#off-topic

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.

I am going to #off-topic so that I don't post a meme in #general

Cold Topic

Cold Topic is a a place you go if you are cool. The store offers the finest outfits one can dream of and no matter what you pick, you will be different. Unlike Hot Topic, Cold Topic can turn any "Conformist" into a "Boss" or a "Cold Motha Fucka", confirming you to be liked by everyone, for the right price. If the price is too much, you can work at Cold Topic and get everything for a discount without being some pearced dweeb.

Dude: I saw this person with an Invader Zim shirt and they looked like a total dweeb!

Thug: Yhea man, they shop at Hot Topic, a place for fake rebels.

Dude: Dam, where do I shop then brah?

Thug: You need to shop at Cold Topic.

Thug: If you can pay the price, you can get the best of the best swagger yo.

Hot Topic

A store where people of the Punk/Goth/Emo cliques go to shop. Shopping at this store, doesn't mean you are unique..but it doesn't mean you aren't. Yes, some of their clothes are expensive, but it's tons cheaper than Hollister or Abercrombie. This store makes nobody a poser. It's there for people who really want to look, "this way" to buy clothes. Considering their are no other actual "punk" stores. Whereas every single store has "prep" clothing.

hot topic

a store where people shop. people who think they shop their seem to think they are diffrent. that they are "scene". but really and truly being an individual is a cliche. emos, scenes, they are all the fucking same you all wear skinny jeans, you have black hair thats covering one eye, you wear ALOT of eyeliner, you go to shows, you claim your life is hell when you live in a nice area, you have 2 parents, and your probably the only child. your not a fucking individual if you shop at hot topic your simply a person who shops. okay i shop at hottopic...alot. i have band shirts but thats about it my hair is brown, i wear loose jeans they are actually a size too big, my hair is always in my face (covering BOTH eyes) i dont go to shows, i dont listen to TBS or Dasboard confesional . i know im not an individual which is why i dont claim i am. no matter what image your trying to get, there is ALWAYS going to be some one else doing it too.

if you were the only one who shoped at hot topic there wouldnt be a hot topic :)
