A company that I own stock in and made tons of money off because the stock has split several times since I bought it. I'd like to thank all the 16 year olds who shop there. When I take my next vacation, and I'm reclining in the first class cabin, I'll propose a toast just for you.

A store that has a bunch of stupid crap ranging from pentagrams to hello kitty T-Shirts. Some stuff in it looks good, but its really expensive, and you could probably make the same clothes yourself and save 55$. Some stuff in Hot Topic makes you simply look retarded. If you have down syndrome, smash some Invader Zim perfume in your eyes and toss on a Spongebob T-shirt from this place and you'll easily be identified as mentally retarded.
This store is the equivalent to Ambercrombie, Hollister, all that crap but all the clothes are just dyed black with some chains thrown on them and, to finish it off, a bands name and picture slapped on.
If you want a cheaper version of these clothes, go to any cheap clothing store, really cheap, just find clothing that you like the feel and look of. Fuck whatever company it was made by, buy it so long as it's cheap. Next, examine whatever retarded ass piece of clothing you want from Hot Topic. You want chains? Go get some chains, shouldn't be too expensive. You want black? Get some clothing dye (or if you were smart while getting the clothes, you already got a relatively close color). Want a picture on it? Find a place that will do just that, put a picture on it.
Holy shit! You just saved, and this is nearly a shot in the dark, 30-40$! Wow!

A store that sells clothes for each \"Scene\" So what if the teenies shop there, we can just make fun of them. Shopping there doesn\'t make you a poseur as long as you shop there because you actually like the clothes. Not because Seventeen said \"punk is the new goth\" or whatever. (Another note, I don\'t classify myself as anything. I wear whatever the hell I decided on wearing that day)
Good reason:
>ME< Did you hear that new From First To Last CD, I heard Hot Topic has it.
>Friend< Cool, they have this Invader Zim bookbag that has GIR on it.
Bad Reason:
>randomteenie1< OMG, I just saw this new band Senses Fail on TV and now I like have to like buy all of their CDs because if I don\'t then I won\'t be cool.
>randomteenie2< The lead singer is like soooo hawt. I just need to steal Daddy\'s credit card so I can buy some bondage pants cause they\'re like so awesome. And i want some Anarchy patches cause anarchy rulez!
>me< Senses Fail isn\'t new, they\'ve been out for a few years. And do you even know what anarchy means? (I\'ve actually had this conversation before)

A store that sells band merch, things with funny sayings on them, random Disney items, and many other things. They're most popular amongst teenagers but some adults shop there too. I personally shop there for band merch and skinny jeans. They sell mostly black clothes and things considered Emo or Goth

A store that sells a more alternative style of clothing that resembles something made at home. A great store for people who like that style but do not have the ability to make their own clothing. Also sells pop culture items such as Nightmare before Christmas and Doctor who stuff
Ryan: Where should we go in the mall?
Joe: I want to go to hot topic, I want to buy a Doctor Who backpack

A store found in some malls that was originally for mostly bands or gothic clothing, but now seems to focus more on Pop Culture stuff. The last time I went into Hot Topic, they had a wall of Disney Pullovers, Doctor Who stuff, some Marvel and even My Little Pony merch (for the bronies...I guess?) I rarely see anyone who shops there who looks older than 18. It's a neat store, last time I was there I got a David Tenant shirt, Wicked witch shirt, a Little Mermaid tank top and a Loki vs Thor shirt (which I now regret, as looking online they have much better Loki shirts online!)
