A store that is somewhat popular and turns cool things into "fads." Ruins cool animes, movies, and tv shows such as Naruto, Zelda, Full Metal Alchemist, Nightmare Before Christmas, Invader Zim, ect. Basically it just turns everything you like into a fad where everyone thinks its the coolest thing ever and half of them dont know anything about it =)

Maz: Oh, you like invader zim? Girl with IZ tote bag: oh, yea, hes my favorite character Maz: Remember that episode where he shrinks and is eaten by Dib? Girl: Who was dib again? Maz: ... ---------- Boy: dood, I just bought a nightmare before christmas jacket from hot topic! Maz: Youve never even seen the movie, have you. Boy: no

oh my god. you kids need to grow up. hot topic is a punk/scene/emo apparel store that sells accessories, shoes, music and other odds and ends. the prices are not as expensive as other urban dictionary users are making them out to be. most shirts are $20 and they often have major sales marking down half the store by 25-75%. trust me, ive shopped in both hot topic and abercrombie, a shirt not in clearance is the same price or more. and kids that shop there don't necessarily think that they're being original, but thats the style they like and they cant exactly walk into hollister and get it. its not like american eagle and aeropostle wearers are being original either. it doesnt really matter whos being original and whos not. people like what they like. stop bashing.

teen: i'm going to run down to hot topic to get some new clothes. I have a rip in my power rangers shirt.

A chain of stores, linked to the Gap, that markets supposedly "radical" ideas and styles to angsty teens who are pissed off for no apparent reason...making them feel superior to others who buy overpriced A&F stuff, while they don't see that what they are buying is equally overpriced. Hot topic seems to have an agenda of actually MONOPOLIZING non-conformity,so anyone without a brain could even see that it's a bunch of shit.

"I'm such a rebel! i got this anarchy shirt at hot topic!" "Hmm....'made in mexico.' Oh, wasn't there a massacre by the police a few weeks ago at one of HT's factories during the IWW strike?"

A topic that is hot.

The war in Iraq is a hot topic.
