Bands who sell merch at Hot Topic and pander to bandwhore teenage girls. They are cliche "pop punk" or "post hardcore" by title. They all sound alike and their fans like them for the sake of band fandom, hence why their fanbases are all like "omg bandz omg lelelele so coot"
All Time Low , Pierce the Veil , Sleeping with Sirens , Forever the Sickest Kids , all that SHIT. Hot topic metal

A clothing store located in your nearest crappy mall. It has nothing to do with rebelling or being "original." I shop at Hot Topic because I love music. Not because I'm a "goth/emo" who's trying to rebel against socitey. The store motto is "All about the music" and I want a T-shirt with my favorite band on it, thanks. But when I go to the mall I go to Hot Topic, American Eagle, Aeropostle, and Hollister. And if that makes me a poser or whatever the crap you want to call it then hey I'll say it, "I'M A POSER!" It's a store. Just like American Eagle or Hollister or any other "preppy store." A way to waste your money on clothes that you'll only wear for two months because after three you're daddy will have to buy you a knew one becase "OMG, this shirt so old. It's so last season. I just don't think I can bare to wear it anymore!"
"Hey, let's go to Hot Topic or any other store in the mall and spend all our money on clothes we'll never wear" *skips away merrily*

Person #1: "Look at preppy guy wearing Abercrombie! God, I would never want to look like all THOSE people!
Person #2: "Yeah, let's go to hottopic and buy some baggy black pants and studded belts to really stand out!"
Abercrombi wearer: *Jams out to Napalm Death on his way to the bar to get some fine ass*

some of the friendliest employees you'll ever meet.
They will come up and start talking to anyone like they are best friends.
They don't discriminate if you are wearing "non-dark" clothing...
So nice you almost feel like you are getting hit on

I went into Hot Topic in soccer shorts and track t shirt and the hot topic employees were still friendly with me.
I thought that hot topic guy was hitting on me until I found out it was all a part of his job. Those child predators lurking outside was another story...gross...
