Hot Topic

A chain store for people who hate chain stores.

The pierce monkey at Hot Topic kept flirting with me so I got my skate-board-punk-ass out of there.

Hot Topic

A store in which things are overpriced, and ok quality, its only good for the music, and the t-shirts. Oh, and they're really easy to rip off buttons from.

Lets go check out hot topic, but stay away from the good charlotte crap.

Hot Topic

Punk in a box. Somehow, kids think that a good way to rebel is to give your money to a multimillion dollar company. Yeah. Maybe if they thought about it for a bit instead of mindlessly stampeding to hot topic to fit in with the trend, they'd realize the stupidity of it all.

Instead of wasting money buying shitty merchandise at hot-topic, maybe you could give to charity or something.

Hot Topic.

Hot Topic is an American chain store that specializes in music-related fashion and merchandise. It caters to a number of youth-oriented subcultures and countercultures, such as punk, goth, club, street and lounge, as well as a number of general and 1980s retro pop culture products.

In most states, Hot topic is the best place (if not the only place) to buy a concert style band tee-shirt for under $20.
