Get the Gothic hippie movement mug.Gothic people are just like everyone else. They just express them selves differently. Just because they don't look the same as you and me doesn't mean that they are crazy or anything. They are normal healthy people and should just have the chance to talk to people different from them if they want it without being looked at like a freak, or treated like a jerk.
jock-eww look at all those loser gothic people over in Hot Topic.
jock's "girl"-lets go over and talk to them I think they go to our school.

Get the gothic people mug.A gothic hippie would be someone who like to wear black, the whole black eye makeup, dark hair, black clothes etc, and who listens to alternative music. As well as this though, the hippy part would be that they have a big side of them in touch with nature, eg they may be against animal cruelty, vegetarians, supportive of recycling, dislike the destruction of the forests, and so on.
