Goth Bands: Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus, Joy Division, London After Midnight, The Damned, Mission UK, etc.
NON-Goth Bands: Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Linkin Park, KoRn, etc. The Cure is New Wave, NOT goth! They were only goth rock for ONE album!

a person who is not fit into normal society, they are stereotyped as "evil" in truth they are not. Commom enemies are the "preps."

goths are not dark, depressing and all that, im called a goth nearly every day, i hang round with goths, skaters, emos, chavs, everyone really. i dont dress in black because im always depressed i wear it 'cause i want to, and i have never seen anyone wear an outfit anything like one of mine. yes i do get depressed sometimes but i can also be insanely hyper, which i am most of the time, yes i do listen to heavy rock, death metal, emo, screamo.... but i do also have a massive RnB CD, althoug addmittedly i dont listen to that as much as i listen to rock, yes i do know goths that cut themselves but i also know alot of preppy girls that do to, and these are the same girls that diss goths and call them 'f**kin wrist slitters' when only one or two people in our group of well over 20 in school do actually cut themselves. if any groups dont get along round here its goths and chavs, but like i said, i get along great with some and hang aruond with them all the time. i do wear eyeliner and i know boys that do to, people say all goths and emos are depressing but were just the same as everyone else out there, just we have a different stle of clothing. to me it seems the other way around, when im out with my 'goth' friends i have loads of fun as they are the craziest and most hyper people i'v ever met, but then i see a group of 'chavs' sat on a wall lookin gloomy only for them to turn around and say something about depressing goths(no offence, some are awesome). i can accept anyone or at least give them a chance, but no one accepts me because of the way i dress. We live in a world where no matter what someone says, does or wears you will be stereotyped, and there will always be someone out there who will dilike something, if not everything, about you and your group of friends and the people you talk to. surely if a 14 year old girl can see that there is no difference between herself and anyone else, why cant the rest of the world be the same instead of having a verbal war waging between groups?
im not the stereotype goth and very few are, im not from an upper class family, im not a complete idiot, ima christian and go to church(!)and no its not a satanic church, i dont smoke or do drugs. im just a normal kid with an individual sense of style and music preference, the same as every other teenage goth really.
by the scary goth you probably dont know.... October 14, 2006
a group of people who see things from a unique point of veiw. often outcast from society at an early age for some stupid reason kids think of in the schoolyard. these 'outcasts' usaully come together to find common ground with each other and become good frinds. they have a laugh the whole time and enjoy life more than most people. their outside look on the people who try to be popular allow them to see the pointlessness of teenage society. goths cannot be defined by what they wear and how they act around the 'popular' as looks can be decieving. most goths do not even wear gothic cloths as popularised on tv. goths understand life better than most people and are better off for being that way.

i think that people are really unfair to goths because they judge them and say well if your a goth then you must cut yourself and like black everything, thats not true!!! it is very annoying that the same people who say they never sterio type probably sterio type goths and emo all the time. goths and emo's get beaten up everyday just for being who they are and expressing themselves!
example- ME!! i dont cut myself i dont wear black all the time every single day but sometimes whe i do strangers come up to me in the street and call me a goth!

Goth origonally was a term used to describe that of architecture, clothing, music, and culture from the Gothic Era, a sub-devision of the Mideval Era.
Goth is now percieved as a labeled group of kids who dress in black, write depressive poetry, and hate the world. However, this is untrue. Goths are generally not depressive. They dress however they like, and believe that nobody is here for a reason. They believe in just living, and they see no point in popularity. Being goth is all about individuality, and you do not have to dress a certain way to be a goth. They generally listen to classical, industrial, metal, or soft rock. But that is not to say they have to listen to these forms of music.

Of course, the Goths were a medieval tribe who sacked Rome. They are also a subculture full of morons who decide one day that they like "dark" things in order to fit in.
Now, to address the issue of so-called "intelligent, true nonconformists interested in the dark side of things": if they were truly interested in individuality and free thought, they wouldn't categorize themselves in a subculture and confine themself to that definition. Nor is it acceptable to say that there are MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF GOTHS OMG. If you're comfortable in your person and in your views and beliefs, you probably won't be calling yourself a goth in the first place, nor being accused of being one. Therefore there isn't really much of a need to even haughtily deny in between puffs of clove cigarettes, "I'm NOT a goth!"
