Hot Topic

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

Hot Topic

A store where people of the Punk/Goth/Emo cliques go to shop. Shopping at this store, doesn't mean you are unique..but it doesn't mean you aren't. Yes, some of their clothes are expensive, but it's tons cheaper than Hollister or Abercrombie. This store makes nobody a poser. It's there for people who really want to look, "this way" to buy clothes. Considering their are no other actual "punk" stores. Whereas every single store has "prep" clothing.

hot topic

a store where people shop. people who think they shop their seem to think they are diffrent. that they are "scene". but really and truly being an individual is a cliche. emos, scenes, they are all the fucking same you all wear skinny jeans, you have black hair thats covering one eye, you wear ALOT of eyeliner, you go to shows, you claim your life is hell when you live in a nice area, you have 2 parents, and your probably the only child. your not a fucking individual if you shop at hot topic your simply a person who shops. okay i shop at hottopic...alot. i have band shirts but thats about it my hair is brown, i wear loose jeans they are actually a size too big, my hair is always in my face (covering BOTH eyes) i dont go to shows, i dont listen to TBS or Dasboard confesional . i know im not an individual which is why i dont claim i am. no matter what image your trying to get, there is ALWAYS going to be some one else doing it too.

if you were the only one who shoped at hot topic there wouldnt be a hot topic :)
