Hot Topic's a gothic store. Pretty weird if ya ask me. They sell all that black junk with the red stitches and chains, etc.

My cousins call that a prep area. Don't know why. Never been there either, but I could get scared.

i remember when i went into hot topic for the first time `cause my friend wanted to go, and while i got distracted, i lost her, so i was lookin` for her around the store and i couldn`t find her. while i was lookin` for her, some dude that worked there was following me around and when i finally stopped, he asks me, "are you lookin` for something?" lol i got freaked out `cause i thought he was stalking me. turns out my friend was outside.

Hot Topic is a great store. If you are curious about what sort of merchandise they carry go to the website. You could easiely find it by typing Hot Topic into a search.

I pass by the store, but I never venture inside. Besides, with a store called Foot Locker right next to it, I'd just head in there and look at the Nike's.

I used to go to Hot Topic all the time to get earring gages, clever t-shirts, beanies, wristbands, wallets, and so forth. It's really mainly, I think, for the more skateboarder/gothic/stoner people. They sell shit like drug t-shirts and band t-shirts, stuff of that nature. Really cool store, I'm even wearing my "Whore Master" beanie I got there.

I think I've seen the store in a magazine advertisement. Looks kinda freaky to me.

um. i go into hot topic every time i go to the mall. its not scary. wtf. and how the he!l is it a prep area??? the other day, i went to the mall, and the preps were daring each other to go into the store. i mean, come on. that is so stupid. i like their mascara and eyeliner stuff...i like their clothes and armwarmers. i LOVE their pins and wristbands. heck, i like everything in Hot Topic! but i guess it is pretty much an area for punk/goth/skater people, even though i don't like to label myself.

I've been in there once, and I don't understand why people would want to wear those kinds of clothes. I'm all for being an individual, but please, could you lighten up on the black and the studs?

ok Hot Topic was originally a Punk/Goth store where you could buy Shirts of GOOD BANDS like Led and The Doors but now it has turned into a SIMPLE PLAN and GOOD CHARLOTTE warehouse eghh I still go there to buy some Napolean Dynamite shirts and lunch boxes but It has turned into a disgrace to the whole rock society

At first I was really scared of that store. I never dared going in there before. But then when I had to buy a superhero tee-shirt; I had no choice but to get it in there. So yeah. Hahaha. Although it seemed fine, it still freaked me out. Which is ironic. Hehehe...

Yeah..theres like all gothic clothes and weird ppl there..f**k no i wouldnt buy clothes from there
yeah; ive been there a couple of times. its pretty cool. its like one of those store s like YRB. Punkish style.
It also is created by the person that created uhhmm.. i think areopastale. A preppy store and a punkish store by one person.

i've heard of that store! i've been in it 2! it's weird.......it's like a lil' 2 gothic. since it's like a gothic store i thot it was weird that they were selling Napolean Dynimite stuff.
yupimchuck
Jun 5 2005, 11:58 AM
Im friends with alot of people that work there.
I dont really like their stuff.
but everyone says my first job will be there.
Eh, I dont know thou.
The whole "mall-goth" thing that they started, i dont like those people.
But its cool to get a job there since you can go to free shows if you fill out a report of what the kids were wearing.
&most the poeple i know thta work there are great.

hot topic is in a lot of places. i dont live in the states, they dont have hot topic in taiwan, and even i've heard of it.
how can you be scared of the place? O_o. it's owned by the owners of abercrombie&fitch. i like the clothes, i'd buy stuff from there only if it werent so damn expensive.
it's not even really that hardcore.
