What's on your mug?

A store to buy clothing that is some what high priced but on occasion can be found to be somewhat cheap on certain items mostly accesories and other baubles and trinkits. the craze swept the nation though that as long as you were clothes from there you are infact a goth or a punk this in its essence is a poser statement and is demagraphicaly inaccurate because more than one prep or jock has shopped there and it wont be the last one so lay off of the store or ill go down and make fun of your starbucks coffee for being a "propaganda" it is a store that sells clothes nothing more it is not instant goth-ness or instant punk-ness

Prep: ya ive recently been getting into greenday so im gonna go down there and buy that tee i saw at hot topic Idiot prep: oooooh u mean that goth store across from spencers! prep: no that place that sells the greenday tee. poser:ya i shop there all the time because its black *idiot the colour its self shouldnt be a reason or turn off to shop at a place unless your anniplectic and go into spasms in a dark room then its ok.

A company that I own stock in and made tons of money off because the stock has split several times since I bought it. I'd like to thank all the 16 year olds who shop there. When I take my next vacation, and I'm reclining in the first class cabin, I'll propose a toast just for you.

Look, Hot Topic's stock split again. Let's sell some of it and go someplace exotic!

A store that sells clothes for each \"Scene\" So what if the teenies shop there, we can just make fun of them. Shopping there doesn\'t make you a poseur as long as you shop there because you actually like the clothes. Not because Seventeen said \"punk is the new goth\" or whatever. (Another note, I don\'t classify myself as anything. I wear whatever the hell I decided on wearing that day)

Good reason: >ME< Did you hear that new From First To Last CD, I heard Hot Topic has it. >Friend< Cool, they have this Invader Zim bookbag that has GIR on it. Bad Reason: >randomteenie1< OMG, I just saw this new band Senses Fail on TV and now I like have to like buy all of their CDs because if I don\'t then I won\'t be cool. >randomteenie2< The lead singer is like soooo hawt. I just need to steal Daddy\'s credit card so I can buy some bondage pants cause they\'re like so awesome. And i want some Anarchy patches cause anarchy rulez! >me< Senses Fail isn\'t new, they\'ve been out for a few years. And do you even know what anarchy means? (I\'ve actually had this conversation before)

A store that has a bunch of stupid crap ranging from pentagrams to hello kitty T-Shirts. Some stuff in it looks good, but its really expensive, and you could probably make the same clothes yourself and save 55$. Some stuff in Hot Topic makes you simply look retarded. If you have down syndrome, smash some Invader Zim perfume in your eyes and toss on a Spongebob T-shirt from this place and you'll easily be identified as mentally retarded. This store is the equivalent to Ambercrombie, Hollister, all that crap but all the clothes are just dyed black with some chains thrown on them and, to finish it off, a bands name and picture slapped on. If you want a cheaper version of these clothes, go to any cheap clothing store, really cheap, just find clothing that you like the feel and look of. Fuck whatever company it was made by, buy it so long as it's cheap. Next, examine whatever retarded ass piece of clothing you want from Hot Topic. You want chains? Go get some chains, shouldn't be too expensive. You want black? Get some clothing dye (or if you were smart while getting the clothes, you already got a relatively close color). Want a picture on it? Find a place that will do just that, put a picture on it. Holy shit! You just saved, and this is nearly a shot in the dark, 30-40$! Wow!

I just went to Hot Topic and spent my entire paycheck for this week on 3 things.

A store found in some malls that was originally for mostly bands or gothic clothing, but now seems to focus more on Pop Culture stuff. The last time I went into Hot Topic, they had a wall of Disney Pullovers, Doctor Who stuff, some Marvel and even My Little Pony merch (for the bronies...I guess?) I rarely see anyone who shops there who looks older than 18. It's a neat store, last time I was there I got a David Tenant shirt, Wicked witch shirt, a Little Mermaid tank top and a Loki vs Thor shirt (which I now regret, as looking online they have much better Loki shirts online!)

Honestly there is probably something in here for everyone in Hot Topic...
