Get the goth mug.The single most annoying type of poser. %30 are poor white trash with supposed "dye jobs" that are probably the product of them coloring their hair with magic marker. They are also too poor to afford the overpriced ugly chain linked pants from Hot Topic so they usually wear goodwill jeans dyed black with some shitty band (slipknot, korn, ICP, Mandon) t shirt that is 2 sizes too big. Another %60 are spoiled suburban kids who think their lives suck even though mommy and daddy buy them everything they want. Usually sport better, but still shitty dye jobs because mommy and daddy pay for it to be done at the JC Penny salon at the mall. They buy extremely overpriced clothing from Hot Topic, but still shop at Goodwill, becuase goths are supposed to be poor. The other %10 have no specific social class, but still carry most of the previously stated characteristics.
All mallgoths whine about their 'shitty' lives. If anyone is mean to them about anything they automatically scream "DON'T HATE ME BECAUSE I'M GAWTHYCKCKC!!!! I'M NOT A SOUP CAN!" but will immediately turn around and make fun of a groups of girls for wearing American Eagle clothes, which makes them 'preps'. If a mallgoth is actually harassed for being 'gothic' they suddenly start crying because they are too pussy to really take the criticism.
Mallgoths will also come up with stupid meaningless nicknames for each other because they think it's cool.
These nicknames often change daily and a log must be kept to ensure currency. IE. Skittles, Sprinkles, Squeegy, Skippy, Muffin, Kitty, Pancake, Cupcake....ect.
Most are often considered to be 'ironic' because everyone knows that mallgoth aren't cute so it's clever to give them cutesy nicknames with no meaning behind it.
Mallgoths also listen to pop music or mainstream emo rock and assume it's goth and metal.
Faking mental illness and sexual orientation is often very common among mallgoths.

A contradiction in terms.
Emos are not gothic, and goths are not emo. They both sprang from the punk subculture, and they both wear a lot of black, but that's where the similarities end.

Get the gothic music mug.Popular style with the teens of Harajuku.There are two types main, EGL and EGA. This fashion was first started/popularized by Mana of the then famous band Malice Mizer that later disbanned. Gothic Lolita clothes have a sometimes very dark (as seen by Mana's clothing label Moi-Mem-Moitie) or sometimes very kawaii (demonstrated by Baby The Stars Shine Bright). The clothes sometime seem to have a fantasy world or Alice and Wonderland feel to them. The most popular Gothic Lolita magazine is a Japanese publication called The Gothic and Lolita Bible.
She donned a frilly bonnet, an apron, a lacy shirt, and a poofy skirt before stepping out of the house. Even though we knew what she was trying to dress like a girl in The Gothic and Lolita Bilbe, she still looked like a child.

Get the Gothic Lolita mug.A real goth doesn't conform to any trend. Wearing all black was an attempt to defy conformity, before it became a trend in itself. Real goths don't give much of a fuck about what they wear, it just happens that they wear black. This labeling is all about a persons mentality and beliefs, not the way the dress. Of course, because of little idiot kids, Goths have now become shamed... all because of little fuckheads trying to be different. It's all about the music and your mentality, not the way you appear.

Get the Goth/Gothic mug.An other "type" of goth with a general knowledge of Goth Culture. They give their own "flair" to the scene by being to such an extreme of non-conformist that they often don't get the approval of other more traditional goths because their quite a bit "wilder" in behavior than others.
The typical dress of a Punk Goth is not always all black. They tend to like a more "punky" look with accessories like wristbands, beanies, and chains hanging from their pants or long shorts.
