a store that caters to people who wish to dress in clothing that suits their preference. usually people who are into some sort of scene or listen to different types of rock music, usually punk, hardcore, and metal.
hot topic isn't any different from any other store because it still is a store. however, there are a lot more down to earth people at hot topic that i have met than i did at abercrombie & fitch or hollister.

A Store nothing more. A store based on music. Some people who shop there consider themselves "goth" or "punk". Most people call it a "poser store" but your only a poser if you consider youself "goth" or "punk" because you shop there. I personally started shopping there after i saw some cute stuff from there in seventeen magazine and checked out the site. I fell in love with half the stuff there and love it. The stuff there is more my style than some other stores. But i dont consider myself "goth" or "punk" or a "rebel" because I shop there.
Poser- Im going to shop at hot topic Im SOO cool im going to buy a *Ramones T-shirt so every thinks im cool and retro!
Normal person- Wow i like that bag Im going go buy it, not because it makes me think im cool, because i actually like it
* No Offense to the Ramones, Awesome band

A store that sells alternative clothing for punks/goths/emos. Which is funny because no real punk/goths (except the emos) shop at malls. Hot Topic also carries an over-abundance of Tim Burton merchandise, which can get annoying when seen too often.
When you go to Hot Topic, ask yourself; Do you really need a Jack purse with a Sally shirt and a Corpse Bride umbrella? While your at it, Buy a Jack Sparrow Thong!

It's just a regular store that has cool things like band t-shirts. That's why I go there. They have anything from Simple Plan to Iron Maiden to Snoop Dogg. Go there just to buy clothes just like any other store.

a description for a person who thinks he or she is very different, original and rebellious, while in fact, he or she conforms to some "rebellious" teen subculture and buys the appropriate clothing with their rich daddy's money.

You gotta nothin' in your head
You got your ass in the back seat
We all agree you're over fed"

Trend-a-Goth store that sells ugly XL shirts with annoying, overused sayings printed on them. Extremely overpriced and not even worth shoplifting from. Home to many goth and punk posers who come to buy Avril Lavigne t-shirts.
I bought this horribly oversized t-shirt for 50 bucks at Hot Topic, it says "Boy Bands Suck." I'm really making a statement!! Thank you Hot Topic!

The place for rebellious teens who think they're going against the popular trend by buying dirtbaggish clothes, yet are unknowingly giving their money to the same company that runs such preppy places as Abercrombie & Fitch against which they are supposedly rebelling. How's that for being duped, you wannabe hippie scumbags?
I'm such a rebel that I'm gonna go buy all my shitty clothes at Hot Topic, just like everyone el...wait a minute, am I rebelling or am I being f***ed with?!
