An overly expensive mall store that sells to emo/punk/metal/scene kids and other kids and teens that fall under similar labels. It is constantly labeled a store for posers, which is pretty dumb. It's just a store people. It is unfortunately the only store of its kind (band merch selling kind) in my area, which gets me wrongly accused of being a poser.

An over priced store where "punk" kids go to be "totally non-conformist". But buying overpriced clothes from a shitty store is the equivalent to shopping at A&F. Here's an idea, shop at a thrift store or steal the shit.
Stupid Kid: "Look at those conformists shopping at American Eagle. You guys want to go to Hot Topic?"
Everyone: "yeah"
Everyone: "yeah"

Hot Topic is a place where 12 year old girls shop to buy Fall Out Boy shirts and think there so HXC Hot Topic is also a place where heavy girls try to squeeze themselves into Corsets with ugly bondage pants and think they are HXC while listening to Slipknot

a poser store, nonetheless. It attempts to sell the "punk look" which is stupid, mainly because there is no "punk look" and the "punk look" they try to sell is the bastardized punk look from bands from the sex pistols and onward. If you shop there and give them the sales, then you are giving in to the fucks and are a poser.
poser: "Im being myself by shopping here"
me: "no you arent you're giving into corporate america and even if youre buying bands that are good you're still a poser for giving into a place that gives a wrong idea of what punk is."
poser: "come on, hot topic is just a store"
me: "Hitler was just a person, you know"
