its pretty much the punk rock equivalent to abercrombie or american eagle. the store reaches out to teens with a certian style and is pretty expensive. the kids that shop here spend 50 bucks on invader zim stuff, but criticize others for spending the same price on ripped abercrombie jeans. why can't you all stop criticizing each other, mind your own business and shop where you wanna shop dammit!!!
punk 1: look at that preppy bitch buying that 50 dolllar abercrombie shit! fucking ripped jeans are stupid and useless!
punk 2: lets go to hot topic and by invader zim stuff, its only 50 dollars.
punk 1: okay cool.

A clothing/merchandise store that has increased in popularity dramatically since the late 90's (even though the store itself has been in operation since the late 80's). Hot Topic's intention is to appeal primarily to the gothic, industrial and punk crowds, although in recent years it has also had tendences to cater to the metal and emo cultures among others. The franchise is often perceived negatively, both by the cultures it claims to represent, and those who are not interested in said cultures at all. This perception comes from the fact that a) Hot Topic often only explores the most popular and accessible bands in the previously stated cultures, b) adjusts their merchandise to changes in popular trends and c) often features variations of punk/gothic clothing that is intended to be more appealing to today's youth. Additionally, many also claim the accessories are overpriced and/or cheaply manufactured, and the stores tend to attract naive, impressionable teenagers that are primarily concerned with with the materialistic and surface appeal of the cultures represented (resulting in what could be labeled as faux-rebellion and mass conformism). Despite this, some simply see the store as a convenient place to buy accessories that are otherwise difficult to find without going online or visiting speciality stores. Hot Topic is often seen as a haven for posers because of its focus on popular rock merchandise; fans of the store often have a low opinion of clothing stores perceived as "preppy", such as Old Navy or Abercrombie and Fitch (incidentally, consumers of said stores often have a low opinion of those who shop at Hot Topic).
Hot Topic is just as negatively perceived as Old Navy or The Gap is.

Hot Topic is a clothing store just like Hollister or any of the other stores in the mall. Some people think that it is where people go there because it gives them "cred" in whatever little social group the buyer has been labeled in. I personally have been labeled in several groups which none of them are true to who I am. It is true that the prices can be a little outrageous at times but those who really like the clothes are going to be willing to pay for their favorite clothing. Hot Topic has all kinds of stuff and also stuff for everyone, even if you are in a specific clik.
I go to Hot Topic when I have time and a few dollars. There stuff is of high quality and last for a while.

The place where the Emos go to worship the Emo Gods, i.e. Pete Wentz, Gerard Way, Brendon Urie
Kaleigh and Kaili went to Hot Topic and came back with a t-shirt and a car refresher that smells like teen spirit.

A store that internet-socialites (aka posers and emofags) feel the need to defend shopping at. It makes them feel good about themselves.
