goth wannabe

a person who is a no-face who just tries to fit in with the goth group because they think it's "in".
it's the same deal as a preppy girl who always wears dresses claiming to be a 'tomboy' because she gets sweaty at her cheerleader tryouts. If you have the title Goth, you earn it, it's not just wearing black everyday, it's being different it's keeping the title even through the harsh looks, and the stereotypes.Just because you have a pair of black pants makes you as 'goth' as standing in a garage makes you a car. Not everyone will be gothic, just like not everyone will be a lawer.

Goth

’Goth’ is not about Satan worshipping, scaring people or shocking them. It is a lifestyle, an art. It's beauty, showing people who you are. ‘Goths’ tend to have true depth and insight and an opinion worth listening to. There thoughts are darker and they perceive things differently to how other might do. ‘Goths’ have a way of recognizing the beauty of things that seem so morbid and tragic to others, although anyone can see these things ‘normal people’ usually tend not too.
Someone- That person wears black she must be a goth!

'Goth'- Quit with the fucking labels! I AM JUST ME!

old school goth

A person who listens to old goth music (From the 80s), like Deathrock (Christian Death, Alien Sex Fiend, Specimen), Post-Punk (Bauhaus, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Joy Divison), Gothic Rock (The Sisters of Mercy, Fields of The Nephilim, Rosetta Stone) and maybe some New Wave (Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Soft Cell), or anything related to the Batcave.

Old School aesthetics are punkish and cheesie, dark and sometimes elegant or sofisticated, but you don't have to dress goth to be goth.

They have no philosophy, nor a lifestyle, the only thiing that makes them a subculture is the music. Metal, Nu Metal, Industrial, EBM, or related genres are not included. Psychobilly, Horror Punk, Darkwave, New Wave and No Wave are related genres to goth, but generally are not considered goth, except for some Darkwave (Sopor Aeternus) and No Wave (Lydia Lunch) bands.

Goth music is not only music from the 80s, we have many groups from the 90s and 00s making goth music, like Naughty Zombies, Cinema Strange, Diva Destriuction, Joy Disaster, Faith and The Muse, Bat Attakk, London After Midnight, Two Witches, Frank The Baptist, All Gone Dead, etc...

Gonth

"Gonth" where I come from means, a person that is too focused on something, and he does not care about anything, he is not fair to his opponent, as long as he achives his goal, he is going to be a dirty cu*t, he is going to do everything to win... (It is usable in video-games) (a word "Cunt" is more used for this term)...
Me: "My opponent had a glitch in a game, so he could not control the character!"
Someone: "And did you kick him off the server, so he would not lose a game because of the glitch?"
Me: "No. I killed him 8 times, he was asking me to kick him, but I did not. So he forfited later..."
Someone: "You are such a gonth."
