1: An extinct East Germanic Tribe whose language died out over a century years ago. Famous for sacking Rome.
2: An alternative subculture centered around goth music from the late 70s into the early 80s. Once fans of Punk, they developed a darker style of Post-Punk that would be called Gothic Rock. Today, goth music includes: Gothic Rock, Deathrock, Dark Wave, Ethereal Wave, Cold Wave, (some) Gothabilly, and Batcave. Many goths also like New Wave, Post-Punk, Industrial, and Shoegaze. (Note: all genres of Heavy Metal including Gothic Metal and most of Industrial are *not* goth. neither is Emo, a type of Hardcore Punk fused with Indie Rock nor gothbois, a group of soundcloud rappers).
Goths are not depressive or self-harming, this is a stereotype from the 2000s. Goths also do not believe in asinine and false concepts like "seeing beauty in darkness" or the worse notion that goth is a lifestyle. Goths are not "all accepting" and have genre rules just like Metalheads and Punks. Goths are not a trash bin for any social outcast, and they aren't always kinky or promiscuous either. Goths are people with a common taste in music and dress a certain way to find their tribe. Goths are otherwise like any other person with differing interests, needs, socio-economical class, political beliefs, ethnic backgrounds, and personalities. The only difference from the general population is they keep their music scene underground and away from mainstream media.

1: "Oh man, I'm glad I wasn't in Rome when the Goths came."
2: "One of the best songs to understand Goths has to be 'Sexbeat' by Sexbeat. A true goth anthem!"

Pronounced, OO-BOO-YOO
It is the (probably faulty) Dutch spelled name of a fictional god that is the patron of all things lame, stupid, ridiculous in a not good way, and swag. You Pray to Oeboejoe when you see something that is genuinely lame and hope whatever he, she, or it is goes away. The good thing about Oeboejoe is that even though he does not exist, the person you're praying to him for will leave your presence by either fear of his power, confusing him for Satan, or just infuriated that you're ignoring them by using prayers. If you're praying to Oeboejoe about an object, simply finish the prayer and then dispose of (destroy) the object or just leave it alone. Another "impressive" thing in this obscenely long winded explanation is that only people who know something about the Dutch language can truly appreciate how "interesting," yet annoying the spelling is. Also written as: OeBoeJoe. Note: not meant to offend anybody of Dutch or Belgian heritage, this is only for whimsical entertainment of bored people on the internet.
