any of y'all remember when hot topic fell out of favor? and/or when malls stopped being as much of a thing (if they have and I'm not confused) just asking to verify my 'hank's dark secret is that he hung out at hot topic and felt cool there' headcanon
he was born in 85 and it was founded, according to google, in 88. So maybe in the years around 2000 is when he would have shopped there
mid to late 2000s i think, especially once tumblr came around and started calling HT out for stealing art
yeah, another 84 and probably around the early 2000s, it was just peaking when I was there, Invader Zim was on and it was the done thing in middle school/high school
cool, thanks guys! I remember it being The Hip Thing but I was never cool and didn't spend much time at the mall XD
