Get the Hot Topic mug.'rebellious' store owned by The Gap. ultra-expensive and no better than thrift stores. Intended for 13 year old girls that are trying to express their creativity and rebellion with a credit card and the same fucking clothes as everyone else.
Hot Topics clothes are made in sweatshops. assembled by underpaid/overworked small children in Mexico/Asia.

Get the Hot Topic mug.A store where teens go to express their rebellion against "THE MAN" and individuality and nonconformity by spending $75 on the same thing all there friends are wearing.
The store sells upon stereotypes of a certain genre or scene and builds a fashion base around it.
They claim to be "Everything About the Music" yet sell mainly Nintendo retro and otaku based shirts. While they do have a large array of band shirts, atleast 10 of them are by the same band, whichever is most marketable at the time.
Also there you can find a good deal of "anarchy" items for anywhere from $10-25.
In 2004 alone, Hot Topic's revenue was $656,470,000.
If you really want to be rebellious and original, pick up a needle and thread and hit up a thrift store.

Bob is rebellious because he shops at Hot Topic to be different and an individual unlike the fashion sheep of the jocks and preps. However, Hot Topic is just as popular as The Gap or Abercrombie. So instead of rebelling, you are simply conforming to Orv Madden's empire.

Get the hot topic mug.Store where rebellious teenieboppers max out mommy's credit cards and call themselves either "punk" "emo" or "goth".

Get the hot topic mug.It's a store, it's not just for people who are posers and is actually a great place to purchase band t-shirts. Most people say it's the emo equivalent to Abercrombie, and this is true, because Abercrombie and Hot Topic are owned by the same damn company!

Get the Hot Topic mug.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."

Get the Hot Topic mug.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.
