That's why it's a poll, bubbleicious, we're allowed to say who we approve or don't approve of =p
I'm definitely going to have to go with Hot Topic. Pac Sun is nothing more than another one of those awful prep stores like American Eagle, Aeropostale, Hollister, A&F, etc. that give you dirty looks when you go in if you aren't a size -3, and they can almost smell if you're not rich...they're nothing more than stores that boost popular kids' egos by letting them buy trendy, expensive clothing. I'm proud to say that I don't own any clothing from any of those stores...besides, none of it would probably fit me any way. I don't really ever feel the need to run out and buy yet another polo shirt or one of those shirts that have advertisements on the back that are nothing more than poorly-disguised innuendos.
The people who work at Hot Topic may scare me to no end and the music may grate on my nerves so much at times that I have to leave and come back later, but at least they have clothing that represents me, which is pretty much all that matters. I don't shop in their goth departments or any of the seedier quarters of their store, but I can find something every once and a while that absolutely amazes me...they are a bit expensive but I've never bought more than one shirt every month or two from there. Just enough to make me still feel individual...
