It's a store where people shop, just like Hollister.
The people who shop there like what is in there, just like people who shop at Hollister like what is in Hollister.
Some people shop at both, because people like both.
Some shop in one, because some only like one.
Its a store. People just don't like it because its an "emo" store.
Think about it.
Its not that hard

A store, first opened in 1988, that specializes in clothing and accessories often associated with the goth and emo subcultures. Also sells clothing featuring a wide variety of pop culture references, including Power Rangers, Voltron, Pokemon, numerous comic book series, and many, many, different bands. Frequently, the store will hold "listening parties" where a new CD or single by a certain band will be played in the store, allowing shoppers to hear it before its release.

Hot Topic is a store that sells almost anything imaginable, from edible thongs to Care Bears. It has been unjustly been defined as a goth store or an emo store. The only reason this has occured is due to the fact that they have lots of mechendise most consider goth or emo. That is also due to the fact most likely that I have yet to see a white-picket-fence type normal person working there, which immediatly makes it an unusual store.
Spencers is very similar.

All those emo kids are in Hot Topic, that place must be wierd.

hot topic is a store you find at like every fucking mall in america...and in my oppinion...its a good one. people dont go there to rebel...they go there cuz the clothes are cute and they like that style just like the same reasons some ppl shop at abercromie & shit and hollicrap. everyone has different taste. the only reason why hot topic is considered rebellious & unique is b/c they dont sell over priced crap that says the stores names across the chest and butt...everyone who shops there happens have different styles from eachother if u havent noticed.they have good clothes so deal.
hey lets go into hot topic to buy a band tee or something b/c i dont wanna advertise a shitty store across my chest or ass.

a store found in many malls that seems like a punk store. However, if you ever happen to go inside, you'll realize it's nothing but a store dedicated to music. It's not just a store for "punk music"; even some preppy people shop there: some to buy a Justin Bieber shirt, others to get a Twilight poster. However, there are some people that just like clothes Hot Topic sells. There are even some Abercrombie & Fitch wearers who like to stop by. While the clothing is bad quality, and overpriced for the quality, many people don't seem to mind or complain, since there aren't many stores in the mall just like it.

a really lame store that once sold awesome tshirts, but they now sell stupid shirts relating to twilight and justin beiber.
