only good for band clothing (just because you can't make band clothing, and because you can't find it at thrift stores ANDDD because it's hard to order off the internet).

Hot Topic is a place where 12 year old girls shop to buy Fall Out Boy shirts and think there so HXC Hot Topic is also a place where heavy girls try to squeeze themselves into Corsets with ugly bondage pants and think they are HXC while listening to Slipknot

A store and online store preps, dweebs, dorks, and wannabe asswipes go to when they want to look cool.
There are still a few actual cool people that go to Hot Topic, though.

A retail chain store that focuses on the "dark rock?" subculture (at this point I don't know who Hot Topics core demographic is), like how Hollister focuses on the "surfing" subculture.
All in all not a bad store, prices are normally low, and I got this kick ass Iron Maiden shirt there for $10
But the employees can be a pain in the ass, always trying to sell you more stuff!
Probably the worst part of Hot Topic stores is that a good portion of the shoppers are idiots who think they're being induvidual by shopping at a chain store (which has a revenue of $761 million, how punk) and think they're being even more unique by wearing t-shirts of "obscure" bands like Slipknot (They were 2nd on the billboard charts, how underground) and ICP (who are a fucking franchise now, seriously they sell energy drinks)
But overall it's just like every other chain store, but it's a bit cheaper which is nice

(Example of overselling of Hot Topic employees)
Employe: Ok...hey can I interest you in the new Drake CD
Me: no...I just spent $10 here, fuck off
(example of stupid Mall Goths)
Mall Goth: I'm so original look at my slipknot shirt, no posers know about slipknot, they're so heavy and metal
Me: *slaps him* Bitch go buy a fucking Nile CD
