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

A store found in some malls that was originally for mostly bands or gothic clothing, but now seems to focus more on Pop Culture stuff. The last time I went into Hot Topic, they had a wall of Disney Pullovers, Doctor Who stuff, some Marvel and even My Little Pony merch (for the bronies...I guess?) I rarely see anyone who shops there who looks older than 18. It's a neat store, last time I was there I got a David Tenant shirt, Wicked witch shirt, a Little Mermaid tank top and a Loki vs Thor shirt (which I now regret, as looking online they have much better Loki shirts online!)

A store where people of the Punk/Goth/Emo cliques go to shop. Shopping at this store, doesn't mean you are unique..but it doesn't mean you aren't. Yes, some of their clothes are expensive, but it's tons cheaper than Hollister or Abercrombie. This store makes nobody a poser. It's there for people who really want to look, "this way" to buy clothes. Considering their are no other actual "punk" stores. Whereas every single store has "prep" clothing.

a useless store that no one realizes especially the girls and boys that used to get their cloths at Abercrombie, not realizing that its owned by the same company, the only 2 stores in any mall that you have to pay less than 100$ for any pair of pants or a shirt.....
aka posers paradise
want to be a real goth,punk,metal head? get a credit card and buy your cloths from Germany, don't have a credit card? buy a prepaid one
