My friend and I were bored, so we stopped by an Urban Outfitters at the mall to look around. It was basically tumblr and /mu/: the store. They even had ITAOTS and Grimes vinyls for sale.

I now realize that /mu/ really is just full of a bunch of entry-level hipsters.

Musical obscurity actually has to do with the internal meaning of the music and not popularity. Music with darker subject matter is similarly lesser known for that reason. Especially little known music tends to be a replica of greater acts anyway. You've taken the hipster cred cliche too literally.

I have never been in this store before but I checked out their web catalog just now. They have some nice things but seem very overpriced for what looks like typical Chinese sweatshop clothes. Are their clothes better quality than other junior's mall stores or are they just catering to a market with more disposable income?

The later, I usually go to the surplus store in the city, I bought a $130 jacket for $10 because it was out of season.

Also, if it helps, Target (laugh all you want NEETs) is starting to sell "similar" clothing, so you can try there if you want.
