What's on your mug?

Coming from someone who gets all clothes from there and has never stepped foot in Aeropostale; Hot Topic is the dominant sub-culture store. Its not for clones who wear the same thing, its for the exact opposite really. No, its not a preppy store in the least; if u dont like it stop searching it. Its a killer store with great clothes and loads of other stuff. Its not an Emo/Goth store; labels are for pussys.

Zomg,, i need a new band shirt, this ones like a week old; TO HOT TOPIC!

GAP for Goths

Yea, I listen to Good Charlotte and shop at hot topic! Screw you, prep, I'm totally a hardcore goth!

It's just a store in every mall, where most posers go to shop. I go there to purchase some shirts/hoodies from my favorite bands, and not once I have gone there without hearing at least 2 posers and 2 normal people I've literally heard people say this:

Poser1: "Man, my mom would never let me have that ICP poster!" Poser2:"Yeah man, buy it!" Poser1:"Let's buy something my mom would never let me wear." Poser2:"Yeah, how about that Good Charlotte shirt? They're pretty gothic." NormalPerson1:"Can I borrow some money for that Sabbath shirt man?" NormalPerson2: "Uh, sure." So yeah, if you only go there 'cause you think you're being rebellious or just to prove you're some "uber goth anarchist skater dude" or whatever, then you're truly a poser.

It's like abercrombie for kids who are goth,emo,punk, and possibly scen. not a store for "nonconformists" just another store in the mall for people with more alternative lifestyles

I shop a Hot Topic because I like the clothing and other shit they selll

a mighty fine shop. probably the only place besides ebay that i can purchase a wide variety of neat shirts (tees, fishnets, you name it). also a good place to pick up some non-traditional-colored hair dye and temporary hair color, and the only place i really get my jelly bracelets from.

ppl are always like hot topic sux but im like stfu ass its a great store with comfy clothing
