get over yourselves. it's only a store that sells clothes. just like american eagle or ambercrombie and fitch. people shop there because they like the stuff. not because they're posers.
please, get a life. stop insulting Hot Topic on urban dictionary. you give the site a bad name
Makes a good quick present for your girlfreind on the day of her birthday
Person #1:oh man I almost forgot to get somethingfor my girlfreind Person #2: go to hot topic Preson #1: hey that's a good idea
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!
Ok i understand that people shop there and theyre diffrent and unique n all that but thats takin it a LITTLE to far ! You can have a sucky life and parents that arent there for you and stuff but that doesnt mean that u have to wear all black n black eyeliner covering up your whole face ! thats beyond stupid... !
Hey Guys i jus shopped @ Hot topic ! Guess what i got ? Some more black eyeliner, sum goth lookin pants and a black shirt that doesnt even fit me right !! i just where this beacuse im a wanna b ! i wanna be lyk the people in the bands !
This is a store to which people can find t-shirts, sweaters, hats, basically all attire that may have a faviorte band or funny saying. I personally go there, and I do not believe that I am trying to rebel against anything. And if I was trying to, to what would I be, society in itself, you could say the same thing about Pacific sunwear, Ecko, or any clothing store, they could all be considered rebelling against something. But I just want a shirt with my faviorte band's name on it.
Let's go to Hot Topic, and not rebel against anything, but rather buy some clothing articles, like we would in any other clothing store.
Many teens shop there trying to be "different" and "unique" Unfortunately many people who shop there think spending $60 on a pair of pants at Hot Topic makes you "rebellious" and "unique" yet spending that much money on a pair of pants at Abercrombie, Hollister or any other "preppy" store makes you a "mindless conformist" Their logic is also completely flawed in the fact that because Hot Topic's prices are somewhat low (well compared to many mall stores) and many teens have an urge to be "different" many teenagers shop there, thus making it the same "clone-wear" that people who wear "trendy" labels are classified as. So basically what I'm trying to say is, wear what you think is cool and don't judge others on what they choose to wear. If you think your any more original (or better as some people think) wearing X brand instead of Y brand then your only fooling yourself and making yourself look arrogant.
Prep/Goth/Punk/Skater etc... there all just labels. Be who YOU want to be, and respect those who choose to be different then you.
