A chain of mall stores with some cool shit in it... and some lame ass shit.
Shopping there does not make anyone any more of a punk or a poser then they already are. Why? Because it's a store, and a store in itself cannot be punk no matter what it sells. Though many stupid kids feel the need to constantly say things like "Hot Topic is a poser store! Only posers shop there!", in order to make themselves feel more punk and hardcore about themselves. When they themselves are posers.
Hot Topic is targeted twords the 16-25 age crowd. I constantly hear people saying only teenie boppers shop there, though I've only once ever seen someone in there who looked under 17.
The staff are in my experience very helpful and polite.
And it more often than not, smells good.
To sum up everything I just said:
Hot Topic is no more "punk" than Old Navy.
They have some cool stuff, and some lame crap just like every other store.
Dorks call it a poser store because they are insecure and want to feel better about themselves. And hope by saying that, others will think they are more hardcore.

Get the Hot Topic mug.hot topic is a clothing store. shopping there doesn't make you a poser. shopping there and thinking you are original/goth/punk does. you are only original if you buy the stuff in hot topic before it comes out ;)
Normal person: i love hot topic i think i'll go get that new <insert band> t-shirt
Poser: i need to go to hot topic and pick up some more anti societal clothes, so people will know that i am an outcast.

Get the hot topic whore mug.Also known as "Hot pockets" by the gothic community who loathe to include said hot pockets but feel they must through some vague desire to progenerate and keep the culture going. Hot Pockets are considered a very sad perversion of a good (or bad, depending on your point of view) thing.
Goth 1: Do we really have to let these hot topic goths into the club? That has GOT to be a fake ID. The kid looks 12.
Goth 2: Yes. We have to pay for the club somehow, and the Hot Pockets have quite a bit of daddy's money to spend.
Goth 1: *le sigh*
