Gothic
Get the Gothic mug.
gothic
Of or relating to goth and the subculture thereof. Older adherents of the subculture (it's been around since the 1970s, people) prefer to call themselves "gothic" rather than "goths". The term is reminiscent of a style of medieval architecture and intended to bring to mind images of gargoyles, stone arches and funerary monuments.
There is no "gothic movement". Get over it.

to me gothic isnt a just a style of clothing it is a state of mind also. im so sick of people saying your goth if you wear black for a whole week stright!! you prepy poeple need to get over your selves and stop talking a bout people to make yourself feel better. you only do it because you world isnt as good as everyone elses and you try to make other peoples worse than yours. you don't get it some people get sick of it and go home and kill there selves because you made the feel unwanted.
now back to gothic to me it is a state of mind not a life style being goth if you are doesn't mean you worship the devil it doesn't have to mean you worship god either it doesn't mean you worship anyone it means you like dark things and that you enjoy life the way you want to live it !!
you know people can't bow to your every weem. people now-a-days need to tend to to there selves first then everyone elses. i am a VERY MAD 13 year old girl tried of the worl and its stupid fits. i am told that i am more grown up then most adults by other adults that i am . it also scares me to know that i a 13 year old girl seems to be more mature than most adults. now sometimes i am my a wee bit childish but that is normaly when i am with my friends i get a little out of hand but who dosent.
my real prefrence of the word gothic is someone whom is their selves lives life to the fullest and is not afraid to laugh out loud!!!!!

Gothic can mean a lot of things. Mainly to be devided among 3 categories.
1. Gothic is a music style.
2. Gothic is a clothing style.
3. Gothig is a way of thinking.
Opinions about what makes someone a real goth are very different. People can favour one of the three above things, without necessarily having to favour the other 2. A lot of time 2 or 3 of them are combined.
Gothic music came out of punk music. Punk music is mostly angry at the world. But goth was more saying: "There are a lot of evils in the world, and that makes me very sad." Gothics tend to make the world better and are very friendly people most of the times (every culture has rotten apples).
The clothing style contains a lot of corsets, dresses, spikes, hairfall/dreadlocks, military boots, etc.
A lot of people mistake gothic for being depressive, the clothing style only black, etc.
The gothic way of thinking is mostly kind. Goths tend to treat everything with the same respect, love nature, a small (or big) love for dark unknown things or fantasy (like vampire's, cemetary's, wearwolves) and accept everyone as they are.
Unlike how a lot of people think, gothic is not bound to any form of religion.

Gothic
1) A style of architecture in the 20th century.
2) A tribe, also called Gaul’s, who sacked the Roman Empire, causing the dark ages and medieval times.
2) A subculture who likes the darker side of things, but not really evil. Gothic music has many different genres, there is screamo and death metal sounding gothic music, there's peaceful gothic music, there is a mix of classical instruments and modern rock instruments, and much more. Classic gothic clothing is usually chains and black clothes.
Goths are stereotyped to only wear black, but that is not true. Usually a gothic person likes more than black, like gray, red, blue, or purple for example.
Stereotypes:
All Goths only like black.
All Goths are satanic.
All Goths are evil.
All Goths are miserable.
All Goths like blood.
All Goths like vampires.
Goths never laugh.
Goths cut themselves.
Goths are depressed.
Goths are ignorant teenagers who just want attention.
These are the truths:
Goths who shop at Hot Topic or other stores like that are posers, see Mall Goth.
Goths are usually nice and happy, but not all the time. Some of them just have a darker character, which doesn't make them evil.
Goths are usually peaceful; they almost never settle things by fighting.
Goths do not cut themselves. See emotionally distressed. (NOTE: Emos do not cut themselves either, but emotionally distressed people do.)
Not all Goths view Marilyn Manson, as the 'King of Goth.' Marilyn Manson is not Gothic, he is just a crazy guy who sings metal. He is one of the people who gives Goths a bad name.
Goths are random individuals who happen to like the same things.
