Hot Topic

A brand we don't have here.
A place I wanna go to buy a couple of stuff. No, not to be punk, but because i LIKE THEM.
Whatever you buy... someone else, somewhere else would have it. unless you made it yourself with cloth you got in a third worl country... no, you are not different from everybody else. period

Hot Topic

fairly expensive store which sells things like spikes, stickers, and stuff like that. fairly good if you're into that stuff. place where preps can go and act punk, where punks can go and get poser-punk stuff, and where others can go and get whatever because they don't really care, they just like it. it's possible. honest
"y'know that place hot topic? it's such an avril lavigne store!" "well...yeah. avril DOES shop there. but does that make it a poser store, even if she is one?" "yeah." "idiot."

Hot Topic

a store popular with the punk/goth scene.It's often reffered to as a "poser store" by many despite the fact that not everyone that shops there really is a poser.Think about it.There aren't many stores out there that targets the punk/goth scene so anyone calling it a "poserfest" give it a rest.HotTopic is not for everyone.
she shops at HotTopic!What a poser!
I shop at Hot Topic occasionally and I really don't care if people think it's for posers.I wear what I like.
I don't like Hot Topic.It's not my style.

Hot Topic

A company that I own stock in and made tons of money off because the stock has split several times since I bought it. I'd like to thank all the 16 year olds who shop there. When I take my next vacation, and I'm reclining in the first class cabin, I'll propose a toast just for you.
Look, Hot Topic's stock split again. Let's sell some of it and go someplace exotic!

Hot Topic

A store that has a bunch of stupid crap ranging from pentagrams to hello kitty T-Shirts. Some stuff in it looks good, but its really expensive, and you could probably make the same clothes yourself and save 55$. Some stuff in Hot Topic makes you simply look retarded. If you have down syndrome, smash some Invader Zim perfume in your eyes and toss on a Spongebob T-shirt from this place and you'll easily be identified as mentally retarded.

This store is the equivalent to Ambercrombie, Hollister, all that crap but all the clothes are just dyed black with some chains thrown on them and, to finish it off, a bands name and picture slapped on.

If you want a cheaper version of these clothes, go to any cheap clothing store, really cheap, just find clothing that you like the feel and look of. Fuck whatever company it was made by, buy it so long as it's cheap. Next, examine whatever retarded ass piece of clothing you want from Hot Topic. You want chains? Go get some chains, shouldn't be too expensive. You want black? Get some clothing dye (or if you were smart while getting the clothes, you already got a relatively close color). Want a picture on it? Find a place that will do just that, put a picture on it.

Holy shit! You just saved, and this is nearly a shot in the dark, 30-40$! Wow!
I just went to Hot Topic and spent my entire paycheck for this week on 3 things.

Hot Topic

A store that sells clothes for each \"Scene\" So what if the teenies shop there, we can just make fun of them. Shopping there doesn\'t make you a poseur as long as you shop there because you actually like the clothes. Not because Seventeen said \"punk is the new goth\" or whatever. (Another note, I don\'t classify myself as anything. I wear whatever the hell I decided on wearing that day)
Good reason:
>ME< Did you hear that new From First To Last CD, I heard Hot Topic has it.
>Friend< Cool, they have this Invader Zim bookbag that has GIR on it.

Bad Reason:
>randomteenie1< OMG, I just saw this new band Senses Fail on TV and now I like have to like buy all of their CDs because if I don\'t then I won\'t be cool.
>randomteenie2< The lead singer is like soooo hawt. I just need to steal Daddy\'s credit card so I can buy some bondage pants cause they\'re like so awesome. And i want some Anarchy patches cause anarchy rulez!
>me< Senses Fail isn\'t new, they\'ve been out for a few years. And do you even know what anarchy means? (I\'ve actually had this conversation before)

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.
