Gothic metal is a type of metal which is fairly heavy, with heavy guitars, but what attributes most to gothic metal is the unique vocals, which make it gothic. If it's a male vocalist, the vocals will be low and deep, and in some gothic metal bands, there is no screaming/growling. If it's a female vocalist, then she just sings in her normal singing voice (no screaming, no POP voice - whining, moaning).
John said, "Hey what's that type of metal called when the dude sings really low, is it black metal or something?" . Micheal said, "No dude, it's gothic metal".

Get the Gothic metal mug.A superfluous house of worship; too small to be a cathedral, too gaudy to be conducive to prayer or meditation. The end product of too much ambition and too little ability.

A gothic hippie is the best of both words.
I was raised by Hippie parents, but my dad is also very gothic in style. I'm in my late 30s. So that can give you an idea of my parents age.

I am a gothic hippie, and I have been one my entire life. Being a girl, I tend to wear a wide variety of clothing. One day I can be in a pair of bell bottom jeans and a rock band shirt, the next a black broomstick skirt and a nice flowing shirt on top. My music is across the board depending on mood. I can listen to meditation one moment and Rob Zombie the next. Really it is across the board. Hippie Goths don't have to be just pagans either. I am Catholic, and am very devout. I am about Peace love and happiness. I do love history and the victorian era as someone else wrote.LOL But I do also love to read. Sci-fi, horror,classics, and I don't love romance unless its about some form of vampire lust. I have a dark humor. I love Renfaires too. So, like I said I am exactly what the name says Gothic hippie..the best of both worlds.

Get the Gothic Drill mug.A Gothic Hippie is quite simply, a Goth who feels the Hippie vibe. They're generally more laid back than their Gothic brethren, and often more troubled than fellow Hippies. In most cases, they get frustrated with their Goth friends' overblown pessimism/pretention, and will often choose to hang out with the more mellow Hippie croud instead. Clothes are generally baggy and comfortable, and musical tastes range from 60s-70s Rock to Progressive/Doom Metal, Trance and 90s HipHop, and pretty much anything inbetween. Nearly all of them smoke Weed, and most see it as almost spiritual guidence; an Elixir of sorts. They aren't scared to smile, bake in the sun, throw a Frisbee(?), basically things that aren't acceptable for the average image-conscious Goth. They will adopt revolutionary Hippie ideals, if they didn't have them in the first place, which they usually do, which is why they're a Gothic Hippie to begin with.
Some of them also ramble on the internet whilst baked.

Get the gothic hippie mug.A gothic hippie is precisely what the name implies. The exact combination of goth and hippie can vary widely based on the individual. In general, A gothic hippie is someone who believes in peace and love, embraces and strives to be one with nature and a higher energy (often-times through the practice of Paganism or some other New Age activity). These people generally also have a facination with history, praticularly the Middle Ages and the Victorian era. They tend to have a dark and cynical sense of humor and take very little seriously except for major issues (peace, love, social rights, ect...).
Stylistically A gothic hippy can look like either a goth or a hippy or some combination in between (think tie-dyed t-shirt with black fishnet underneath it and long dark hair)
Stylistically A gothic hippy can look like either a goth or a hippy or some combination in between (think tie-dyed t-shirt with black fishnet underneath it and long dark hair)
Someone who listens to gothic music (especially more ethereal stuff), is into meditation and the pagan worship of nature and feels that people are stupid because they take things too seriously that aren't really worth it.
The highest goal of a gothic hippie is to trancend this world of materialism and pop-culture filth and achieve a higher form of enlightenment and inner peace.
