A store that sells clothes for each \"Scene\" So what if the teenies shop there, we can just make fun of them. Shopping there doesn\'t make you a poseur as long as you shop there because you actually like the clothes. Not because Seventeen said \"punk is the new goth\" or whatever. (Another note, I don\'t classify myself as anything. I wear whatever the hell I decided on wearing that day)
Good reason:
>ME< Did you hear that new From First To Last CD, I heard Hot Topic has it.
>Friend< Cool, they have this Invader Zim bookbag that has GIR on it.
Bad Reason:
>randomteenie1< OMG, I just saw this new band Senses Fail on TV and now I like have to like buy all of their CDs because if I don\'t then I won\'t be cool.
>randomteenie2< The lead singer is like soooo hawt. I just need to steal Daddy\'s credit card so I can buy some bondage pants cause they\'re like so awesome. And i want some Anarchy patches cause anarchy rulez!
>me< Senses Fail isn\'t new, they\'ve been out for a few years. And do you even know what anarchy means? (I\'ve actually had this conversation before)

A store found in some malls that was originally for mostly bands or gothic clothing, but now seems to focus more on Pop Culture stuff. The last time I went into Hot Topic, they had a wall of Disney Pullovers, Doctor Who stuff, some Marvel and even My Little Pony merch (for the bronies...I guess?) I rarely see anyone who shops there who looks older than 18. It's a neat store, last time I was there I got a David Tenant shirt, Wicked witch shirt, a Little Mermaid tank top and a Loki vs Thor shirt (which I now regret, as looking online they have much better Loki shirts online!)

The channel on Discord that everyone posts to when they have nothing better to do. Often filled with images, dank memes, low-effort posts, reposts, and random conversation.

A store that sells band merch, things with funny sayings on them, random Disney items, and many other things. They're most popular amongst teenagers but some adults shop there too. I personally shop there for band merch and skinny jeans. They sell mostly black clothes and things considered Emo or Goth
