Hot Topic

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!
I went to Hot Topic to buy a band shirt.

Hot Topic

A store to buy clothing that is some what high priced but on occasion can be found to be somewhat cheap on certain items mostly accesories and other baubles and trinkits. the craze swept the nation though that as long as you were clothes from there you are infact a goth or a punk this in its essence is a poser statement and is demagraphicaly inaccurate because more than one prep or jock has shopped there and it wont be the last one so lay off of the store or ill go down and make fun of your starbucks coffee for being a "propaganda" it is a store that sells clothes nothing more it is not instant goth-ness or instant punk-ness
Prep: ya ive recently been getting into greenday so im gonna go down there and buy that tee i saw at hot topic
Idiot prep: oooooh u mean that goth store across from spencers!
prep: no that place that sells the greenday tee.
poser:ya i shop there all the time because its black
*idiot the colour its self shouldnt be a reason or turn off to shop at a place unless your anniplectic and go into spasms in a dark room then its ok.

A place I wanna go to buy a couple of stuff. No, not to be punk, but because i LIKE THEM.
Whatever you buy... someone else, somewhere else would have it. unless you made it yourself with cloth you got in a third worl country... no, you are not different from everybody else. period

Hot Topic

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."

Hot Topic

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.
