Store for want to be rebellious little children to spend their parents money on 80 dollar bondage pants.

A clothing store located in your nearest crappy mall. It has nothing to do with rebelling or being "original." I shop at Hot Topic because I love music. Not because I'm a "goth/emo" who's trying to rebel against socitey. The store motto is "All about the music" and I want a T-shirt with my favorite band on it, thanks. But when I go to the mall I go to Hot Topic, American Eagle, Aeropostle, and Hollister. And if that makes me a poser or whatever the crap you want to call it then hey I'll say it, "I'M A POSER!" It's a store. Just like American Eagle or Hollister or any other "preppy store." A way to waste your money on clothes that you'll only wear for two months because after three you're daddy will have to buy you a knew one becase "OMG, this shirt so old. It's so last season. I just don't think I can bare to wear it anymore!"

Hot topic is a store that sells so called "punk", "emo", and "goth" clothes. It is owned by the same company as Abercrombie and Fitch, a store with the opposite style (preppy). Both stores are very over priced. Poseurs are obsessed with the store. Real punks probably don't waste their money and rip their clothes themselves.

Hot Topic is way over priced and most rich preppy posers go there but if you really are punk or gothic doesnt mean u cant shop there i've been in there i bought some stuff but way to over priced

A store where people go to buy clothes that other gay-ass stores like Forever 21 don't sell. Although the clothes are expensive, they are wotrth it. Where else can you get a shirt that says, "Invade Canada"?

a place of pure touchure and choas they arent afraid to snap a rubber band across ur ass for buying gay music....hot topic is also known as posers'R'us..the only thing cool about hot topic is the ppl that work there who arent afriad to kick ur ass for saying good charlotte is punk..and also they carry some good-ish music..and band shirts are cool too..but as for the carebears and the matching "goth/punk" outfits fuck off and find some real clothes wannabes...
