So yeah, today in my Driver's Ed class I was debating this with a friend of mine. Uncharacteristic of me I know, but we didn't have anything else to talk about.
Anyway, I said I like Spencers better. I mean, when I walked into Hot Topic, it just screamed, "Posers" to me. The type of store where someone would buy a Motley Crue shirt, and not know a single Motley Crue song.
Spencers on the otherhand, gave me that...

...feel. I walked in there and felt like I wasn't in Emo heaven. More like rocker heaven.
Also another thing that won me over was the choice of music. Spencers was playing like Saliva or something, while Hot Topic was playing like, Hawthorn Heights or something.
But yeah, similar stores, but which one do you prefer?
