Hot Topic

A nationwide chain store that cannily markets pre-packaged "individuality" to droves of teenagers and young people who really want to be just like everybody else. A big hit with fans of Avril, Evanessence, etc.

Today's Hot Topic: The irony inherant in teens who buy their entire look from a nationwide chain store in order "to be different".

the genious that invented it prolly made a lot of money- however, he made me emberassed to listen to slipknot.

He also killed the punk-goth scene and slowly bringing the hXc scene down as well.

watch in 3 years, the 12 year olds are gonna start wearing tight pants and hxc band shirts. their already selling Remembering Never shirts!

baggy pants- 50 dollars
slipknot shirt- 16 dollars
choker- 15 dollars
bracelets- 20 dollars
socks- 12.99

looking like a complete idiot and putting an end to the gothic culture. priceless

A cool store that is often judged as being a place for posers and people paradoxically trying to be unique. Actually, it has some pretty good merchandise.

I was being stupid and shallow for judging Hot Topic. I shop there not because I want to be unique, but because I actually like the stuff.

Oi, it's just a store. Not only for posers. I found a cool Ramones t-shirt there.

Person1: Hey do you like hot topic?
Person2: Ew no, they only sell emo band stuff there, and other stupid worthless crap.
Person1: You ignorant fool, since when are bands like the Ramones emo?

A store where psuedo-punks/goths go buy their identity. I mean, clothes. Watch out, those kids that shop at Hot Topic sure are rebellious, I mean, what can be more rebellious than feeding a multi-million dollar company by buying a crapy overpriced Good Charlotte shirt to look different like everyone else? Buying a GG Allen shirt from some run down, fishy looking store owned by some shady looking dude? Nah.

You guys! I just bought this shirt with a pentagram on it! Isn't it cool! Daddy wouldn't let me buy it with his credit card, but since I'm so rebellious I stole it from him! Probation, here I come! I mean... The darkness that is my soul craved the dark energy emitted from this shirt showing my love for my dark lord. Yeah.

A store found in malls around the U.S where people can buy retro-looking clothes and music tees. Alot of people say it is a store for poseurs, but it is actually just a store that some poseurs shop at. Most of the morons that say that shit shop there themselves. Lay off.

Hot Topic sells some decent clothing.

A place that preppy "teeny" rich kids shop to steal fashion statements from a rocker image that exhisted long before they were born.

Didn't they use to make fun of us for wearing leather, spikes, and black about 5 years ago? My life is now being sold in the mall.
