goth is a word made up by people who need a name for stuff. people who are considered goth tend to wear alot of black, white, red, and purple. other colors are welcomed. i hate that people think goths are evil. my absolute best friend in the world is a goth and she ROCKS. she loves the ramones, afi, and the dropkick murphy's. she wears bondage pants(pants with alot of chains and straps), t shirts about add, family guy, and invader zim, nd friggin awesome hoodies. it is a very complementary look, as black tends to be, and i loooove it! i do not fit under a label, though some stupid people call it emo. yeah. i dont even wear alot of black. but if i was to choose a style, i would choose gothic (or grunge, but anyway...), because it looks the best on people and it shocks. of course, their are scary goths, like the satan worshipping, hex giving , evil goths, but .. i like em. lol. but, you just have to get to know someone before you label them, if thats what u plan on doing. i mean, yeah. my bff(as mentioned earlier) actually speaks to preps. one of em is a good friend who likes abercrombie and backflips. yeah. gothic people(and emos, in general) are very open minded(usually) and are not quick to judge, even when others are quick to judge them.

preservers of ancient spiritual culture. hence why even though people would diagree being a goth is to adhere to the gothic religion... all those famous things or secrets of our world not known in words yet ie (still unwritten law)...the celebration of old religions and/or cultures , or people (that have often died).. the gothic must not make up what he represents ie they cannot celebrate a false god for example or he is gothic towards himself he has lost what he considers his or her true self and hence they dress up like they are dead ... it is a religion based on true exprience be it people in the past or themselves

If you call yourself this, you're probably a poser.
You probably seek to make yourself seem different and show your individuality... although, ohwait. Now you look just like all the other "goths".
You also probably like to say you don't care what anyone thinks, though you spend a hell of a lot of time doing your makeup and hair whenever you go out.
It's also very likely that you're overweight and bisexual.
Many "goths" also hate that people treat them differently and "pick on them", and get sad/angry about it.

Really and truely a goth is someone who wants to be different and not follow the crowd..and it doesn't matter if someone looks at you because you look different and have on dark eyeliner and are listening to deathstar asembly....but then agian goths don't really like to call themselves goths because that's not what we really are we are followers on the night....and to clear things up Vampire goths really don't like to drink blood and are usually not into Satanism I'm a wiccan....I do get blood cravings but they usually go away after a little while...
"Marilyn manson is goth weither you like to believe it or not he is different just like the rest of us....

A person of average or ugly appearance that attempts to draw attention to themselves by dressing in all black and/or doing their make-up badly. This goes for males and females. Males with black nail polish are especially needy bc why else would you want to wear such an ugly color on ur hands? Males and females usually have oddly colored hair that makes you wonder if they meant it to look like it got stuck in a cotton candy maker. Also, they listen to music in which you cannot understand any of the words over the loud and pathetic guitars in the background. They say they frown upon social norms when all they really want is to be like the rest of society, but they fear they will be rejected, therefore they are social hermits that form fragile friendships in which drugs and sex are their biggest links to each other.

A person who believes he or she is expressing their individuality by dressing and behaving in the exact same way to others who call themselves 'goths', yet in fact they are just becoming another clone. Usual goth characteristics include:
Black clothes.
Black hair.
Long hair on males.
General dirtiness and scruffiness.
Usually inclined to attempting to write poetry.
Wearing of 'dog collars' around the neck.
Depression. (Either genuine or faked).
Listening to heavy rock music, usually that which involves screaming so the lyrics are incomprehensible.
The belief that these people are 'individuals', different from everyone else, even though they all conform to the same lifestyle and have the typical goth characteristics.

I want to get noticed more by dressing and acting like a freak, yet still insisting I'm beautiful and different. I think I'll become a Goth.
