Hot Topic Kids, posers, or actually hardxcore? Options

I guess you could be right, although I don't exactly consider new found glory, green day, and other bands you listed as punk. Their pop punk, they classify under pop more now a days, punk music is supposed to have like a raw type sound, and usually these bands do with their first albums, and thats what people want that link punk music, but after the band comes out with their second album or so they end up being a bit more clean and lose that raw-ness to them, and thats when MTV and other music networks get ahold of them. -shrugs-

I shop at hottopic, I get called emo almost everyday, I've learned to just avoid it and laugh it off. If your going to take it seriously every time then your just wasting time at having fun. Although it is rather annoying and immature.

I listen to emotional punk music, I can't exactly stand 'pop punk' music though. I love green day's first albums and stuff, but when they came out with the American Idiot album, I got it before it hit stores and I didn't like it at all. I think I liked one song off of it and that was it. I also liked Fall out Boy before they came out wiht From under the cork tree album, I love all their demos before that album though. They sound almost completely different. I love indie music as well. But anyway to shop at a store, I don't exactly think you have to live up to what the store sells off. I mean think of it, surf shops or stores that sell quicksilver, and other such companies that sell surfing items, skating, or snowboarding. I know plenty of people that shop at those type of stores that have never touched a surf board, snow, or a skateboard. Its rather annoying I think, since I surfed and skateboarded and use to shop at such stores, but of course once I quit doing them I haven't exactly shopped there since. -shrugs- Thats just how I am though.

i love hot topic. why? they have the best tshirts out there.
no really. :]
but i know this one girl that shops there just because she wants to flaunt herself around shouting 'omfgzz you shop at hot topic?!?!?!! meee tooo!!'

..that is a poser.

and for me, posers are people who copy your every move, listen to music they dont like for the sake of being cool. even kids just trying to fit in. it's pretty annoying, if you ask me.

me, im no punk, nor do i listen to punk. at least i don't think i listen to punk. i don't really label the music i listen to anymore.

and i agree with almost everyone. besides the people defending there punkism or gothism or emoism in a way thats really not necessary. whatever.
