goth

It has been said that the only thing worst than a conformist is the one who conforms to nonconformist standards. In essence, that is what has become of the goth subculture. Originally a sharp reaction to preps and jocks, the goth standard has melted down into a standard that cannot be deviated from. Modern day goths follow the same routine and habits: They listen to metal and death metal music, such as Slipknot and Led Zeppelin; they dress in nothing but black; they wear clothing from the unusual (fishnet) to the bizzare (high-top black leather boots); they have many piercings on their body, including (but not limited to) the eyebrows, tongue, belly-button, and lips; they shop at Hot Topic; they describe themselves as 'twisted' or 'dark'. There are more examples I can think of, but by now, you should have a clear mental picture of what a goth is. We all know a goth; (s)he sticks out like a sore thumb. The goth subculture is burning itself up, because it was originally a reaction to conformism. Now, it has simply creatly a new standard to conform to.

cyber goth

Basically, a goth who wears bright uv details as well as the usual black. However would never be caught dead wearing a band hoodie.

Usually either very tall or short, so will wear massive boots to make them selfs look either REALLY tall or just a bit smaller than everyone else.

Is also usually more arrogant than normal goths, ie will only talk to you if you like anything really dark or horrible, or like put fuck loads of drugs down your throught every weekend.

note: can also be pronounced cyber-gaff just for a laff.

even more basically, a goth who goes to raves

gothic

A barbarian.

An uncivilized person.

A style of architecture used in Western Europe from the 12th to the 15th centuries.

A genre of music.

The language of ancient Goths.

Not a fucking pussy ass moron following the teenage trend of "Gothic" who dresses in all black, pretends to be all gloom and never smiles, only likes music like everyone else "Gothic" likes, and pretends to have a horrible life.
Moron "Goth": I slit my wrists last night because I hate my life and my life sucks and I want to die.
Person: Grow up and get over following trends and labelling yourself and using those pathetic stereotypes. Imbecile.

gothic

(n) A group of people who feel comfortable within each others company. There is no specific thing that defines what you need to do or be to fit into the goth scene (except of course the implied black clothing). People in the goth scene all have different musical tastes, follow different religions, have different occupations, hobbies, and fashion sense.
