Goth

Most people think that they know what a goth is, but really they do not. People usually think that goths are depressed and suicidal, always wear black, have no friends, and are always gay/bi. This is not the case at all. Most goths are not depressed and suicidal; most people you see like this are posers. Note that I say most, not all. Some goths are like this, but not the majority like people think. Also, although most goths do usually wear black, some do not even like the colour and prefer brighter colours. Goths do not have no friends, they just have enough sense to realize that popularity is not the most important thing in life. Furthermore, goths are not always gay/bi. The reason for this rumour is probably because goths are much more open-minded than many other people, and they usually regard both sexes as equal. Most of the “goths” people see are actually posers. Also, most people don’t know what goth music actually is. Slipknot, Korn and other bands posers listen to are not goth. Neither is Marilyn Manson. Some examples of actual goth bands are Bauhaus and Switchblade Symphony. So if a goth isn’t all these things, what are goths? Well goths are open-minded people, often with a dark appeal. There are many different types of goth, and all have their own individual style. Goths are also very creative and often become writers, poets or artists.
Goths are not the posers you see outside Hot Topic, they are open-minded, creative people who make great friends.

Goth

1.a person who dressed in black,will go creeping when the normal folk are sleeping, hates life, wears boots (never sandals!) who lights the room with candles, who pretends to be a vampire(like in stories round the campfire)(they'll suck your "bloody froth"), they have caskets, worship peter murphey and are best at imitating lestat and listen to the cure
2. a crazy person who drinks peoples blood (also known as a vampire)
i'd be thinner, i'd be taller, go clubbing in my collar, with skin pale as a moth,

Goth

Not necessarily people who are Satanic, or evil. But we like to play up that image. Because it scares you. And that's funny.

There are sub-divisions of the Goth style, and they're as varied as... A very varied thing. My own involves wearing bits of chainmail, gauntlets, and occassionally a helmet, and moshing my face off to the likes of Tyr, Amon Amarth and Turisas... Whereas my friend wanders around with a respirator on, a massive pair of black trousers with bright piping, and goggles...

In my opinion, skulls are the name of the game... But that opinion changes from goth to goth.

Plus we have the hottest girls.
I know... Hold my helmet. Gunna give her some of the Battelgoth charm.

Goths

There is alot of confusion between what a goth is because there is another 'brand' of person of which could be mistaken for one. These two brands are Goths and Goffs a Goff is a person who dresses in dark clothing and listens to rock and metal ect, a Goth is a person who has all this and believes in romantic death.
By this you should be able to understand that catogrising people aint gd coz u have no fuckin idea what u are goin on about and u sld listen to rock and metal ect its gd

Very cool and nonconforming music and style! Goths,contrary to popular belief, do not want to kill you or your mother.

Most Goths (at least the ones I know) are fun people who don't give a damn what the mainstream thinks or does.
Dork - Gawd, look at those goth kids with black hair and baggy clothes. I'm not going near them, they will probably throw shit at me.

Dork's buttbuddy- eeeeeeeeeeeee!

Goth

1) Teutonic people who invaded the Roman Empire. The threat ended in the 5th Century.

2) A set of intellectual and sartorial conventions adopted in order to publicly affirm the wearer's disdain for conventions or public displays. The threat ends when the goth's allowance is cut off.
1) Goth dialogue, 300AD. Look, Olaf! Chavs! By god, we shall attack them and plunder their booty!

2) Goth dialogue, 2006AD. Look, Tarquin! Chavs! Oh god, I hope they don't attack us and steal our unread Penguin Classics translations of Camus.
