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 store in malls. usually not much larger than your room, but at the same time has a plethora of various apparel and music stuff for sale. It is the only store that plays good shopping music.
Hot topic is always crowed because there is no room to walk through all these clothes, I feel like I am in my room.
