Hot Topic is okay for stuff once in a while. I'll get a newsboy hat or belt there. But if you shop there all the time, you're gonna look like everyone else. Whether or not that makes you a poser doesn't really matter to me, but it does make you unoriginal.
If you can't sew, go to Ebay and type in "DIY" in Clothes. A lot of people sell one of a kind clothes there that they reconstructed themselves. It's a little more expensive, but if you don't wanna look like everyone else but have two left hands then it's worth it. Plus, you're then supporting individual creativity and not a corporation.
And Hot Topic is not really Goth anyways. This is not according to my personal Goth-o-Meter, but due to the fact that they carry metal, punk, emo, and all that other stuff. That makes them more of an eclectic subculture corporate mechanism.
