The mother that knows best

Get the mother gothel mug.Gothic can mean a lot of things. Mainly to be devided among 3 categories.
1. Gothic is a music style.
2. Gothic is a clothing style.
3. Gothig is a way of thinking.
Opinions about what makes someone a real goth are very different. People can favour one of the three above things, without necessarily having to favour the other 2. A lot of time 2 or 3 of them are combined.
Gothic music came out of punk music. Punk music is mostly angry at the world. But goth was more saying: "There are a lot of evils in the world, and that makes me very sad." Gothics tend to make the world better and are very friendly people most of the times (every culture has rotten apples).
The clothing style contains a lot of corsets, dresses, spikes, hairfall/dreadlocks, military boots, etc.
A lot of people mistake gothic for being depressive, the clothing style only black, etc.
The gothic way of thinking is mostly kind. Goths tend to treat everything with the same respect, love nature, a small (or big) love for dark unknown things or fantasy (like vampire's, cemetary's, wearwolves) and accept everyone as they are.
Unlike how a lot of people think, gothic is not bound to any form of religion.

Wrong: "That kid is wearing nothing but black, what a goth."
Good: "You listen to industrial? What other gothic styles of music do you like?"
Good: "You like the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe? It has been quoted in Tim Burton's movie 'Vincent', which was very goth-like don't you think?"

Those dark, evil, vengeful teens who call themselves goths and whatnot. They tend to attack what they call "emo-goers" and "emo-teens." They wear the typical goth clothing and carry weapons at all times. Many have a fair arsenal at home that they keep in cas of an "Emo-attack." Sometimes they will provoke and taunt "emo-teens," then attack them. All in all, they aren't nice people when crossed by an Emo-teen.

Get the Gothippie mug.An extremely large (if not totally obese) goth person.
The fattest goth you've ever seen.
A morbidly obese person who tries to secure a position in a social group by picking the most outcast group they can think of; this last few years that's been the goths.
Dressed as such merely for the advantage of "fitting in" with another set of people other than the rest of the hippos.

Shay is such a friggin' gothapotamus! I wish she would just put down the twinkies & take shower. I sooooo don't want to try to outrun the police in a graveyard with her!

Get the gothapotamus mug.Goths tend to be people who live in the shadows. They enjoy the things mainstream society has thrown away in its industrialization and desire to have more money than their neighbors. They are fascinated by these shadows of society and cherish the knowledge of them. Because of this, yes, they do tend to be relatively 'strange' by most definitions. No, they don't all cut themselves. No, they don't really care rather you like them or not, though they would happily talk to you and explain how they see the world. No, they don't all cut themselves. And no, they don't all think that they are vampires, and in fact, not all of them like Anne Rice. We don't all wear black every moment of out life. We also dont all wear tons of black eyeliner and dark lipstick from dawn til dusk, or dusk til dawn, whatever our scedules may be. Oh, and yes, some of us DO live during the day, just like everyone else. And yes, we do have a sense of humor and laugh at ourselves upon occasion.
The quiet kids hanging out in the corners who you think are always laughing at you simlpy because they don't go out of their way to suck up and quite commonly wear dark clothing? yeah, they may be Goths.

Get the goths mug.Goth is not a label. Goth is a real culture that expresses the beauty in darkness and morbidity. Goths usually wear all black, the color of their soul. They don't just wear anything black, the black clothes are more unique and elegant. Some Goths go beyond the black clothes and they wear thick eyeliner and black lipstick. Some make their faces white like a ghost and dye their hair unnatural colors. Goths can be Satan worshippers, Atheists, Christians, Pagans, Wiccans, or any religion. There are some people who give Goths a bad name and other Goths call them posers, but that is simply not true. In a garden, though some vegetables may be rotten, that doesn't mean they aren't vegetables. And as for Goths and non-conformity, what does Goth have to do with non-conformity??? If people join the Gothic Culture just because they want to be non-conformists then that is a very bad reason to become Gothic. People can be Gothic and still be individuals. I'm a Goth and I'm also an individual and I don't try to be different because there isn't any point in it. And Goths aren't all attention seekers. Many of us just feel comfortable looking a certain way, even if we have thick, pointy eyeliner and black lipstick, a pale face, and green hair. Not all Goths are angst-filled morons who have their mind set on blowing up their school. Alot of Goths don't even go to school; there are many adult Goths as well as teens. And I hate the word poser. People call other Goths posers to make themselves feel good. It's name calling, that's all it is, and it's very puerile. Calling someone a poser is definitely a form of bullying and it needs to be stopped.
I am a Goth because Goth is my soul.
I hate it when Goths get called Satan worshippers and it's not true and instead of just saying "I'm not a Satan worshipper" they go and say something negative about people who truly worship Satan.
