some of the friendliest employees you'll ever meet.
They will come up and start talking to anyone like they are best friends.
They don't discriminate if you are wearing "non-dark" clothing...
So nice you almost feel like you are getting hit on
I went into Hot Topic in soccer shorts and track t shirt and the hot topic employees were still friendly with me.

I thought that hot topic guy was hitting on me until I found out it was all a part of his job. Those child predators lurking outside was another story...gross...

Get the hot topic employee mug.
An annoying immature preteen, teenager or young adult who thinks its cool to shop at hot topic and does so souly for that reason. They buy band tees of bands they've never even heard of, and think that wearing wristbands with posessed cartoons on them is all there is to life. Most will eventually grow out of this horrible stage of adolescence but some never do. Sad, but very true.
So I was in the mall, and all of a sudden I see this group of hot topic kids swarming around one of those kiosks that sold shirts with sarcastic messages printed across the front. It was like a swarm of flies on a dead carcas. Discusting.

Elario: Look at me! I'm so goth because I listen to Good Charlotte and shop at Hot Topic!

Me: Right....

Probably emo or an e-girl/ boy. They like dying their hair purple and cutting half off.

Things they enjoy: nose piercings, Panic! At The Disco, and lowercase typing
they hate everyone!
This is a joke lol XD

Pretty much the worst insult any punk/hardxcore/goth kid can throw at you. Basically you're a spoiled, rich little poser who thinks they're hot shit because they buy pre-ripped, pre-faded $60 jeans to look cool. Hot Topic is the scourge of the punk/grunge scene.
"Dude, check out that hot topic punk, what a fucking poser"

Millennial's that base their pop culture and memes on hot topic merchandise including movies, cartoons & bands they can't identity songs from but damn it looks cool in the store.
Hot topic generation = 20 year old wearing a Ramones tee, "What's rock n roll high school? Blind stare
