	Cool things about shopping at Hot Topic include being seen around other gay little Marilyn Mansonites thus making you [[Lame\|cool]], paying upwards of $50 for a pair of pants that will completely fall apart within a few months of normal wear, buying patented "finger armor" (to put on your fingers before you dare to explore your nasty goth girlfriend's cavernous vagina), telling your friends how [[Emo\|dark and mysterious]] you are for going there to buy ''[[Jhonen Vasquez\|Johnny The Homicidal Maniac]]'' comics, and eventually, coming to sneer at the place you used to love so much because they've "sold out" and are now catering to emos, scene kids, goths and even hipsters.

	The sad part is, it no longer caters to wannabe-goth and emos now, you're more likely to find "mainstream" pop-culture shit like [[Doctor Who]], [[Cartoon Network]], [[Disney]], and [[~~My Little Pony~~]] there now!

	In an example of life coming full circle, Hot Topic has taken steps toward eliminating [[fat\|fat girls]] - once a dominating force in whimpering music subcultures - from their locations, though they still sell plus-size gothic [[lolita]] clothing (which is horrifying). They have begun opening a chain of stores, called [http://www.torrid.com/torrid/index.jsp '''Torrid''' (A.K.A. Fat Topic)], that provide [[fat\|fat girls]] a place to purchase clothing that is decidedly less "hot topic". These stores are normally located on separate floors to help keep the fat girls from [[I accidentally X\|accidentally]] wandering into Hot Topic. Any Torrid is hopefully kept at ground or better basement level to keep the building from caving in. Also fat girls get too sweaty from taking the escalator.

	Hot Topic can be identified up close by its [[goatse\|large black circular entrance]] with retarded spiderweb-reminiscent iron webbing and small display of novelty t-shirts in two windows located adjacent on either side. However, from a distance, the store usually can be identified by emo, punk, goth or fag metal music playing at high volume and the putrid smell of incense. Music varies from location to location, depending on the musical preferences of the [[16 year old girl\|store's clerks]], as well as the season in which the store is visited (example: fag metal is played in the summer, but is only allowed to be played certain times during the fall, winter, and spring - "the School Year" for all the kids who shop there). [[Tara Gilesbie]] travels to the [[United States]] daily to shop at Hot Topic. The lighting in the store will also be dimmed down to the point where consumers will not know all the terrible shit they just bought until they are outside. At this point the consumer can't return the product because typical hot topic consumers melt in the sun.
