Hot Topic

a store found in just about every mall. one that at one time used to be "scary", but then got popular. whatever, i cant say much because i used to shop there (in like, junio high). i just moved on to thrift stores after.
Middle-schooler with an anarchy patch on his backpack, all black converse, and the dickies witht the cell phone pockets: anarchy rocks!
me: you got that patch at hot topic didnt you, paid for it with federal dollars, and put it on your backpack, which you carry to a government run school. yeah, good job.

hot topic

Place at the mall to shop. Does it really matter what kind of people go in there? And why do you care what people are writing about it?
Person #1: Lets go to hot topic to get a t-shirt or something.

Person #2: OK. Sounds peachy.

Hot Topic

An overpriced store that sells clothes that make teenies think they are "gothic" or "punks". It does, however have some good band merchandise and CD's. I like what they sell, but I dont like the effect it's having on kids. These kids think anarchy means forgetting to brush your teeth before bed.
Good Stuff: Ramones, Rancid, Misfits shirts, patches and pins
Bad stuff: the 50 different styles of good charlotte shirts, the overpricedness, and the effect it's got on kid "anarchists"

Hot Topic Boner

The week long-lasting pants full of excitement one attains from the current popular "trend". It comes and goes with blockbuster movies, hit youtube videos and other various things teenagers worship. This usually results in a weekly trip to Hot Topic to purchase a t-shirt and/or other merchandise with the trend plastered all over it.
