Hot Topic

A place that sells clothes.
People can shop at Hollister AND Hot Topic, just like the person writing this definition. It's not a place for posers to shop, just like Abercrombie isn't a place for posers to shop. If you like their clothes, and not Abercrombie/Hollister's, you shop there, and that doesn't make you a poser, people.
But some people shop there to seem 'unique', and it's just as unique as shopping at A+F. In a nutshell, it's a store that sells clothes, usually considered 'goth' or 'emo'.

I have a few pairs of clothes that I bought at Hot Topic, I wear them sometimes, therefore, I must be a poser, right? Wrong.

Hot Topic

A shop i am embarassed to now shop at bc of all the gay ass new "punk" trends. Hot topic itself is not completely poser-ish, just their gay ass band merch and the posers who shop their. On occasion you'll find a good shirt or something there.

Let's go to hot topic and point at the non-conformist posers who are conforming.

Hot Topic

Ok well its a big room in the mall that sells clothes and stuff! Hot Topic is a STORE people its not a freakin "poser hangout"! Hot topic is a store that sells music related items. I do admit it is a little bit overpriced ($40 for a hoodie WTF!!) but if you dont like it DON'T SHOP THERE! Personally I love Hot Topic. The clothes are pretty cute but some of them Suck ass. Do i consider my self "goth" , "punk" or "a rebel" because i shop there? NO!! I shop there becaue i, WHAT *GASP* like the stuff there! The only posers are the ones who think they are Fighting the System by shopping there. (by the way i am not some 11yr old stealing her daddy's credit card to buy some corset and be cool, my parents dont care where i shop and dont even let me use thier credit card)

Me: I saw this cute Ramones T-shirt on the Hot Topic site Im going to buy it in the store

Poser: OMG Sam Your soo Punk Rock Im soo going to tell my parents you shop at hot topic so they think im rebelling! FUCK THE SYSTEM!! Then im going to buy a Green Day T-shirt and pretend to listen to them!!!

Me:WHO ARE YOU?? STOP FOLLOWING ME!!
