goth

A person who isn't afraid of the darker side of life and appreciates light and dark. They're artistic, usually writing music, poems, stories, or drawing, painting, anything of the sort. It doesn't mean they can't be scientific, though. It's also proven in psycology that the "gothic" youths are smarter than average children. They usually wear black, however they can also wear purples, greens, blues, reds, even white. Any colour can truly be goth, what matters is how it's worn. Goths have exotic choice in accessories, wearing top hats, corsets, lace, ruffles, old style crosses, goggles, masks, dreads, wedges, chains, and other hardware. They are normal people that just have a more philosophic, open mind and a wider range of tastes. They stray from just mainstream and usually prefer metal, rock, indie, punk, etc. Bands like Nightwish and Lacuna Coil are good examples. They're passionate and romantic, and very coy. Often thought of as devil worshipping freaks, which is completely untrue. They like pale skin and dramatic makeup. Life is more fun when it's riddled with different struggles than, "Oh no, my car broke down". Goths are NOT bad people, evil, scary, weird, or anything. They're perfectly normal.

"Oh em gee, look at that goth girl"
"She's sooo weird! Little freak ! Who wears a frilly dress to school?"
And the goth walks by, flashing her brightest smile, her eyes hinting mischief as she goes about her day, humming rhythms of her favorite songs.
