Goths

Share definition
I am a goth, but I do not fit into most of those categories!

I DO NOT:
*cut myself
*drink blood
*hang round in cemeteries
*wear nothing but black
*wear black and white make-up 24/7
*listen to "goth" music 24/7
*hate people because they don't dress like me
*have any of the same clothes as my friends
*always go to goth pubs and drink anything red
*worship Satan
*have every possible part of myself pierced or tattooed

I DO:
*eat meat, junk food & any other kind of food I can
*wear lip gloss sometimes and a bit of eyeliner
*go to "normal" pubs and drink wkd Blue
*have many types of friends: goths, trendies, townies, emos
*have a leather trenchcoat (but no, i do not agree with the so called "trenchcoat Mafia")
*sometimes wear blue, or red, or purple
*hate people that can't accept that everyones the same: if you skin a goth, skin a townie, skin a gay person or skin a coloured person, they are all the same underneath.

Its not the clothes or the music I hate, its the attitude of the people.
Walking to the shop whilst wearing a leather trenchcoat:-

"townie": "oi, Matrix"
me: "hmmmmm, right"

Being a white female and all:-

"townie": oh my god, you're Blade, innit?"
me: "not seeing the distinction between me and a very tall, muscly, black guy"
"townie": "hahaha, its Blade"

this is the funniest one though

Walking with my boyfriend through the local fair to get to the pub:-

"townie girl 1": paedophile, goficks, satanists
"townie girl 2": oi, you goficks
Us: yes??
Townie girls: Why's u goficks? dus you like cutting yourselves and drinking blood and stuff?
Us: no, why?
Townie girls: why's u goficks?
Us: why are you townies?
Townie girls: we ain't no fucking townies, we's casual!
Us: you look like townies to us, its all about your attitude, anyways, why are we goths?
Townie girls: coz you wearing black
me: but your wearing a black cardigan, does that make you a goth?
<townie girls look at each other for a while>
townie girls: we aint goficks.

At that point we were laughing too much and had to leave! i got bored of them and tuned out, lol

Waffle Goths

Share definition
A group of Ravers, Emos, and/or "Goths" who travel to their neighborhood Waffle House from 10:13 p.m. to 3:59 a.m.
Groups are normally 3-7 people.
I couldn't sleep last night, so I called up some buddies to hang. The next thing I know, we turned into total Waffle Goths.

Hi, wow isn't this amazing i've just been told that i'm a goth and i should go and slit my wrists somewhere. How smart...
I get the labeling of 'greeb' 'emo' 'goth' etc all the time. Ok i admit i like the 'greebo' bands and clothing but i dont hang around in cemeteries or cut myself.
This is me... I have straight blonde hair and blue eyes, i like the word MIAOW!!! and my favorite top is bright yellow with a little skull on it. Ok i might pain my nails black occaisionally and have 'greebo' friends but honestly, don't judge people who dress differently than you...if you do then you're stupid and don't deserve to here me say MIAOW!
Lots and lots of goths who say Miaow!

Yet another pointless label.

"Goths" are people that may wear black that May listen to death metal that may wear trench coats. However thats not what all goths wear. There are HUNDREDS of different catorgorys of goth.

Some may be depressed and selfharmers. Others are happy lovley people. Theres happy and depressive people in every sub culture so i dont understand why goths have such a bad reputation for being depressed.

I know many goths that DONT cut themselves that DONT worship satan that ARNT depressed. I get that alot of them are depressed ect but so are alot of townies/neds/scrotes/chavs.

Just because someone wears black it doesnt mean they are goths.

Stop giving them hassle because they want to be different. If you dont like the style dont wear it...simple...isnt it
Problems goths face
* Nicknames such as "that gay devil worshipping freak that dyed his hair purple"
* Wearing a black turtleneck when it's 90 degrees outside
* Being asked to defend your entire existence in 30 seconds or less.
* Having little kids tug on their parent's arm and say, "Look, Mommy, isn't she pretty? I want to look like her!" while the parents grab the child and run for it
* Attempting to explain Goth to anyone
* Religion: while everybody still thinks you are a Devil-worshipper despite all your explanations..
* Trying to explain to people that the scars up and down your arms are actually from your cat.

EMS Goths

Share definition
A group of Goths who talk to eachother on the the Neopets 'Evil Things and Monster Sightings'(EMS) board.

They are, pretty much, the coolest group of people on Neopets(as if that was saying much). A few are somewhat elitist, having a habit of jumping all over everyone who makes "goth" boards to make sure they know exactly what they are talking about. However, the people in this group are generally very nice and accepting. Many are simply tired of the false representation of "Goth" that is so popular today(part of this group being younger people who have to put up with it a lot).

The 'EMS Goths' usually start boards to discuss music(mainly Goth Rock, Deathrock, or Post-Punk. But, there are also some people who are more into other stuff, such as Industrial and New Wave), or sometimes just to chat with people they know about whatever.

The people within this group have changed through the years. There are always new people coming into the group, and there are a lot of old members of the group who don't come on much anymore. A few people who are associated with the EMS Goth group are Casey, Lex, Zrcalo, Vanity, Herr, Anne, and Rae.

Some of the longer-standing members have even been coming to be board for much longer than most of the EMS "regs".

Recently, tree symbols have been used frequently by this group. It's the result of an inside joke. It gets called a "goth tree." And, no, they don't hate for anyone else to use the symbol. If someone says something about someone outside the group using the "goth tree," they are most likely joking around. Another thing this group has been recently known for is the "Gawfic Camel Club,"
started by Josh. Most are also members of guild "Goth Underground."

....And 'Raito Yagami' is a douchebag :)
"The EMS Goths are awesome, even if they do use the Neopets messageboards"

"The EMS Goths listen to a lot of 80s music"

"The EMS Goths sure do like camels and those little tree symbols."
