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.

there is nothing wrong with goths like me who just wear a lot of black and are depressed. I hate that a lot of people say that no one has a real reason for being depressed. I think that this is not a nice thing to do because they do not know what is going on in the life of that person, saying that they have no reason to be depressed may be hurting their feelings.
I think that most goths are ok apart from the ones who think they are cool just because they intimidate others. I do not think that walking around wearing black lipstick makes you cool. I have nothing against those who have a strong reason to be depressed as I do, but I do not like people who enjoy hating others.
I would also like to mension that this website is stupid, it is inviting people to insult others. Why can everyone not just accept what other people think. I hate anyone who thinks that they're opinion is always right and that they are better then everyone else.
This is my opinion and I am not going to force anyone to agree with me but I just felt that the way people treat others on this site is wrong and that your should think twice about what you write before you end up hurting someones feelings.
Ps: I am not a teeny, or some soppy kid who wants everyone to love each other, I just know the effect things like this can have on other people.

"I dress in black but this does not make me a goth"
"You wear black lipstick and a dog collar but this does not make you cool or give you a right to instult others"

Generally speaking, most goths hate the title. those that actually like the title are more often than not posers. They generally wear black, but many just wear colors that people won't expect (example: neon paisly-pattern pants (yes, i actually know someone that wears them on a regular basis)).
Goths are generally seen as depressed or clinically insane, but this is not neccesarily true. The depression came from the black clothes, i think, and the clinically insane rumor -so far as i know- sparked because they tend to be very open about conflicting sides of themselves -like a conscience and a rebel and all those other wierd urges- and some that i know give their contrasting sides names. hence shcitsophrenia rumors.
And no, goth is NOT in the music one listens to! some rides on the lyrics, but what really matters is WHY a person listens to their music. I actually have goth friends that admit to liking a few Britney Spears songs (*cold shivers*).

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Probably not, but I don't really want to wait for you to explain whatever you were going to explain, so yeah! great idea! You wear the fake beard, I'll hide in the ventilation shaft." <--actual dialogue

A genre of person who dresses a certain way, sterotypically in mostly black and with articles of clothing that go against the commonly accepted "norms" of society. They also listen to a certain genre of music. Also they do not hang out with other groups of people, such as preps or jocks, because if they have non-goth friends they are a "poser". Many goths feel as though they are being unique by acting the way they do, which is true because they are different from other genres of humans. However each goth is only as unique from each other goth as much as any prep (or otherwise) is unique from any other prep. To be goth you have to conform to a certain way of dressing and acting, or else you are a poser. Therefore, one of the primary aspects of being goth is being a nonconformist, but to be goth you have to conform. So to recap, goths are just another social group and then need to relize that and stop mocking other social groups for being conformists or being annoying by acting in the manner consistent with their social group.
Goth: God look at those teeny bopper conformists.
Goth2: I know if only they would dress like us and act like us then we could like them.
Goth: Yeah, if the whole world were like us then the world would be perfect
Sociologist: Are you two aware that if you want to be unique then you shouldn't shop at the same stores as every other goth ever. By having your own genre of clothing, music, way of acting, and people who fall short of your standards and are therefore "posers", you are no more unique or better than any other group.

Just another label that people conform to for either their own personal enjoyment or to be oh-so-cool. I don't know why people just can't be themselves without a slew of labels, but whatever rows your boat.
People who strive to be gothic by acting dark and dressing in black and pissing and moaning about life and how much of an outcast they are are assholes and should be shot. Repeatedly.
If you are another of those sad gothic wannabes bitching about conformists, maybe you should think about all the contradictions spewing out of your mouth as you ARE CONFORMING TO A LABEL.
For the goths who are goths for their personal enjoyment... I never liked labels and never will but cheers.

The gothic wannabe cried, "Hot Topic is closed! Someone shoot me!" So I did and spared the world of her bitching. Then I ate her.
