A store where people, often with very low self-esteem levels, shop because they feel that the negative attention they get is gratifying to them.

only good for band clothing (just because you can't make band clothing, and because you can't find it at thrift stores ANDDD because it's hard to order off the internet). "hot topic, it's where the poseurs go"
when i actually go to the mall, i laugh at the people in hot topic.

By the hot topic
An overly expensive mall store that sells to emo/punk/metal/scene kids and other kids and teens that fall under similar labels. It is constantly labeled a store for posers, which is pretty dumb. It's just a store people. It is unfortunately the only store of its kind (band merch selling kind) in my area, which gets me wrongly accused of being a poser.
Luke: I got this shirt at hot topic Chelsea: Poser! Trevor: Emo!
