An extremely overpriced store in which posers shop. Get this one thing straight... to be gothic is not to wear black or shit like most of you believe.Being gothic is to be different, to laugh at life, You can prefer the darker side, but if you take it seriously you are already full of shit.No two real goths are the same, and usually arent sad people wearing a shirt that says "Ill go cut myself" but are humorous and fun to be around.
Yes, I shop at hot topic.Define shop...I bought an eyebrow barbell there, and a T-shirt at one point.Its not worth making your life based on it though.

A store that is somewhat popular and turns cool things into "fads." Ruins cool animes, movies, and tv shows such as Naruto, Zelda, Full Metal Alchemist, Nightmare Before Christmas, Invader Zim, ect. Basically it just turns everything you like into a fad where everyone thinks its the coolest thing ever and half of them dont know anything about it =)
Maz: Oh, you like invader zim?
Girl with IZ tote bag: oh, yea, hes my favorite character
Maz: Remember that episode where he shrinks and is eaten by Dib?
Girl: Who was dib again?
Maz: ...
----------
Boy: dood, I just bought a nightmare before christmas jacket from hot topic!
Maz: Youve never even seen the movie, have you.
Boy: no

oh my god. you kids need to grow up.
hot topic is a punk/scene/emo apparel store that sells accessories, shoes, music and other odds and ends. the prices are not as expensive as other urban dictionary users are making them out to be. most shirts are $20 and they often have major sales marking down half the store by 25-75%. trust me, ive shopped in both hot topic and abercrombie, a shirt not in clearance is the same price or more. and kids that shop there don't necessarily think that they're being original, but thats the style they like and they cant exactly walk into hollister and get it. its not like american eagle and aeropostle wearers are being original either.
it doesnt really matter whos being original and whos not. people like what they like. stop bashing.

a store where people can shop at. it sells mostly clothing that is "dark" or "punk" it is a good place to buy band gear, and clothes/pins/whatever about a televison show or a movie. you can also buy hair stuff and black makeup there. and sometimes they have cool blankets and such. (i got a really fuzzy faerie blanket from there for chirstmas, i love it.)

Just a store. Some people go there in the idea that theyre being rebellious. But they're not. Hot Topic sells a variety of band shirts, shirts with jokes, etc. They also sell funny buttons or bumber stickers. In addition they sell jewelry (not all got or punk or emo!), family guy merchandise, and anime stuff...Mostly inuyasha or fma.
Wow. This pink shirt with al on it is soo cute!
I love this sticker with Stewie on it saying delightfully white trash.
DUDE! *emo tear* i couldnt go to hot topic but i did anyways because im soo emo/skater/punk/rebel/electrikk/goth/scene and bought really huge black pants.

a store that sells merchandise which teenagers use to make them feel like theyre "punk" or "goth" and alternative. they think it is the anti-abercrombie, when in fact A&F and hot topic are both multimillion dollar chain stores with overpriced clothing. there is nothing alternative or punk or goth about hot topic, its just another store. so dont think that if you shop there you will become different, because it's in the same boast as A&F, only less slutty.
"i went to hot topic today! look at the clothes i got! theyre kind of a goth/punk theme! now i will pretend to be depressed while cutting myself!"
"dont be such a fucking loser, and wear some better clothes please"
