Get the Hot topic mug.A chain store that tries to sell underground culture (goth, emo, punk fashion) in a mainstream environment. They are poseurs because they try to market underground culture to the mainstream, and underground culture is meant to be outside the mainstream.

Get the Hot Topic mug.The store that is single-handedly killing emo and goth styles. Cookie monster and Fred t-shirts aren't either of these styles nor is ANYTHING else in that social media market they call a store. The only thing that could be considered emo/goth is their music collection, but bands like Blood On The Dance Floor are making sure to fuck things up as well. Though if you are going for that "super awesome and totally not retarded" scene look, you have come to the right place.
Person 1: Anyone else remember emos and goths from back in the day, when they actually meant something besides lots of makeup, crying, shit music and shopping at Hot Topic?
Mindless Slave: Pfffff, no! Now loan me $120 so i can buy a cookie monster shirt and BOTDF's newest and most epic *cough cough* auto-tuned shit *cough cough* totally emo album!!!!!!!
