For 90s babies like myself, seeing the Hot Topic logo brings back a flood of memories.
Your awkward teen years. Those disgusting convertible cargo pants/shorts that were a somehow a thing in the mid-2000s. Hitting the mall and debating how much stuff you should steal with your friends. Sprite Remix. Axing long-term friendships because they started listening to Slipknot. Good times.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with Ohio State playing Northwestern tonight, other than the Wildcats are wearing some Hot-Topic ass uniforms, and I’m all out of other column ideas.
