An annoying immature preteen, teenager or young adult who thinks its cool to shop at hot topic and does so souly for that reason. They buy band tees of bands they've never even heard of, and think that wearing wristbands with posessed cartoons on them is all there is to life. Most will eventually grow out of this horrible stage of adolescence but some never do. Sad, but very true.
So I was in the mall, and all of a sudden I see this group of hot topic kids swarming around one of those kiosks that sold shirts with sarcastic messages printed across the front. It was like a swarm of flies on a dead carcas. Discusting.

Probably emo or an e-girl/ boy. They like dying their hair purple and cutting half off.
Things they enjoy: nose piercings, Panic! At The Disco, and lowercase typing
they hate everyone!

Pretty much the worst insult any punk/hardxcore/goth kid can throw at you. Basically you're a spoiled, rich little poser who thinks they're hot shit because they buy pre-ripped, pre-faded $60 jeans to look cool. Hot Topic is the scourge of the punk/grunge scene.

the art of selling out not exatly being an artist at hot topic but the general idea of making your merch cost so much more
or
to be used jokingly to some one to refer to them as a poser

GUY2: "man, you are so hot topic-core"

Millennial's that base their pop culture and memes on hot topic merchandise including movies, cartoons & bands they can't identity songs from but damn it looks cool in the store.
Hot topic generation = 20 year old wearing a Ramones tee, "What's rock n roll high school? Blind stare
