Goth

Goths differ to emos in that emos are unhappy about life, goths are just happy about black.

GOTH

I am "goth" and frankly quite sick of being called emo cuz i wear black, i dont consider myself goth but thats what everyone who isn't a freshy prick calls me (freshies call me emo).
I listen to all kinds of music, as a musician myself its all about the lyrical content.
I wear what i wear cuz its comfortable, not because it scares people.
I am not depressed, in fact 90% of my life i am smiling.
If your not "goth" we dont give a shit.
Its like when people ask us "why get piercings or tattoos" we dont care if you dont have them, so why should you care if we do?
We are definitely not all suicidal, i fucking love me life and am quite happy where i am.
Yes we all "conform" as in wear black and so on but we also try to be different from each other.
Most of us are quite talented in some form of the arts (writing, music, drawing ETC.)
We leave you alone you should leave us alone.
JUST BECAUSE WE WEAR BLACK DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE EMO.
I totally agree with the top definition in its saying "manson is not goth" its true he's just weird.
i hate people assuming cuz i wear black i love manson or stuff like that.
Korn is not goth, Slipknot is not goth.
Anyway the point is really we are just people too, so what if we dont look the same as you, we dont give you shit for it, so dont give us shit for it.
most "goths" dont call them self "goth"
any one who calls them self goth is normally trying to fit in some where. a true "goth" (or person of alternative lifestyle as i prefer to be called) hates being labeled and the idea of labels

Goth

GOTHS : It is basically undefinable b'coz "GOTH" means different things 2 each followers. It is up 2 the individual to define wad GOTH is for themselves. As for me, Goth has the blood of a punk. It then survive on as its own subculture. But some says that goths originated in the medieval age...

About the dressings. Wearing all black does not mean u're goth. Because goths loves to be unique & be different from the others. They do not care what people gonna say about em' because they know that they've got their own originality not like those people who loves common things & be the same as the others...The norm people would dress up the same & follows the trend but goths does not envy popularity... & a goth does not like to dress up the same as the other goths do...

Being a goth is interesting. It does not matter what religion are u because Goth is a CULTURE & NOT A RELIGION! In music wise, it also depends on which type of goth music u like to listen to... eg. Goth rock, ethareal, darkambient etc... As for me, i preferred on listening 2 ethareal which is most characterized by saprano female vocls combined with almost classical or folk type instrumentation which creates a surreal, angelic or love spiral downwards. Ethareal music often contains opera-like vocals... Ethareal is a subdivision in itself, however it is grouped towards the darkwave end rather than the gothic rock end...
If u people think that u're goths, think!!! "Are u goth enough?!"

Goth

Goths are a group of people who are just being themselves and in most cases don't actually label themsevles goth ( they are against labels in general)goth people are often artistic in some form and very creative. goth people are not super depressed people who decide to ware all black to piss off their parants (those who do this are posers). they are their own culture and would rather be themselves then fit in amoung a cookie cutter society.
Also most people asume they can't have fun, guess what they do have fun and laugh just like everyone else.
oh my god i'm going to be goth and be depressed and ware al black and like rebel against eerything
you are such a poser

Goth

A fascination with death and the morbid. The style of goth, which some goths may or may not wear, often includes black hair, pale skin, large quantities of metal jewelry, piercings, etc.

Some goths may be considered posers for they dress in the gothic style in order to gain attention and to be "different." The irony in this lies that they are all different, and thus all the same.
I was horrified to find it becoming a "trend" to be gothic in the United States and in Europe.

Goth

A subculture pretty much composed of hopeless bums, the founder of which thought it would be super swell to name their fun little group after the music they liked which was named after, I don't know... say... a group of GERMAN INVADERS, and/or a style of architecture utilized in the late middle ages (Durham Castle is a prime example of diffusion between the Romanesque and Gothic styles, actually, but the pure style involves thin columns, pointed archways, many stained-glass windows (making the GOTHIC cathedrals very BRIGHT), all supported by flying buttresses. Heh, the Goths I define, not known particularly for expansive intellects, will laugh at that one.). They prize themselves in being dark, sensitive and artistic, but most importantly, NOT POPULAR. Damn those popular kids! Popularity is sooooo overrated. (Yes, they all secretly want to be popular but find they cannot because nobody actually likes them) And by all means, they are NOT poseurs. In fact, the people whom they detest most are poseurs. You know, people who try to be like them, but could never attain the glory that is... GOTH!

I'll tell you what. Wanna be a nonconformist? Spend your time at the library instead of slitting your wrists, clad in men's work shirts, ties and pocket-protectors. Maybe then you'll actually make something of yourself. And you don't have to be popular, either!
Regular, pretty cool, intellectual college student (mockingly): Hey, emo kid. When you get depressed, do you cut your wrists in every direction? Does singing songs about getting dumped give you an erection?

Nineteen-year-old "Gothic" college-dropout: LIEK ZOMGZ!!! I AM NOT EMO!! EMO KIDS ARE POSEURS!! *punches regular, pretty cool, intellectual college student*

Regular, pretty cool, intellectual college student: It's funny that you did that, because much to your chagrin, I actually have the education necessary to not only submit a complaint to the police department, but defend myself in your battery case! Too bad you spent your days in your dark, depressing oblivion drawing pretty pictures of bleeding unicorns, not taking advantage of your parents' tuition savings. Good luck!
