Oddness at the mall of america

[OctoberNights]

I know all you ppl who get mad about ppl caring about bands selling out and becoming popular and stuff...but im risking you guys all yelling at me because this was weird.

In the Mid-west we have this store called Hollister...its kinda like and abercrombie type thing...well i was at the mall with my friend and she was like BLAH lets go in there so i walk into hollister and TBS is playing...i think it was you know how i do so im like sweet this is gay then it finally ends and im like phew its over THEN great romances of the 20th century comes on and im like NOOO AHHH and i couldnt take it and my friend was laughing at me cuz i was being mad so shes like ok we can leave this store im like ok ok ok. so then we finally escape the store and right when i walk out seriously RIGHT when i step out theres a girl chillin in front of the store wearing a TBS shirt....seriously it was the weirdest crazyest thing!

[OkayIBeliveYou]

yeah, in like Feb. or something I went into Hollister with my friend and Something Corporate was playing, I was like "oookay" and then I turn to my right and what do I see, SOMETHING CORPORATE shirts, they said something along the lines of "California's Own - SOMETHING CORPORATE - then it said dates on it. I bought one though ;) They also had a huge poster of them and up at the counter they have "punk" CDs (of corse the CDs are like $20 so no one in their right mind would buy one)

[AlwaysPunkin45]

You know why they play it, because PUNK IS SOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL WEEEEEEEEE!

[mirtizzle]

i like hollister. i must be a sellout.

[MaybeOneDay]

I do not care. Who cares what type of people listen to what music or where you hear music playing. If you like it, listen to it. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. It's that simple. Don't pay attention to the crowd.

You are a fucking retard. Never, ever, speak again. Thanks.

Hollister is owned by abercrombie. It uses the music as a form of marketing its clothes. I wouldn't call any bands that you would see or hear in the store sell outs considering that they never said they wouldn't sell out. The cds are ridiculously over priced too.

[MaybeOneDay]

pfff...you think those are overpriced ? we pay 20 bucks minimum for a cd in canada!

[punkbassist]

i suggest you move to the states....oh yea i have a hollister at my mall too.......it sucks too because at warped tour i saw at least 15 people with hollister shirts on...hopefully the "trend" fades out

Also, why does it even matter what clothes you wear? Everyone thinks to be 'punk' you have to skate or be a goth or somethin and thats really kinda gay...I mean honestly, who wants to wear black in 90 degree weather?

I know, I live in Minnesota and I was at the Mall of America and went into Hollister and I was looking at all the cds they had and they were all stuff I liked and I was like, WTF!!! This store is exactly like Abercrombie, so why are they playing good music?!?!? THEN I went into American Eagle one day and they were playin the frickin Get Up Kids and I was upset by it...

Honestly, why the fuck do people care what music is being played where. Just shut the fuck up.

Personally, I'd rather be listening to the get up kids while I'm in a store than some jennifer lopez dance remix.

Aren't the money values different in canada though?

Anyway, I don't care what's on the radio or whats playing when I walk into those stores....because.....I don't walk into them anyway:D

[FAMOUSsas]

bluenotes sells ramones and blink 182 and distillers shirts, they also have these hidious arms band things i got a kick out of those it would be funnier if i saw someone wearing it though. oh yeah that had no point.

Good point...theres no reason to get upset that good music is breaking through to the mainstream. If you were a TBS fan before they were big why should you care now. Its still the same song. One time in best buy i heard FSF being played and I was ecstatic because they are one band that really deserves as much exposure as they can get, even if it is over a store PA.

[PuddinRckr]

Ok, this thread is really dumb. First of all, what the hell does it matter what stores play TBS or the Get Up Kids? Maybe they LIKE that music... just a thought. And who cares if Hollister is making "punk" clothes. We all know YOU'RE not gonna buy them so stop complaing about it. I bought a Something Corporate shirt from Hollister so I guess I'm a sellout now... whatever. The trends are gonna come and go... we know this. So stop making stupid ass threads about it.

[13th hour]

No one should ever make another post. Ever. Period. About anything.

heh, just kidding but i mean, cmon, who cares if Hollister was playing TBS? we all know hat punks a big trend right now (goddamned good charlotte), so why do we care? Itll be over soon enough.

I've heard brand new, get up kids, further seems forever, and a bunch of other shit on the PA in Best Buy. It made me happy.

[mirtizzle]

honestly, it just baffles me how much people care about silly shit.

[FAMOUSsas]

actually i enjoy it when stores play songs i like, and when they do i get really excited and stay in the store till its over. like one time they were playing an afi song in bluenotes, oh man that made me happy.
