...how is having either of those stores a good thing?

Just to clarify, GAP has never Hot Topic. Hot Topic is it's own indenpendtly running clothing chain. The idea of ownership by GAP originated when the older generation became pissed off at the company for moving away from it's old goth roots (supporting bands like Bauhaus, The Cure, TSOL and Depeche Mode) and started turning into the mainstream farce it is today.
