Fun themed apparel. I really don’t like going into the store though. The atmosphere is a little scary. The employees are always interesting characters and not super friendly or helpful.

I’ve shopped with hot topic a few times. I don’t love it and I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re into a lot of dark and emo looking clothing. The quality is not the highest and I don’t think you get your money’s worth.

Hot Topic is freaking crazy but if you need a good concert tee shirt or some random merchandise for Harry Potter or Alice in Wonderland, it's your place.

Very edgy style clothing. Some super cute options but it can be quite hard to shop on their site. Their main page feels chaotic and overwhelming and it can be hard to navigate through everything.

Hot Topic has the weirdest options of clothing. I honestly get a odd vibe from Hot Topic. Kind of gothic clothing, but if that is the vibe you are going for, go get the clothing. It definitely is for a certain type of crowd.

Lots of comic t-shirts and different designed shirts. Nothing I'd ever be interested. Some inappropriate clothing and the store itself is just weird. The customer service was not very great either.

Crazy store that’s for sure. Use to haha one in our mall but it got taken out and I’m not for sure why. Have different variety of things. Not always my favorite store to shop in but got some cool stuff!

Hot Topic is great for gag gifts for birthdays or bachelorette parties and small party favors or nitch interests. The quality isn't great but it gets the job done.

I find Hot Topic too expensive for the quality of things they sell. Sometimes what is on the website is completely different than what is actually given to me.

The clothing is too flashy and in your face, but I go there for the Disney pins, jewelry, and other products.

I bought a belt from Hot topic years ago, and because it was such good quality, it has lasted me this whole time!

Product quality and design isn’t the best, prices are high and overall experience isn’t always great

I love the designs, but I've yet to buy anything from Hot Topic that doesn't fall apart within a week.

Hot Topic was the place to go for angsty teen fashions. They also have a lot of band related T shirts.

The clothing is up to date in style, but always seems to be immodest and revealing.

Definitely a store for a certain crowd but it works for them. I think that it's pretty good prices
