a "punk" clothing store. the cds they sell are pretty good. they support alot of stuff that isn't too mainstream. they could do better though. the store is what you could call a sell-out, but if you're looking for the media punk rock clothing, here it is.

i remember going there in 2000 and it was awesome. then now, if i walk in there, 2005, you see hello kitty, carebears, and random things in there that shouldn't be there. i've heard so called-punk kids go in saying "man there are so many fucking preps in here now." well, if they were really "punk rockers" they wouldn't go shop at hot topic and spend their parent's money. poseurs.
dude that goth kid only shops at hot topic.

Hot topic is a store that sells so called "punk", "emo", and "goth" clothes. It is owned by the same company as Abercrombie and Fitch, a store with the opposite style (preppy). Both stores are very over priced. Poseurs are obsessed with the store. Real punks probably don't waste their money and rip their clothes themselves.
store where posers go to dress "punk" posers trying to conform in nonconformity
hey i have that same shirt from hot topic, it's so punk isn't it?

A store where people go to buy clothes that other gay-ass stores like Forever 21 don't sell. Although the clothes are expensive, they are wotrth it. Where else can you get a shirt that says, "Invade Canada"?
I'm bored, lets go to Hot Topic and scare the poseurs.

A store filled with teen sub culture filth and band items from alternative subgenres and bands many people have never heard of... i go there all the time... and it is barely goth, it is influenced by teen culture and alt. rock

some poeple think that they are cool by shopping there, but really, they are pissing everyone off who actually likes the s#it at hot topic

people that shop there are typically:
"goths" (gothic posers who think its goth) posers, lost people, emos, actual goths, prepies, alt. rock fans, teens, and occasionally, little kids who usually end up scared
teenager: HAHa! There's a little kid crying in the window in that Hot Topic!
poser: I love hot topic! (but iv'e never heard of any of those bands in it)
