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.

ALTERNATIVE ATTIRE MY ASS. A store that sells emo looking shit for 70 dollars that you can buy somewhere else for 20. They also sell slutty lingerie, and usually have loud screaming music that you can hear from the other side of the mall.
" Hey, Jules i just got back from Hot Topic"
"Did you spend the birthday money i gave you?"
"Yep all $500"
" really whatd you buy?"
"oh just a couple a t- shirts"
"..."

A store that sells clothing, and is actually not that bad despite what some people say about it. They sell CD's, band tees, and some pretty cool knick knacks accessories. Unlike Hollister, American Eagle, or Aeropostale, the sales associates aren't dicks, and despite appearance are pretty nice people.

hot topic is a store i used to love going to until this new trend of "rebellious rocker teens" exploded all over the country.
i saw this poser looking guy buying a avenged sevenfold tee from hot topic so i was all "oh you like their song 'afterlife'?" and hes responds "naw sorry, i dont even know who they are, i just bought it cause Paul had it."

I go to HOT TOPIC every weekend to meet up with my emo friends.
I posted a MySpace bulletin to let eveyone know we're going to HOT TOPIC this weekend.
