Shops and hangs out at Hot Topic and looks more Emo than Goth, wearing a lot of red and vapes/smokes weed.
Gets mad at “posers” when they themselves are a poser that has only heard of the Gothic Bands Joy Division and The Cure; doesn’t know Gothic Terminology and misuses it a lot/calls Metal music Goth.
Posts about their horrible “disorders” that they developed for attention. Actually listens to a lot of Panic! At The Disco. Has only one Gothic Go-To Outfit.
Has a stuck up Gother-Than-Thou attitude, and relies on others to do their bidding since they can’t handle actual conflict.
When makeup is worn, they either overdo it or do it horribly, the same for their teased hair.

Mall Goths - Wannabes - The kids with bad excessive make-up equipped with Manson or Cradle of Filth shirts. They hate their parents for buying them everything and they shop at hot topic. Usually seen lerking around the local Shopping malls.

An individual calling themself "goth"/"gothic" that ,in actuality, is not involved in the subculture.
They listen to overhyped nu-metal/emo bands that they like for the simple fact that they believe it will make them 'cool',or more 'gothic'.
Usually between the ages of 12-17, they have a very blatant fashion sense; commonly wearing baggy, black pants with chains draped from them, spiked wristbands/collars, beanies, and especially Slipknot, HIM, or Korn tees.
Their chief source of fashion is Hot Topic (owned by Abercrombie & Fitch)
Some will don a depressed visage, never smile or speak, and others will don a moody, angry tone.
None of these 'goths' are generally 'gothic' at all. None of these people understand the origins, roots, or influences of the subculture, nor would they likely to be interested in any of its true aspects.

"You're indefinitely not involved in the gothic subculture; you would appear to be a mall goth."
"My friend only listens to HIM and Slipknot, and pretends to be depressed all the time; he's a mall goth."

a mallgoth also known as a "juggalo" is a wannabe goth, usually straight up white-trash. A typical mallgoth outfit consists of a poser band shirt(evanescence,Korn,HiM,Cradle of filth,insane clown posse etc.),skater shoes, tripp pants,studded belt a pentagram as well as eyeliner all over their face. They are the ones responsible for making Marilyn Manson look like a bad man, they misinterpret his lyrics and sometimes even shoot up schools in his name, Manson most likely never intended for this.
They do not listen to real gothic music, besides maybe the cure. Most of them have never heard of siuxsie & the banshees,Bauhaus,sisters of mercy, christian death,alien sex fiend,joy division or any of the other real goth band there are.
many claim to be "wiccan" this offends most pagans. they also love anime more than anything on earth... i could never find an explanation for this...
"I'm goth because I'm a wiccan who wears tripp pant,likes anime and listens to evanescence" - mallgoth

"you mean you actually cut yourself cause you thought it would make you goth?" - goth

A not so nice term, for an individual who strolls around the mall(s) all the time. It is difficult if you can tell if some one is a mall goth. Just because you see some one hanging out in the mall(s) and wearing tripp pants and slip knot tshirts, does not mean they are posers. A mall goth is some one who wants attention and is dressing and acting like some thing they are not. Most of these mall goths are younger teens who are trying to find something to relate to.
My advice would not be to yell rude things at them, or be rude at all. Leave them be, because for all you know they might just like a style, and just because they are at the mall does not mean they are a mall goth. Mall goths are just people who want attention and hang out at malls allot.
If you dress goth and like going to the mall allot, it does not make you a poser! As long as it is who you really are :)

I saw a teen at the mall, dressed in very stereotypical goth garments and acting very rude to me and my boy friend, I think I saw him there a few times this week.
Mall goth are very similar to other teens who act up in public places and they they should have all eyes on the.
Don't worry, if you truly like they way you dress, you are not a poser, as poser or mall goth is some on who dresses to impress. They don't dress that way because they really feel a connection to the material they are wearing. They dress like that for attention.
Also see attention whore, poser, fake, media.

Often listen to bands like "HIM", "Evanescence" or "Linkin Park".
They have never heard/liked true gothic.
See also, pathetic.
