Stie

A goth-exclusive term for someone (usually a dude) who thinks they’re deep and unique just because they listen to underground music and act emotionally distant.
He thinks he knows your soul after 5 seconds, makes fun of mental health to feel edgy, and swears he’s “different”—but he’s just another stie.

“He said I give ‘trauma-core energy’ like it was cute… stie behavior.”

Not an insult, just a vibe check. Only goths get it.
“She tried to tell me her ex was ‘mysterious and misunderstood’… no babe, he was a stie.”
