A person belonging to the gothic subculture.
Generally, goths value their own image or making a certain statement over being a productive member of society. Unable to see past their desire to reject a follow-the-heard-mentality, they will often dress in a way that may prevent them from landing job interviews, or being invited to certain social gatherings which may prove to be real door openers in terms of making a productive life for themselves.
Many, but not all goths will ironically speak poorly of those who conform to societal demands, while simultaneously conforming to the subculture of their choice.
Many goths lack any sort of fashion sense, in the traditional form. This is noted by the clothes they wear, often featuring the neutral color black, which can be easy to work into any outfit without running into different colors and their inability to match.
Due to the same logic that drives them to dress in a way which denies them a life of money and professionalism, goths can sometimes be found getting tattoos which may be hard to cover up.
Goths are generally teenagers and young adults who don't quite understand the way the world works, in terms of the economy, personal wealth and social hierarchies and how they influence one another. They often feel they have all the answers to life (see "Irremovable tattoos preventing future success").

Grandma: "How is Gina doing?"
Mother: "Not very good. She's made the decision to not follow the herd and to let it be known. I get that living outside of societal norms can be a very rewarding experience for certain people, but she's young, she might change her mind in the future. Despite that, she's making decisions now that may close doors later on in life."
Grandma: "You mean like a goth?"
Mother: "Yes, like a goth."
