Get the Hot Topic mug.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!)

Get the Hot Topic mug.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.

Get the hot topic mug.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.

Get the hot topic mug.Is a shop considered bloody cheap for the UK customers. In the UK its considered alternative because it makes a change from the Camden crawlers.
