Hot Topic

N.) a shop for clothes, shoes, and lots of random things. a generally "darker" style, but contains merchandise suitable to different tastes. gay to decent to cool range of products, often not worth the price.

Sarah just bought a fairly cool dress at Hot Topic, but it cost like 200 fucking dollars. Damn.

Hot Topic

Coming from someone who gets all clothes from there and has never stepped foot in Aeropostale; Hot Topic is the dominant sub-culture store. Its not for clones who wear the same thing, its for the exact opposite really. No, its not a preppy store in the least; if u dont like it stop searching it. Its a killer store with great clothes and loads of other stuff. Its not an Emo/Goth store; labels are for pussys.

Zomg,, i need a new band shirt, this ones like a week old; TO HOT TOPIC!

Hot Topic

It's just a store in every mall, where most posers go to shop. I go there to purchase some shirts/hoodies from my favorite bands, and not once I have gone there without hearing at least 2 posers and 2 normal people
I've literally heard people say this:

Poser1: "Man, my mom would never let me have that ICP poster!"
Poser2:"Yeah man, buy it!"

Poser1:"Let's buy something my mom would never let me wear."
Poser2:"Yeah, how about that Good Charlotte shirt? They're pretty gothic."

NormalPerson1:"Can I borrow some money for that Sabbath shirt man?"
NormalPerson2: "Uh, sure."

So yeah, if you only go there 'cause you think you're being rebellious or just to prove you're some "uber goth anarchist skater dude" or whatever, then you're truly a poser.

It's like abercrombie for kids who are goth,emo,punk, and possibly scen. not a store for "nonconformists" just another store in the mall for people with more alternative lifestyles

I shop a Hot Topic because I like the clothing and other shit they selll
