a store found in many malls that seems like a punk store. However, if you ever happen to go inside, you'll realize it's nothing but a store dedicated to music. It's not just a store for "punk music"; even some preppy people shop there: some to buy a Justin Bieber shirt, others to get a Twilight poster. However, there are some people that just like clothes Hot Topic sells. There are even some Abercrombie & Fitch wearers who like to stop by. While the clothing is bad quality, and overpriced for the quality, many people don't seem to mind or complain, since there aren't many stores in the mall just like it.
Let's go to Hot Topic to find a couple shirts of my favorite bands!

Hot topic is a store, found in many malls, that sells things from Lordi shirts to Foster's home for imaginary friends shirts, black studded bracelets to pink jelly bracelets. They sell a lot of type of jeans in styles and colors hard to find other places. people say that its over priced, but most of the shirts are like $10-$15. shirts at other places are like $20-$40. Also, where else can you find skinny jeans for like 30 bucks? I shop there occasionally to get a band shirt or a shirt with a funny saying like "Don't Piss Off The Voices". I've seen some 5th grade girls looking like prostitutes in there, and ive seen a 6 ft 4" guy with long hair skinny jeans and eye liner, who definitly wasn't a "poser". I think people should shop where they like, not where every one at school likes.
Me: Wanna go to Hot Topic to get some sweet band shirts?
My friend: Yeah sure what bands do they have
Me: Postal service to marilyn manson

1) a place where you cant buy clothing that is lighter than black.

2) a store that is very dark inside...you must navigate yourself in there with a light...but it usually repulses people inside that work there
1) hot topic employee: hi how can i help you?
customer: umm yea where's your white shirts?
hot topic employee: get out! get the fuck out!

2) girl: my oh my it sure is dark in here...
guy: yah gimme a flashlight.
hot topic employee: turn off that damn light!

mkayy, well i don't know why the fuck everyone says it's for posers, because if you like what you wear, your not a fucking poser. it's just a store people. okay, maybe it has colorful skinny jeans and studded belts and a shitload of band t's. but A.E. or Hollister or Abercrombie is filled with destroted jeans, thin shirts, leather belts, and hundred-dollar perfumes. get over yourselves.
you shop at Hollister when you want destroyed jeans.
i shop at Hot Topic when i want skinny jeans.
done.
