man i love how nostalgic this is. old hot topic, the camera quality, blink182 blasting over the speakers...this channel hasnt posted in 7 years, these kids are probably adults now and might even have children of their own. abandoned channels are probably one of my favorite things about youtube; so much nostalgia and mystery. hope these two are having a good life :)
I’m 13 and it’s 2023 I’m actually crying bc I missed it now I’m Emo in 2033 best thing I ever did but I get bullied BAD but I ignore the haters and shit sorry that’s cringey
Yeah I went there only a month ago and half of the stuff in there were figures and plushies and keychains and stuff like that and I was like "MAN WHERE IS THE HUGE WALL OF BAND TEES THIS IS PATHETIC!"
I wish hot topic still looked like this :(. They are bringing back things from the 2000s but it still needs a huge upgrade.The biggest thing it needs is more of a focus on emo/goth culture and those gates that acted as doors
I was 12- just old enough to walk around the mall by myself when hot topic looked like this. My sister was into scene music and I was into 90s alternative. My sister was openly scene but I was a cheerleader. We both dragged my sweet Mom into the store. She didn’t quite get it but she was super supportive. I used to go into the store and pretend to *hate it* while picking up my Green Day shirts. I was afraid someone from the cheer team would see me from Aeropostale or something stupid. It was a fun time. You’ll never know which memories you’ll cherish. :)
I miss the old hottopic too but its a store based around pop culture,Emo and alternative fashion was popular back then so the store was emo and alt,Now its disney and anime and egirl shit so the store is filled with it
no fs. i try to stay in the emo section of hot topic nowadays. only studded belts skinny jeans and fitted band tees! Rock on dont let emo ever die, its too good.@@21chemH
I was 10 years old when this was recorded. But I use to be very scared to go near hot topic when I was little. Now I wish I was born earlier so that I could expirence this place in its full glory as a teenager.
I was 16 when this was posted, and as emo as could be. It's really nice to be brought back to actual emo, and not whatever the fuck the kids are calling emo now.
To be fair, I dress somewhat historically accurate emo but kids like new stuff. Some of the new fashion I see aren’t really historically accurate. Many of it looks like grunge and not something what the 2000s would wear.
I wish hot topic was like this nowadays. In 2010, I was just a little 9 year old and just exposed to emo culture via the internet. Nowadays, I'd love to come and study the apparel and culture of this store because it amazes me.
My local Hot Topics are filled with 1D, JB, and Wiz Kalifa like ok yes 1D isnt that bad (dont judge me) but like seriously I remember being 8 and my sister would go and it would be dark and filled with awesome band merch and would play Slipknot and bands like that can we bring back the old Hot Topic please thanks
i wish i was a teenager earlier to experience the good old hot topic in the 2000s. nowadays, whenever if i enter a hot topic store at the mall, it's just all disney and anime-friendly stuff. now in 2022-2023, i learned more about the emo/scene culture on the internet and i wanted to get those type of clothes that i want for my interest.
I came here from seeing this on TikTok. I was 14 when this was posted. I hated everything about my life during these days but now as I’m nearing 30, somehow I’m missing these times. I know I sound like a boomer but please try to live out your youth while you have it if you’re a kid or teen watching and don’t let other peoples opinions/judgment stop you.
I was a senior in high school around the time this was posted. The studded belts bring so much memories back, and the window shopping with a friend when you're flat broke...I had one of those car seat buckle belts and like 20 handkerchiefs i'd wear around my neck. Videos like this reminded me that as miserable as I was growing up, I still always had my friends, and there were so many other kids attracted to alt culture because they felt the same way. I'm happy it happened, and I wish I could give teen me the hug they needed, but I'm so happy it's over too LMAO. 🖤
Bruh...i was born in 2010 i wish i was born in 2000 so i could have a funner childhood and plus i live in a place filled with normies and no alt kids like me. :(
damn, I wish I was brave enough to actually live out my inner scene kid so I could have hung with people like these who I thought were super cool and actually liked the same music I did and weren't so toxic.
my Hot Topic really only plays rock and stuff in that line. with the occasional rap song. one time Call Me Maybe came on and one guy working there begged the woman behind the counter to change it.

