Hot Topic

The store that is single-handedly killing emo and goth styles. Cookie monster and Fred t-shirts aren't either of these styles nor is ANYTHING else in that social media market they call a store. The only thing that could be considered emo/goth is their music collection, but bands like Blood On The Dance Floor are making sure to fuck things up as well. Though if you are going for that "super awesome and totally not retarded" scene look, you have come to the right place.
Person 1: Anyone else remember emos and goths from back in the day, when they actually meant something besides lots of makeup, crying, shit music and shopping at Hot Topic?

Mindless Slave: Pfffff, no! Now loan me $120 so i can buy a cookie monster shirt and BOTDF's newest and most epic *cough cough* auto-tuned shit *cough cough* totally emo album!!!!!!!

Hot Topic

N.) a shop for clothes, shoes, and lots of random things. a generally "darker" style, but contains merchandise suitable to different tastes. gay to decent to cool range of products, often not worth the price.
Sarah just bought a fairly cool dress at Hot Topic, but it cost like 200 fucking dollars. Damn.

Hot Topic

Coming from someone who gets all clothes from there and has never stepped foot in Aeropostale; Hot Topic is the dominant sub-culture store. Its not for clones who wear the same thing, its for the exact opposite really. No, its not a preppy store in the least; if u dont like it stop searching it. Its a killer store with great clothes and loads of other stuff. Its not an Emo/Goth store; labels are for pussys.
Zomg,, i need a new band shirt, this ones like a week old; TO HOT TOPIC!
