Place at the mall to shop. Does it really matter what kind of people go in there? And why do you care what people are writing about it?

Get the Hot Topic kid mug.Since everyone else said it (itsa store in the mall, posers, blah blah, "owned by GAP", et cetera) I'll just add on to this.
Hot Topic's bags are pretty useful, the drawstring stuff, hey, that's clever.

Get the Hot Topic mug.An overpriced store that sells clothes that make teenies think they are "gothic" or "punks". It does, however have some good band merchandise and CD's. I like what they sell, but I dont like the effect it's having on kids. These kids think anarchy means forgetting to brush your teeth before bed.
Good Stuff: Ramones, Rancid, Misfits shirts, patches and pins
Bad stuff: the 50 different styles of good charlotte shirts, the overpricedness, and the effect it's got on kid "anarchists"

Get the Hot Topic Punk mug.The week long-lasting pants full of excitement one attains from the current popular "trend". It comes and goes with blockbuster movies, hit youtube videos and other various things teenagers worship. This usually results in a weekly trip to Hot Topic to purchase a t-shirt and/or other merchandise with the trend plastered all over it.
Jesse: AJ's goin' hard about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. He just bought the official soundtrack and a t-shirt.
Jeremy: That's just his Hot Topic Boner actin' up. He'll forget about it when Harry Potter 6 comes out.

Get the Hot Topic Boner mug.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.
