Hot Topic

A store that sells band merch, things with funny sayings on them, random Disney items, and many other things. They're most popular amongst teenagers but some adults shop there too. I personally shop there for band merch and skinny jeans. They sell mostly black clothes and things considered Emo or Goth
Omg hot topic is the greatest store ever.

Hot topic is sooooo emo lol

Hot Topic

A store that sells a more alternative style of clothing that resembles something made at home. A great store for people who like that style but do not have the ability to make their own clothing. Also sells pop culture items such as Nightmare before Christmas and Doctor who stuff

Hot Topic

A store where people of the Punk/Goth/Emo cliques go to shop. Shopping at this store, doesn't mean you are unique..but it doesn't mean you aren't. Yes, some of their clothes are expensive, but it's tons cheaper than Hollister or Abercrombie. This store makes nobody a poser. It's there for people who really want to look, "this way" to buy clothes. Considering their are no other actual "punk" stores. Whereas every single store has "prep" clothing.
