Hot Topic

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
Person 1: Lets go there! (Hot topic)
Person 2: Ok! -they go in-
Person 1: I like that band.
Person 2: Me too! -they buy a shirt-
-they continue shopping-
Still not that hard, people

Hot Topic

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.
"Dude, check out this MCR shirt I bought at Hot Topic!"

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.

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.

hot topic

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.
Let's go to Hot Topic to find a couple shirts of my favorite bands!

Hot Topic

Hot Topic is a store commonly found in many American malls, that sells kids alternative identities in the form of goth, emo, punk, and more recently of the hipster persuasion. Hot Topic at no point was "real", but I wouldn't call all who shop from there posers. Recently it has become worse than fake goth/hollywood satanist and has moved into the place where hype beast come to buy shirts to match their expensive limited edition tacky shoes. They sell pretty cool knick knacks, but not instead of being the store that sells to goth kids, emo's, or scene kids, they have moved into selling Justin Bieber, and other contemporary pop inspired crap.

Eventhough they still sell clothes for Manson or Linkin Park faux goth's, they have moved into more brighter and neutral shit, some of the stuff even looks like a goth's worse enemy, the American Eagle and Abercrombie.
A lot of poser's now days who want to look an outsider but still be popular, dress at the Hot Topic.
