A statement that does not stimulate thought or interest, but simply stimulates

That homeless guy who lives outside the blockbuster and smells like feces, probably because he is covered in them, he can often be found in a state of intense thought-provoking rants about how aliens control the whether, how he has a golfinger, rats ate his penis, zombies live in his toilet (interesting considering homless people have no toilets) and claims to have the power to beat up the sky causing it to turn black and blue.

This is a person who believes TOOL is the best band in the world and looks down upon any other type of music. Tool snobs especially hate nu metal and emo kids who think their type of music is superior. Tool snobs believe Tool's music is the most complex and thought provoking ever created. Some, though not most, even believe the lead singer is a god.

Literally the 'forcing of wisdom', experienced when faced with the truth or a point of view not previously considered. It can be applied to something shocking or revealing, or just something thought-provoking.

adj. 1. to be fabulous and fascinating at the same time. 2. To be good to look at and thought-provoking at the same time.

Coming up with deep sh*t (philosophical phrase) whilst seated on the toilet taking a number 2.

goth is a subculture that grew out of the punk culture in the 80s.

i will agree with non-goths in that most goths are very evasive when it comes to defining the term "goth." i will also agree with them in that "goths" who simply whine and make fun of non-"goths" are pricks. most "goths" don't really know what it means to be goth.

the gothic period (late 1700s-1800s) was a period of the "sublime." rather than look for skin deep beauty in something, the gothics would look for intellectual or moral value. for example, they would prefer a battered old castle staircase to a sparkling new marble staircase because the old one has more character.

the TRUE goths of today are named this way because they follow this thought pattern of looking for the thought-provoking instead of the aesthetic. why revel in the darker side of life? "sinister" things (i.e., death, fate) provide more food for thought than pretty things (i.e., blue skies, love).

thinking in this rather morbid way usually results in the true goth being rather satirical. SOMETIMES they may be withdrawn and maybe a little snide, but this is because knowledge is a burden.

the pseudo-goth (the one everyone thinks of when they hear "goth"; bear in mind, i do NOT consider these people goth) is some middle school douche who shops at hot topic and listens to music in the gothic genre (i.e., bauhaus) whether or not they actually like the music. they are quick to judge people and make fun of them every chance...
