There is something horribly wrong with the way people view "goths". "Goths" are not always doom and gloom. They are not always listening to screaming, miserable music. And, oh, did you know, some "Goths" even wear different colors other than black? Ever heard of Bauhaus or Siouxsie and the Banshees? They're considered "goth" bands.
The culture is so much different from what people make it out to be. Being "goth" is a way of expressing yourself to your liking. Just as some might wear letterman jackets and other clothes. They're normal people with different views. You can't lump them into some little group because a bunch of teenyboppers decided they were going to slit their wrists and write horrible poetry. That's just the same as saying all "preps" worship their boyfriends and say 'like' all of the time. It's stupid and it's full of prejudice. Granted, prejudice is what seems to make the world go around lately.. Doesn't mean you have to give in to that trend of throwing out vile and disgusting words at something you don't understand.

"The Gothic scene and the mundane world have always been at odds. This rift is largely due to a miniscule breakdown in communication resulting simply from the misapplication of certain words."

Get the Gothic mug.Anyone who tries to act "gothic," but isn't really gothic in nature.
Includes people who try to wear "gothic" clothing, get numerous piercings, or talk obsessively about darkness, death, and destruction, in order to either be cool, get attention, or be seen as dark and mysterious.
This does not apply to people who wear "gothic" clothing just because they like it, or people who really are goths. Psuedo goths are merely people who are posing as something they aren't.
The phrase also could be extended to those elements of popular culture that emulate the "goth" style or theme but are nonetheless mainstream in their making.
This could furthermore be extended to apply to some bands, but not nessecarily the ones listed in previous entries for this word.

A Goth who believes Jesus is the son of God and everything else Christianity believes.
The good Christian Goths are the ones who are true to their faith and live their life as their beliefs entail.
The bad type of "Christian Goth," is one who tries to push other Goths into becoming Christian or worse is a (fake) "Goth" only because they want to convert others to Christianity. Mainly by either starting up a "Christian Goth band" or sponsoring an event that seems Goth oriented, but the unwilling victim doesn't know he/she is going to a Christian evangelism event until they walk into the place.

Real Christian Goth: "I might be depressed, but at least I believe in God and live my life right, and I am not going to push others into my beliefs but only lead by example."
Fake "Christian Goth": "Alright, how many new people we got at 'Damnation Fest' tonight? Eight? That's great, the new flier design worked and none of them suspected at all! Soon they will listen to some "Goth Music" about Jesus, and then we will give them some pamphlets warning them that they must become "Christian Goths" or burn in hell.

Get the Christian Goth mug.A gothic hippie is the best of both words.
I was raised by Hippie parents, but my dad is also very gothic in style. I'm in my late 30s. So that can give you an idea of my parents age.

I am a gothic hippie, and I have been one my entire life. Being a girl, I tend to wear a wide variety of clothing. One day I can be in a pair of bell bottom jeans and a rock band shirt, the next a black broomstick skirt and a nice flowing shirt on top. My music is across the board depending on mood. I can listen to meditation one moment and Rob Zombie the next. Really it is across the board. Hippie Goths don't have to be just pagans either. I am Catholic, and am very devout. I am about Peace love and happiness. I do love history and the victorian era as someone else wrote.LOL But I do also love to read. Sci-fi, horror,classics, and I don't love romance unless its about some form of vampire lust. I have a dark humor. I love Renfaires too. So, like I said I am exactly what the name says Gothic hippie..the best of both worlds.

Get the Gothic Hippie mug.A fashion sub-culture (originated on tumblr) that is heavily inspired by Japanese "kawaii" street fashion mixed with elements of goth and grunge fashion. Usually worn with pastel, dark, occult, scary, and cutesy accessories and hair colors/wigs. Vintage elements are also welcome.
Commonly misinterpreted as a part of goth (it is a subset of goth) fashion and wrongly accused of being a poser fashion. Pastel goth is strictly a fashion asthetic, not an identity (no intention of involvement in gothic or grunge culture or music) nor do pastel goths/nu goths identify as goth, pastel goth, grunge, etc.
Pastel goth is also synonymous with creepy cute, pastel goth lolita, and nu goth.

I love how she coordinates her ripped black sweater and pastel purple skirt with hair bows and a studded choker, so pastel goth.

Get the Pastel Goth mug.1. One who conforms to the Gothic subculture, as perpetuated by the late 80's/ early 90's kids that started it. Generally, a real goth is an intellectual individual, with interests in non-mainstream religion(s) or philosophy(s). Many prefered independant music and other media, over that of mainstream.
2. Someone smart enough to know that goth has nothin' to fuckin' do with CLOTHES!

Marcy said she was goth. Marcy said she was scene. Marcy proceeded to whine about every fuckin' thing under the sun, wear neon pink skulls all the fuck over, and listen to the crappiest, most mainstream music she could find (as long as the band wore eyeliner). All of Marcy's loser friends followed suit like the sheep they were. Eventually, the real goths got so sick of it, they stopped calling themselves gothic, so that they didn't have to be affiliated with losers like fuckin' Marcy.
