Hot Topic is an online and real store. Anyone can shop there. Its not making a statment or being a rebel. I bought a few things from there because I like them. I'm not goth, I like what i like and don't know how to classify myself I usually listen to like emo, screamo, metal and rock. Hot topic was made by GAP! Don't categorize people who buy stuff there as goth and what not because I would not say i'm goth. It's got cool band t-shirts and not everything is that expensive, depending on when it came out.
Girl: Oh look at that guy coming out of Hot Topic, he is so goth, just look at all his bags.
Boy: Yeah I know
"Goth chick": Oh look at that girl, she only has a little bag ... What a poseur
"Goth Guy": I know eh, she just wishes she was like this

Hot Topic Fetish is a fetish that some people may have, it is rare but definently does exist, most common in goth/ alt people. They will have the sudden urge to make our with their hot topic shirts, etc. It can even get sexual at some times.

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.

Similar to the term Hot topic goth or Hot topic punk. This scene dresses in mostly hot topic and claim to be cooler than almost everyone because they like slipknot and korn. Most of the time they despise the "preps" and think that they should "all go to hell" for undisclosed reasons.
