goth

A darker culture that can be anything you make it. Some impose guidelines, and other sad, decrepit, pathetic creatures try to follow those guidelines, but in essence, most 'goths' revolve around the basics of wearing dark clothing and being non-Christian. Marilyn Manson is not NECESSARILY goth, and neither is black metal. They could be considered goth, they could be considered not. It is entirely up to the beholder.

Ladies, you do not have to color your tampons black to be a goth.

Goth

A group once dedicated to being unique and itself, but has since lost its meaning due to heavy sterotyping. Goths are now only considered to be a bunch of loosers who shop at Hot Topic for Nightmare Before Christmas and Invader Zim products.

Goths tend to be hypocritical and say that they aren't goth , and they're only expressing their individuality, but they look like every other goth in the world

They also have a tendency to listen to metal and Marilyn Manson music, and watch (and subsequently idolize) Tim Burton movies, even if they actually hate it.

I'm a real goth because I wear what I like, listen to what I lile , and I don't conform to stupod sterotypes to fit in. And I don't like Hot Topic or Marilyn Manson, so up yours.

1. The goth subculture originally evolved in the late '70s and early '80s out of the punk subculture.
goth bands: Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Alien Sex Fiend, Specimen

2. There are also sad little teens who listen to metal and consider themselves 'goth', but all they are are metalheads who happen to like the colour black and truly have no knowledge of what the goth scene came from.
NON-goth bands: Slipknot, Cradle of Filth, HIM, Marilyn Manson

3. Also non-goth are cybergoths (aka gravers, which is short for goth + raver), although they are sometimes incorrectly labeled goth. But most do tend to realise they are not goth and identify more with the industrial subculture.
cybergoth bands: VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, Icon of Coil, Razed in Black

1. The goth backcombed his hair before going out to get more of that 80s' goth look.

2. The teenager shopped at Hot Topic and bought some baggy pants and a Cradle of Filth t-shirt in an attempt to be a "goth". Unfortunately, he failed.

3. The cybergoth had neon green hair extensions and danced to VNV Nation.

goth

A lifestyle choice. You can't really define a 'goth' because every one them is different. 'Goths' don't think they are better than everyone else. They simply make a choice to dress, act, and speak how they please. Goths are just like the rest of the world. They are entitled to their own views, and musical tastes also, which tend to be darker, and follow the trends of the 'post-punk' era. If people would get over their misconceptions, and stop saying things like "goths are fake, they should go die, and OmGzZz u r a pozerr bitchh!," and actually have an open mind, you would see that their lifestyle does not make them so different from you, and that they could care less about what you think, because they are going to live their life the way they want regardless of your ratty opinions.

Hater: OMFG UR A GAWTH?! GO FCKING DIE! GAWTHS SUCK!

Goth: -blinks- Okay then. Have a nice day. -walks away-

Goth

Goths are no different than anyone else. We just see things for what they really are. We may look different or act different but were all the same on the inside...kinda. Goths DO NOT cut themselves, thats depression. And as a last bit of information, Goths arent fake. Were more legit than any mainstream prik you know

Mainstream dickhead: "eww look at that goth piece of shit. il bet he cuts him self and is gay"
Goth kid proceeds with kicking Mainstream dickhead's ass and says "Here's 3 things to remember about Goths; 1. we all dont cut ourselves 2. we arent as frail and homosexual as you think and 3. i wont fuck with you but if you fuck with me il be your worst nightmare

Goth

A word that no-one in Urban dictionary can define because they don't know the concept of definition in the first place, which is a concise explanation of the meaning of a word or phrase or symbol.

John: A goth is not someone who dresses all black, acts depressed all the time and wears make up.
Bill:...Then what is it?
John:...Shut the fuck up.
