Their both pricey! Unless yer parents are together and have decent jobs.
But I'll go with Hot Topic cause I like the clothes and other stuff they have. I haven't actually been to an Hollister store but I do like some of their clothes.
They're both bullshit, and make the people who wear them look like walking advertisements. Anyone who is stupid to blow the kind of money on either one of the stores is an idiot. Sad, but true, you look stupid.
