A goth is someone who hate to be labled. Therefore they would NOT say they are goth. A goth is someone who is very creative and expresses themselves through art and their clothing. A goth can NOT be a prep. A goth CAN be a 12 year old, because a goth is someone who is true to themselves and always act lie themselves...do you have a problem with that?

One of the few respectable subcultures in that they're not retarded children who must make themselves the center of attention by moaning about slight imperfections grossly romanticized (emo) or equally stupid lemmings who try to follow random, often mixed up, misinformed and ignorant stereotypes surrounding certain subcultures (scenesters). Goths are truly artistic and are often very friendly and intelligent once you get to know them. They are often demonized by high school councilors who act like they have a fork stuck up their ass and mainstream media-slaves because of their popular association with Counter-culture religions and philosophies(i.e. Lucifinarianism, Wicca, etc.) this presumption is more often than not untrue and just goes to show how ignorant people can be.
Goths are often misunderstood because dispite artistic flavor and expression, it is often manifested in masochistic/sadist themes. And if you can't appreciate darker forms of expression, art, music and writing, go fuck yourself you pretentious little fucknut.
Goth is also respectable in that it's not about non-comformity. It's about free expression, not just shitting out reasons to stand against mainstream ideas just for the hell of it. People have reasons not to comform. And those who do it because they think that the mainstream is stupid or pretentious and ignorant or because they believe that that's just not who they are should be respected. But those who fake personalities and look up reasons to go against popular thinking in urbandictionary should be dragged behind the gym by Varsity football and beaten until their intestines start to spill from their mouth.

YES:
The kids who eat lunch by themselves, perhaps play with sharpies, may or may not have body tattoos or piercings (each to his/her own choice) take several art-based (fine art included) classes, hate preps and seem to be having more fun than most people.
NO:
The fucknuts who think that dressing in black and scratching copious amounts of eye-liner on and chanting about the rise of Satan to eat everyone's testes and ovaries makes them a non-comformist goth.

a goth is some1 that listens to heavy metal/emo/rock/death metal/goth music. despite wot chavs say about goths they dont all wear long black leather coats and worship satan. goths just dont like to be in wiv the latest fasions nd listen to r&b nd hip hop music. a goth is actually a very nice person and probally alot nicer to speak to than a chav coz a goth is just some1 being theirself unlike a chav that trys to be sumthing and some1 they aint.
my friend has just became a goth but hasn't realli changed that much to be honest she has became a nicer person

now: a growing middle/high school clique that has taken in many loner teens. they usually listen to bad music, but most are pretty cool people. they dont really do anything bad now, they just are being themselves. they seem alright to me, except for the scary ones.

ok, after reading your definitions, im amazed people actualy post here. alot of people have it right, but noone is rong.
musicaly, goth is nolonger aroung,
spiritualy, goth is dying
fashion wise, goth is being replaced,
for the people who label themselves goth, get a grip,
for the people who are labled goth, be proud people see you as yourself.
after reading them all, all ive found, is that stereotypes of goth are wrong, and so are most of the defenitions. goth is a culture, a way of life, and a way through for some of us.
i am 13, and ive been labled for over 4 years, i couldnt care, if they want to call me goth, let them, all i know is that if they label you, they are making thwemselces no better than that which they are mocking.

them: hes one of those goths who try to kill themselves

them: gay boy
me: im not gay, alough i know alot of people who are.
them: what is with him, thinking is all hrd, because he slits his wrists
me: i dont slit my wrists, i write poetry to unwind, i slit myself to realise that things could be worse, and i hate people like you because they need to take the mick out of us sor a few cheap laughs, when it would be much easier to go out and get a fewdecent friends, and have a decent life, than ruining it just to be popular

a goth is someone who would hate to be thought of as someone "like them."
"Them" being both Trendies and Townies. they dress the way they do as a statement to the general public so they will not mistake their inclinations.
most goths think that nu-metal is the scourge of modern society and think that the world might just be bearable if there were no townies,Trendies,preppies, jocks, murderers or hatemongerers.

Ancient 3rd and 4th Century Germanic people that invaded the Roman Empire; aiding in its fall, a style of architecture, music, art, fashion, and literature that has been degraded to (mostly, not all) selfless, ignorant teenagers that can't cope with life, and find that dressing in black, wearing black make-up, listening to heavy metal, and cutting themselves is the answer to their 'horrible life.'
For some of them, they're just pessimistic.. but atleast some of they actually have a sense of grammar, and.. some sorts of intelligence.

Kiddies out there with abusive parents, who are 'goth', don't cut yourself. There's something called.. police.
