Hot Topic is a store commonly found in many American malls, that sells kids alternative identities in the form of goth, emo, punk, and more recently of the hipster persuasion. Hot Topic at no point was "real", but I wouldn't call all who shop from there posers. Recently it has become worse than fake goth/hollywood satanist and has moved into the place where hype beast come to buy shirts to match their expensive limited edition tacky shoes. They sell pretty cool knick knacks, but not instead of being the store that sells to goth kids, emo's, or scene kids, they have moved into selling Justin Bieber, and other contemporary pop inspired crap.
Eventhough they still sell clothes for Manson or Linkin Park faux goth's, they have moved into more brighter and neutral shit, some of the stuff even looks like a goth's worse enemy, the American Eagle and Abercrombie.

A lot of poser's now days who want to look an outsider but still be popular, dress at the Hot Topic.

a place for all your poser needs. whether your shopping for the 45 dollar spiked belt. or the ridiculous black rimmed glasses with no corrective lenses, to make you seem psuedo scene. or whether you need to find the latest guns and roses rip off shirt. or maybe you need to find the perfect hippie surfer gone metal. thats where we found our sconsin!!
Brooks - hey whose lame ass thick black glasses are those?

A store in which some wannabe goths/ punks, and real goths/punks shop. They also go to other stores, you know like normal people.

The Anti-Abercrombie, one of the best places to shop, a great place to learn new things, and the best fucking place in the world.
"Most of what I have learned, has come from Hot Topic,"
"Man, get a life,"
"Why don't you, asshole?"
