many people associate goths as "devil worshippers" or suicidal or just plain weird!
this definition however is not tru at all. Goths are individuals, they are normally very clever, artistic and hav a fun wild side to them.
They do not dress to scare people, wiv their black make up or white faces, they dress like this because it's them and that's just their style.They dont care what other people think of them and frown on the people who look down on the way they dress.
Goths are smart and dont giv a damn bout the criticism they get frm the so called "popular" people.

Goths are free minded, choosing to think and act out of the "norm". Many are very inteligent, having an open mind to anything new. They also may be very artistic and possibly more well-mannered than most people.

Wannabe goths tend to dress in all black, as is the popular culture of goth, but do not have as open of a mind. They tend to be very easily angered by anything said against gothic culture, and have little to no manners, in their own homes or anywhere else.

Both gaths and wannabe goths, though, tend to believe that they are more inteligent than others, and are better than others because they decide to dress out of the "norm". A true goth does not need the contsant make up of black, hair died, boots, trench coats, chains, or any of the many other styles there are. They dress how they want, wether that be a mix of the norm and their own style or an entirely new one.

Goth is a lifestyle which is much stereotyped by many teens who are posers, the lot. It is a style of living that entails being dark, romantic, poetic, artistic, mysterious, calm, sometimes sad, stuff.

the people who stand out and have their own styles and are usually rejected out of society.

goths are not freaks, suicidle, or scary

they are REAL people. most are not posers.

although i know this i do not know weather they give a shit about their label or not.

i personally think labels are stupid and immature.
Prep: Oh my god what a freak. Shes like a goth.

A vampiric term for some one who rejects commercialism. They are neither christian nor satanic. They crave power and are powerful, egoistic, usually quiet. They don't show off. They are susceptible to getting angry at fads and don't agree with marketed membership.

the original goths of the 1700's took their look out of gothic novels, which focused on the darker side of human nature and were heavily infused with romance. femme fatales and vampires are the grandparents of modern goth. dark eyes, lips and hair are mixed with dark, usually black clothing, and plenty of romantic floaty, ruffly skirts and sleeves. today's goth is purely fake and way too focused on death.
real goths wear all black and maybe some deep red
they are not obsessed with death and suicide
they see the real flaws in life
they are big romatics
