It's a store, people. They sell clothes like everyone else. Just as many posers go there as American Eagle or Abercrombie.
I shop at American Eagle. It's not because I don't want to be a "poser"; it's because I like their clothes. And people who shop at Hot Topic like their clothes. Get over it.

when you suddenly find yourself surrounded by wannabe emos sporting the lastest clothing labeled with the cartoon charecters from years past. you can usually spot some one who has been "hot topiced" when the person is obviously trying to be unique, but looks just as shitty as the last shmuck who walked into the store.
"whoa man, what happened to mary? i never knew she owned so much black.....or had so many peircings"
"its too late for her now, shes been hot topiced."

Place at the mall to shop. Does it really matter what kind of people go in there? And why do you care what people are writing about it?

hot topic is a clothing store. shopping there doesn't make you a poser. shopping there and thinking you are original/goth/punk does. you are only original if you buy the stuff in hot topic before it comes out ;)
Normal person: i love hot topic i think i'll go get that new <insert band> t-shirt
Poser: i need to go to hot topic and pick up some more anti societal clothes, so people will know that i am an outcast.
his life must be so full of pain, that his parents give him money to buy overpriced clothing at hot topic

A store that is known for selling band shirts, colorful pants and fits the gothic emo scene and now mainstream styles. usually consistes of workers that have mulitple tattoos and piercings, and buyers that are trying to rebel againt their preppy ass parents, people trying to fit it, and alot of the mainstream preteen and teenage culture of today. You can get stuff from bracetels, hatchet man icp gear, hello kitty, devil wears parada, slipknot and what not. used to be a fun store, till thedamn scene and prep kids got ahold of it >.<
