Is a shop considered bloody cheap for the UK customers. In the UK its considered alternative because it makes a change from the Camden crawlers.

hot topic is a store i used to love going to until this new trend of "rebellious rocker teens" exploded all over the country.
i saw this poser looking guy buying a avenged sevenfold tee from hot topic so i was all "oh you like their song 'afterlife'?" and hes responds "naw sorry, i dont even know who they are, i just bought it cause Paul had it."

Hot Topic is a store that sells almost anything imaginable, from edible thongs to Care Bears. It has been unjustly been defined as a goth store or an emo store. The only reason this has occured is due to the fact that they have lots of mechendise most consider goth or emo. That is also due to the fact most likely that I have yet to see a white-picket-fence type normal person working there, which immediatly makes it an unusual store.
Spencers is very similar.

All those emo kids are in Hot Topic, that place must be wierd.

hot topic is a store you find at like every fucking mall in america...and in my oppinion...its a good one. people dont go there to rebel...they go there cuz the clothes are cute and they like that style just like the same reasons some ppl shop at abercromie & shit and hollicrap. everyone has different taste. the only reason why hot topic is considered rebellious & unique is b/c they dont sell over priced crap that says the stores names across the chest and butt...everyone who shops there happens have different styles from eachother if u havent noticed.they have good clothes so deal.
hey lets go into hot topic to buy a band tee or something b/c i dont wanna advertise a shitty store across my chest or ass.

a really lame store that once sold awesome tshirts, but they now sell stupid shirts relating to twilight and justin beiber.

a store found in many malls that seems like a punk store. However, if you ever happen to go inside, you'll realize it's nothing but a store dedicated to music. It's not just a store for "punk music"; even some preppy people shop there: some to buy a Justin Bieber shirt, others to get a Twilight poster. However, there are some people that just like clothes Hot Topic sells. There are even some Abercrombie & Fitch wearers who like to stop by. While the clothing is bad quality, and overpriced for the quality, many people don't seem to mind or complain, since there aren't many stores in the mall just like it.
