise Hot Topic should bring back or create.
