Goth

(adjective)
Once whom is a "goth" is off-set onto many different definitions.

Stereotype goths, such as the people whom work at and/or shop at Hot Topic, are the standard of what one what think as a goth. Your stereotypical goth usually consists of....
-Listening to Heavy Metal
-Wears a LOT of chains/spikes
-Dresses in all black
-Hate anything colorful
-Write (not very good) poetry
-Idolizes "Jack" from The Nightmare Before Christmas
-Do numerous drugs

Not all goths are like this, but many goths hate to socialize outside of their sub-society. Not all goths are miserable. But those whom do may not know why.And some goths only use their label as an excuse to use the Goth fashion.

In all, there are just as many good things about goths as there are bad things.
Not all Goths are bad people. But some goths are just there to make us REAL miserable people look bad.

Goth Goth Goth

A game of Epic proportions.
You stand around in a circle with everyone who is playing. Anyone can then make the call of "Goth" on anyone else. For example person 1 can point at person 5 and call "Goth" The "Goth" then has to run for his/her dear life while everyone else then has to chase after the "Goth" whilst shouting "Goth Goth Goth.. etc" abusing them untill deemed they have been thoroughly beaten. After this has happened. The group, regroups and takes a breather waits for previously chosen goth to stop crying and then game resumes.
Goth is not allowed to be called on the same person twice in a row but is allowed to be called on them again after 1 other person has been the goth
Fair play is deemed important to this game, otherwise you could lose friends
Play with real goths for added thrills and excitement
example 1: person 1: "lets play goth goth goth!" person 2: "yeah that game is awesome!" person 3:"GOTH GOTH GOTH GOTH! *points at person 1*"

example 2: "I played goth goth goth once but i wasn't epic enough so when i was the goth I got beat and then i cried"

Goth

Let's say what's not Goth!
Emo is not Goth; emo bands are bands that are angsty and emotional like Fall out boy, silverstein, rites of spring and falling in reverse; Emo wasn't dark in any way until My Chemical Romance started making their fashion darker.

Death metal bands such as Cannibal Corpse is not Goth; death metal is metal so if it looks very gory and they're band name is chaotic or violent like "Mayhem" or "Slayer" it's Extreme Metal, Not Gothic Rock!

One metal stereotype that gets confused with Goth a lot is what I call black metal: bands that sound really heavy and satanic, wear corpse paint, bullet belts and satanic crosses and stars, stereo typically this group is also blamed for church burnings.

So what is Goth?
Goth is wearing pale make up, black clothes, fishnets (if one wants to), and listening to a genre called post punk such as The Cure, Sisters Of Mercy and Siouxsie & The Banshees.

Goth is not Evil.
Black Metal: "I'm gonna listen to Mayhem and be Satanic"
Emo: "I'm gonna listen to Fall out Boy and draw anime"
Goth: "I'm gonna listen to The Cure and drink coffee"
