Goth

/ɡäTH/

"Goth" most commonly refers to the music-based subculture that began during the late 70s/early 1980s with the creation of the gothic rock subgenre, an offshoot of "post-punk". The music preferred by goths includes a number of styles such as gothic rock, death rock, post-punk, cold wave, dark wave, and ethereal wave. Although music-based, the subculture also has strong fashion aspects as well, The style most often includes dark (usually solid black) attire, dark makeup, and black hair. This subculture also appreciates the beauty in the more darker things in life. "Goth" is NOT synonymous with being depressed.

Other uses of the word "Goth" include:
1)Germanic people who played a major role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire
2) An architectural style used in medieval times and later in Victorian times.

Poser Goth.

Someone who dresses Goth, but doesn't pay enough attention to Goth lyrics to understand that to be Goth is to listen to the music, and also to rebel against the mainstream. If you see someone in a Bauhaus shirt, but they are talking like this: "bruh for real. Bro what. Bro says. Bro this, bro that. That's lit. That's fire ", it's a good chance they are a poser.
"Bro, broooooo bro." Bro- a term used by normal people, that is rejected by alternative subcultures. Slang denotes a poser Goth.
