Well, yes it is a store. A chain store no less. But from what other store can you buy "punk" and/or "goth" styled clothing. there aren't too many choices to my knowledge. And where I live it is the only option. No, shopping there doesn't more or less make you different from everyone else, but seriously how many people of this generation of America are going to sit down and craft there own clothing; Not too many. (other than my self whom is a fashion Design major, and various people who are freaks like my self, Good for you to those of whom do)
You got to give credit to the company though for cashing in on the style and marketing it. Who ever is sitting in with the company has got a small fortune going on. This also falls with the fact that they are the only real chain "goth/punk" store they don't have competitors so they can charge as much as they want. I will admit though, they are horrendously over priced. I work for an independent company and we have accounts with some of the same product companies Hot Topic buys from, and they making something like a 60% profit from the original whole sale price. Which is absolutely disgusting, if not ludicrous

I some times like to wander though Hot Topic and comment on how I can make the same stupid products 7 bucks (or something)and make it look better no less.

All my friends are toxic, all ambitionless
So rude and always negative
I need new friends, but it's not that quick and easy
Oh, I'm drowning, let me breathe
I'm better off all by myself
Though I'm feelin' kinda empty without somebody else
Oh, I hear you cryin' out for help
But you never showed for me when I was ringin' your cellphone
Oh, you don't know how it feels to be alone
Baby, oh, I'll make you know, I'll make you know, oh
But life is immaculate, backin' it up a bit
Countin' my hours and knocking on wood
Avoiding my opposites, chewin' on chocolate
Had a bit limited time, but I should
Be good for a minute, don't want to admit it
I'm running on seconds, I'm rigid, I'm screwed
Don't know what to do, I'm thinking of you
I'm drinking up bottles and bottles of booze
I'm better off all by myself

Get the Hot Topic mug.Just a man being a man, the word Toxic was added by feminists in order to shame men, and be the ones to take control over the men.
Feminists usually don't call Criminals as Criminals. No, they just use this term instead and blame all the men who can't control.
The main concept is just to turn men into Beta Simps, and be a woman's puppy.
Unfortunately, they succeed into achieving this, and most men now are just weak, and their wifes treat them like a shit, which they can't do anything about it because the whole system is just glorifying women and is on their side, no matter what.
In todays world there is about 10% of men left who are Masculine (or what they call Toxic Masculine) and being themselves and not causing harm to anyone, but they are being targeted by feminists in order to kill masculinity and take the charge.

Simp: I'll pay for her, I'll treat her like a queen and make her happy, so this way she will love me and be with me. (Gets used)
A man with toxic masculinity: *he doesn't give a damn about women, but still they chase him*
