hot topic

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.

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.

Hot Topic

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)

Hot Topic

Greasers, rudes, skinheads, punks, goths, hardcore kids. . .loud proud and poor.
Punk and its affiliates are musics of the working man. The poor
Hot Topic is, for the most part, a store for the rich who want to look poor.
It is the death of DIY
Find a local store for the essentials (bullet belts, studs. . stuff you cant do your self) its more in the spirit

also ok here goes: its not the GC kid or the Simple Plan kid I wanna strangle the shit out of. . .its the kid from the middle class suburban home sporting a crimson ghost skull! ok boys and girls guess what. . .Glenn Danig would scare you. . .skinheads arent racists. . . the guy in the suit IS more punk then you will ever be, and stop trying to buy drugs off me. I dont need your filthy substances. . I got booze and freinds and my devotchka

(shopping at hot topic is ok as long as you arent proud of it and know your place. .. my belt is from hot topic IT WAS A GIFT! I SWEAR!)
The Skin: Hey Glenn Wanna go to Hot Topic and scare the soccer kids?

Glenn: If they call you a racist I will eat their brains. Any way I only need one stud and the Catalyst is closed. . .

hot topic

A store, which sells alot of crap but sometimes some good CDs.
It's a biased company which promotes anarchy and punk rock and some mindless kiddies do actually buy into it.
If you are true punk rock,you'll probably hate the store but might be tempted by the old Black Flag records.
Hot Topic isn't punk rock: DIY is punk rock,living for yourself is punk rock,Minor Threat were punk rock.
Hot Topic is a corporate vulture who breeds off stupid 13 year olds who couldn't tell Jello Biafra from Johhny Rotten.
But sometimes they do have some sweet tees..so it's not all bad.
However, capatalism and punk rock should never,ever have come together...but they have,get over it.
AvrilLavigneFan: OMG,look at this kewl Anarchy badge. Woohoo,I think I'll wear it to sunday school!
PunkyGuy:Urghh....Hot Topic is so mass market and shitty.
Me: Wow...they have the whole Dischord back catolouge in here"

hot topic

A store for freaks, goths, emos, punks, losers, and rejects where they can buy wierd looking clone clothing just to be different. Which is ironic because everyone who wears their clothes look practically the same. They don't shop at normal stores becausse they are "preppy" and "overprice." Well, Hot Topic has some overpriced items as well. And they also joke on Hollister because it's dark, feels like a cave, and has loud music. Sounds a bit like hot topic to me. So all the freaks that wanna be different are actually being the same. What's wrong with trying to fit in as long as you stay who you really are.
(Weirdo goth kid speaking) - I'm an outcast because i'm weird, so now I have no choice but to shop at Hot Topic because they are my last resort....COME INTO MY SOUL SATAN!
