An over priced store where "punk" kids go to be "totally non-conformist". But buying overpriced clothes from a shitty store is the equivalent to shopping at A&F. Here's an idea, shop at a thrift store or steal the shit.
Stupid Kid: "Look at those conformists shopping at American Eagle. You guys want to go to Hot Topic?" Everyone: "yeah"

Hot Topic is a place where 12 year old girls shop to buy Fall Out Boy shirts and think there so HXC Hot Topic is also a place where heavy girls try to squeeze themselves into Corsets with ugly bondage pants and think they are HXC while listening to Slipknot
Girl:Did you buy that new slipknot cd at Hot Topic? Guy:Hell yeah I dig guys in masks

A store where *most* "posers" acquire a certain punk look.
True punks make their own clothes, posers buy them... (at Hot Topic).

a poser store, nonetheless. It attempts to sell the "punk look" which is stupid, mainly because there is no "punk look" and the "punk look" they try to sell is the bastardized punk look from bands from the sex pistols and onward. If you shop there and give them the sales, then you are giving in to the fucks and are a poser.
poser: "Im being myself by shopping here" me: "no you arent you're giving into corporate america and even if youre buying bands that are good you're still a poser for giving into a place that gives a wrong idea of what punk is." poser: "come on, hot topic is just a store" me: "Hitler was just a person, you know"

A store that sells clothing and accessories for those not inclined to shop at places like Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister. They sell a bit darker variety of items, all of which are just as over-priced as before-mentioned retailers.
Gothic Girl #1: Eww..look at all those preppies coming out of A & F with their 20$ T-Shirts and $80 jeans. Gothic Girl #2: I know! We'll never be as stupid as them. Now let's go shop at Hot Topic! (after shopping) Gothic Girl #1: I found a lot of great stuff in there today! Gothic Girl #2: yeah, me too. I just love my new $5 shoelaces, $70 skirt, and $80 pair of sneakers!