It's literally like a time machine, holy shit.
Who else rembers being 13 14 sitting outside of the deptford mall which I hibk this one was filmedin
I’m 13 and it’s 2023 I’m actually crying bc I missed it now I’m Emo in 2033 best thing I ever did but I get bullied BAD but I ignore the haters and shit sorry that’s cringey
100% agree!
FR Being a teenager in 2024 is boring.
2000s Hot Topic: Dark and dingy
2022 Hot Topic: Glorified Disney shop
Seriously?!
At least it isn't box lunch
(place is just the disney store but for adults)
@@STUFF955might aswell be
Its still pretty emo. Like band tee, studded belt, accessory, and skinny jeans wise.
They should make it dark and dingy again brooo
aw the little kiss and the fact he’s just so happy to be in this store with her i’m smiling so hard
Hot Topic isn't as near as cool as it use to be 7 years ago. Miss these days.
Yozoras World Yeah, there's a lot more stuff that I would buy in there in 2010 as opposed to now.
Yozoras World yeah agreed, Hot Topic needs to go back to how they used to be unlike how they are now
Boomer Emos, that's something
2020
Yozoras World yeah, i agree
is no one gonna talk about how fucking massive and good that belt section is
they only have like two colors of studded belts now
Yep I noticed that too, now
You have to buy it online now
My closet in 2009. So nostalgic
Literally every clothing store in the late 2000s.
the belts are just one thing. the fact they had an entire shoe wall and haven’t had any in stores in years is pretty sad
Yeah I went there only a month ago and half of the stuff in there were figures and plushies and keychains and stuff like that and I was like "MAN WHERE IS THE HUGE WALL OF BAND TEES THIS IS PATHETIC!"
AND LOL THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE MUSIC LOVES BLINK-182
hahah ikr
i miss the old hottopic
me too
like i REALLY miss the old hot topic
i know....and all they sell now is stupid fucking 5sos and 1d bullshit
not hating on doctor who either but cant stuff like that be sold at f.y.e opposed to hot topic? i mean...it used to be all about music
ikr!!!
This should be preserved in yt history forever
I wish hot topic still looked like this :(. They are bringing back things from the 2000s but it still needs a huge upgrade.The biggest thing it needs is more of a focus on emo/goth culture and those gates that acted as doors
YES
It was awesome back then
I wish there was a store just dedicated to emo styles or just early 2000s stuff in general.
God I wish I was a teenager during this time
Same
Same dude

I miss how fucking cool hot topic used to be
Still sort of is but my is so uncool since it is so small
@@citlaliargueta3306 the anime stuff ruined it
@@Lolgaaayyy as much as I like anime, they did ruin it with a lot of that stuff. Keep the emo stuff at hot topic and anime stuff at Spencer’s
@@Lolgaaayyy I like anime, but the Disney stuff gotta go
@@Lolgaaayyyreal, its too much disney n anime >;(
Man how I miss the old Hot Topic the new one is just pop culture now

@@21chemH true true

i swear i entered this store once in nyc and felt so at home..i so want this to be my new look cuz it really express how i feel inside
I need a Hot Topic to come to Ireland. Now.
Pretty late comment but, I'm annoyed that Hot Topic isn't available at any other part of the world, only america ;-;
@@tinx713 I agree ;-;

I miss THIS hot topic. I grew up shopping there since I was 8 years old.
I was 16 when this was posted, and as emo as could be. It's really nice to be brought back to actual emo, and not whatever the fuck the kids are calling emo now.

if hot topic was in new zealand id be at hot topic 24/7 trust me
I miss the late 90s hot topic when mine had a black gate for an entrance 💀
And now Hot Topic is basically Claire’s but with very very few emo stuff 😢
Why does there is no place like that where I live... THIS IS LIKE PARADISE !
Love these times, and people
this feels so nostalgic for some reason
i see preps in hot topic im like wtf go back to zumez
They are preps wishing to be Emo XD.
I love watching these old videos. I’m 29 this year but I miss the emo/scene days lol
you’re so lucky you got to experience that omg, im 16 n i’d KILL to be a teenager in the 2000’s when scene and emo was popular
Me too, I am 28
I miss these times too. I'm 31 now 😅
2010 was so lit
i was born in that year, i wish i was born back then it seemed way better then now
He's soooo cute omg lol

Why is it so accurate tho XD
Say it ain't so I will not go Turn the lights off Carry me home...Classic
I love hot topic. But my mom don't take me there cuz she doesn't want me to become emo....too late
I would kill to go to a hot topic that isn’t 50% anime and Harry Potter merch and 50% actual emo stuff
Me too lol, although metal and punk shops do exist plus thrift stores
@@caitlingill yeah but I live in the middle of nowhere so hot topic is kinda all I got lol
Bro looks so happy I love it
The struggles I'm going through then this pops up on my FYP 13 years later and solves 99% of my problems

