Get the Hot Topic mug.A bullshit store that exploits trends by selling shirts depicting pop culture icons, often accompanied by a lame joke or pun.
Person 1: Dude! Look at this epic shirt I got from Hot Topic!
Person 2: I like _________, but that's not funny; it isn't even clever. Why would you spend twenty dollars on that?
Person 1: It is too funny! You just don't get it!

Get the Hot Topic mug.A place for kids to shop at. They get a t-shirt saying, "I BREAK THINGS" and think they are rebelling against society and being more like Avril. When really, they are conforming to it because 10,000 other kids in America have the same shirt.

Get the Hot Topic mug.The single most easiest store to steal from. I went in there and stole 150 dollars worth of merchandise (wich isnt too much). After that i was so pumped that i went back in there and stole a shirt. My friend stole a studded belt for crying out loud.
I think that's one of the reasons for things there being way too over priced, instead of buying security cameras they over-price everything. Recently they put fake tags on stuff over 50 dollars (pretty much everything). The only problem that caused were the douch bags working the counters forgetting to take off the tags, and since the tags were fake, they didnt go off so you'd be stuck making another trip to the mall to get the tags off. so stealing from there would actually save you time and money.

I stole wristbands, chokers, bracelets, tripp nyc bracelets, msi shirt, a jack ass belt buckle, crapy hair dye, a studded belt, a chain wallet and to top it off the cashier girl's virginity. Then sold everything on ebay.

Get the Hot Topic mug.Well, yes it is a store. A chain store no less. But from what other store can you buy "punk" and/or "goth" styled clothing. there aren't too many choices to my knowledge. And where I live it is the only option. No, shopping there doesn't more or less make you different from everyone else, but seriously how many people of this generation of America are going to sit down and craft there own clothing; Not too many. (other than my self whom is a fashion Design major, and various people who are freaks like my self, Good for you to those of whom do)
You got to give credit to the company though for cashing in on the style and marketing it. Who ever is sitting in with the company has got a small fortune going on. This also falls with the fact that they are the only real chain "goth/punk" store they don't have competitors so they can charge as much as they want. I will admit though, they are horrendously over priced. I work for an independent company and we have accounts with some of the same product companies Hot Topic buys from, and they making something like a 60% profit from the original whole sale price. Which is absolutely disgusting, if not ludicrous

I some times like to wander though Hot Topic and comment on how I can make the same stupid products 7 bucks (or something)and make it look better no less.
