Hot Topic is considered a poser store because there are poser peoples that shop there sometimes, and also because it's different.
Hot Topic is a place that sells clothing that, okay, doesn't exactly make you different. But it looks cool and there are people who agree with me, is that really so hard to just shut up about and respect?
Sorry if it's too much to ask. But what always pisses me off is when there are all these popular Abercrombie / Hollister people who say "Hot Topic sucks" and then go out and buy stuff there behind your back. Just realize that every store has people that shop there who are cool, and people who are just plain stupid. Honestly, Hot Topic has nice, helpful people who work there, not uberly tall platinum-blond girls with short-short miniskirts who stare at you and sigh because you're not fashionable enough. I tried going into Hot Topic one day not dressed in my usual "gothic" clothing, and they still came up to me and we talked and laughed and stuff.
Maybe someday everyone in the world will learn to just live with the fact that in this world, there are people with different interests and beliefs than you. Maybe people will learn to live with and respect that.

I went shopping at Hot Topic yesterday, and they have a brand new pair of combat boots that majorly kicks ass.

A store overly thought at as a store for goth, punk, emo, etc... when infact its a store that is supposed to be "all about the music" And it was (and still is) a place to find clothing and other items that most other stores (A.E. gap, etc...) dont sell.
Wow. Hot topic sell all kinds of music T's. Anything from punk to screamo to even Willie Nelson and N.W.A.

A store that is really easy to steal from. You can steal everything because all of those stupid fucks in there forget to put ink tags on their clothes so all you have to do is rip off the damn tag. Nothing in there is hard to steal. If you stupid shits who buy stuff from there want to be rebellious fucking steal your shit instead of buying it with daddy's credit card.
"Yesterday me and my friend went to Hot Topic and we stole about 4 different shirts, a pair of shoes, and a bunch of jewelry."

A store People Shop at with overpriced but Interesting clothes. It is just a place to buy things, it does not define who you are. All shopping there means id that You have a Substantial amount of Money.

A store that supposedly sells identity to losers who say 'fuck the system!' and have no idea that by buying clothes to fashion their own 'identity' they are not only feeding the system through it's capitalist grips, but also buying into the system's ideology that states looks DO matter and personality and individuality can be bought in a store. Luckily there's bands that hot topic cannot sell patches and tshirts for because their politics are completely critical of the system hot topic thrives off of. Unfortunately, these bands are too underground for rich suburban rebels to know about, and if they did know about them, it wouldn't be about the politics, but the status of actually knowing the bands. Get some Crass you losers, with the grinding horrible sound, there's no way you can ignore the politics.
"lyke, HoT ToPiC rulez! i got an anarchy wristband from there which shows just how much i, lyke, hate the system!"
"yeah! nevermind the bollocks, anarchy in the UK...no wait, how does it go??"
