A label society uses to stereotype people who the public in general tend to consider "bad," or "scary."
"Goth" people are the type that many will go out of their way to avoid.
I can't speak for others who have been labelled, but many have refferred to me as "Goth." Presumably because I choose to wear black most of the time. usually with a trenchcoat. I have read many of the other definitions on here, and I can't say what is wright and what is wrong. This is simply the only stereotype I have been accused of being a part of. Personally I spent approximately 12 years with strong suicidal desires, later being diagnosed with bi-polar. The only really apparent aspects of my personality that I noticed which differ from "Normal," are my preference for black clothing, and I tend to stay back and speak less. Personally I consider stereotypes a lame attempt some people or groups make to attempt to seem "better" than others.
The most irritating part of this aspect of society to me, is when I meet people who suddenly decide to wear black and act depressed.
I have no problem with anyone wearing anything else, I merely get irritated when people try to be something they aren't. Especially when people talk about being suicidal and have no idea the struggle I go through on a regular basis simply to keep a desire to live. It's not pleasant, you don't want it, quit trying.
I have never met another person who has serious issues with being suicidal and has just decided to announce it. I certainly prefer to have nobody know.
