It's a store, it's not just for people who are posers and is actually a great place to purchase band t-shirts. Most people say it's the emo equivalent to Abercrombie, and this is true, because Abercrombie and Hot Topic are owned by the same damn company!
I went to Hot Topic to buy a band shirt.

fairly expensive store which sells things like spikes, stickers, and stuff like that. fairly good if you're into that stuff. place where preps can go and act punk, where punks can go and get poser-punk stuff, and where others can go and get whatever because they don't really care, they just like it. it's possible. honest
"y'know that place hot topic? it's such an avril lavigne store!" "well...yeah. avril DOES shop there. but does that make it a poser store, even if she is one?" "yeah." "idiot."

A brand we don't have here. A place I wanna go to buy a couple of stuff. No, not to be punk, but because i LIKE THEM.
Whatever you buy... someone else, somewhere else would have it. unless you made it yourself with cloth you got in a third worl country... no, you are not different from everybody else. period

An expensive store that sells clothing featuring mainstream bands and cartoon characters.
Sale at Hot Topic! Sweatshirts are only $50 dollars today! Whoo-hoo!

a store popular with the punk/goth scene.It's often reffered to as a "poser store" by many despite the fact that not everyone that shops there really is a poser.Think about it.There aren't many stores out there that targets the punk/goth scene so anyone calling it a "poserfest" give it a rest.HotTopic is not for everyone.
she shops at HotTopic!What a poser! I shop at Hot Topic occasionally and I really don't care if people think it's for posers.I wear what I like. I don't like Hot Topic.It's not my style.
