Hot Topic is losing its edge (seriously there was like one rack of fishnets and the rest was branded stuff including Bluey branded stuff) and Spencer’s has been reducing locations.
Yea. The Hot Topic of today is nothing like the Hot Topic of 10 years ago.
It used to be a “counter culture” store but when the Mall era started dying they changed into a “pop culture” store trying to chase profits.
The longer Hot Topic sticks around the more likely they’re gonna end up like the merch side of an EB Games (any Aussies will know what I mean)
EB Games is Canada as well and I know exactly what you mean.
I feel like Funko pops are like an opportunistic infection. When ever you see them it’s not a good sign for the host.
They’re definitely waning, I agree. They’re still around, though. I still go there every once in a while for cheap, body safe jewelry and band t-shirts.
I appreciate that they at least save the really “safe” stuff for their other brand Box Lunch, but they need to let Hot Topic be edgier