Björk playing in the back makes this video better
Hot topic when it wasn’t an anime/ Disney store
Is it just me or did Hot Topics have more stuff back then?
The ones I go to now feel weirdly empty.
yeah, idk what’s up with that tbh. i’ve only been in the hot topic in the mall of georgia once and never in a hot topic again but god it felt so empty

Please bring me back at 2011
i feel like shopping more at HTopic
holy crap, this is the most 2000s thing ive ever seen and im here for it.
Eh not really. This vid is from 2010. When I think of pure 2000's I think of 2007-1998.
i miss when hottopic was cool
I remember I would always be afraid to walk into hottopic as a kid... then i turned 12
look at all the belts!! i want them all XD
The hot topic I go to is probably half the size but it's full of everything. Not much room to walk but I still love it.
This video is a time capsule
to be alive in that era 💔
I was a senior in high school around the time this was posted. The studded belts bring so much memories back, and the window shopping with a friend when you're flat broke...I had one of those car seat buckle belts and like 20 handkerchiefs i'd wear around my neck. Videos like this reminded me that as miserable as I was growing up, I still always had my friends, and there were so many other kids attracted to alt culture because they felt the same way. I'm happy it happened, and I wish I could give teen me the hug they needed, but I'm so happy it's over too LMAO. 🖤
Emls are the heart and soul of hot topic
LOOK AT ALL THOSE BELTS BRO 😭 HOT TOPIC NOW DONT EVEN GOT THAT MANY NOW😭😭
Also look at the converse and vans, not many people talk about it but they had them back in the day.
(Sigh) the golden age of hot topic
Bring back old hot topic!!! :c
status: crying
So surprised to hear Björk on Hot Topic lmao
Its weird, I was 20 when this was filmed, and would roll my eyes at this version of Hot Topic. Now at 34, I miss this one big time
Wow 20010 now it's 2020.
Largest and coolest Hottopic I have ever seen!
I miss these days.
Gosh i want a relationship like that
I just got goosebumps from this
Oh man. This took me back. Now I’m reminiscing about the old days and hanging out in Hot Topic with the homies. Man.
That's exactly what everyone does in hot topic. They record them selves. xD
i love hot topic but when i leave the store im broke lol
I really appreciate videos like this. This uploader is so goated
Bruh...i was born in 2010 i wish i was born in 2000 so i could have a funner childhood and plus i live in a place filled with normies and no alt kids like me. :(
I wish hot topic was still like this ☹️
i miss the old hottopic that was more dark not all colorful and main stream
this will be studied years later
damn, I wish I was brave enough to actually live out my inner scene kid so I could have hung with people like these who I thought were super cool and actually liked the same music I did and weren't so toxic.
wishing it was 2010 :-/
hot topic actually looked fun then
When hot topic was cool
my Hot Topic really only plays rock and stuff in that line. with the occasional rap song. one time Call Me Maybe came on and one guy working there begged the woman behind the counter to change it.
I WANT ALL THE EMO STUFF SO BAD 😿😿
that blink 182 tho
0:45 throwin up the RAWR GANG x PREP KILLA signs :ooo
look at a fellow emo in our natural habitat. =) watch as he dances.
ii wish hot topic was this cool still. now its just a disney store with the occasional billie eillish t shirt
I really got the urge to dance because of Blink182.
'sweetie why are you dancing?'
-does a flip-'Carry me homenanananananana!'
IM STILL EMO IN 2019 FUCK WIT ME
"Its not a phase mom"
that hottopic is HUGE
RW:dude is in paradise
Only one Hot Topic in SF and its glaringly obvious how small it is.
A true portal to the past 😢. I miss the mid 2000s
Blink-182 playing in the background at the beginning of this video.Blink-182 "I Miss You" playing in the background at the end of the video
Blink-182
I'm jealous
shoutout the 2010 spencers clerk hosting bjork off the ipod mini
This is hot topic bruh, if it was spencers they wouldnt had gone to the back
Oh my god i wish they had shops like this nowadays its so hard to find clothes like this
hot topic in the 2000s is so much better than now
Then I remembered I applied for a job at HotTopic.
omg... joga playing in hot topic im shook
