What's on your mug?

An alternative clothing and music store. Sells band shirts and CD's that don't fit with other stores, but most of which can be found at a local CD store(Though I doubt you'd find any Mindless Self Indulgence or The Missing CD's at Best Buy) If often called a poseur store because of it's attraction to goth punk or other mainstream subcultures. Pretty descent prices compared to other stores, but has alot of over-priced junk as well(Chained jeans, jackets and corsets) A nice store. I go there for shirts, jackets, gloves, and sometimes CD's and pins.

Ooh, these are some cool looking pants.. What? $60 for a pair of chained jeans?! I'll just borrow a pair of my friends for N.E. Gods sake! Friend 1: I went to Hot Topic this weekend and blew all my money on shirts.. Friend 2: OMG I GOT A PAIR OF PANTS! I'VE BEEN SAVING FOR THREE WEEKS TO GET A PAIR! Me: I like the clearence isle... I spent $16 dolars on three shirts and a pair of gloves!

A store catering to those who are partial to alternative fashion. Everyone has been at one time and 'normal' people are usually there more often than the alternatively-inclined ones.

a store where many kids who were raised in suburbia amerika think they can go to be different and "anti-social" and "goth" and all the other many labels. But in retro-spective the too are just another mindless clone. I myself will not lie i have shopped there and often still go in there but that is only because i have many friends who work there. I have been labeled goth and poser and punk blah blah blah, but honestly anymore i havent bought any clothes...i have made them all. i only bye shoes and underwear ...maybe a coat

cheerleader: Did you get that a hot topic? me: the patch yes the rest of the shit no i made it cheerleader: oh thats why it look so cheap. Me: at least i didnt spend $200 on a shirt hoodie and pair of pants. You only get all that shit because you blow dady for it every friday night.

A store so unique that it draws opinions from a bunch of consumers who have yet to come to the realization that as far as major corps go, their thoughts don't mean a fucking thing. Also, a target of mispelled, grammar-fucked critiques.

An extremely overpriced store in which posers shop. Get this one thing straight... to be gothic is not to wear black or shit like most of you believe.Being gothic is to be different, to laugh at life, You can prefer the darker side, but if you take it seriously you are already full of shit.No two real goths are the same, and usually arent sad people wearing a shirt that says "Ill go cut myself" but are humorous and fun to be around.

Yes, I shop at hot topic.Define shop...I bought an eyebrow barbell there, and a T-shirt at one point.Its not worth making your life based on it though.
