old school goth

An old school goth is one who listens to goth rock that was recorded and released from 1979-1985 (the prototype goth era) before the goth subculture embraced techno, goth metal and industrial music. These old school goths do not always wair overtly costly clothing like modern goths and are often be found in more everyday clothing. Old school goths will often listen to bands such as bauhaus, The Cure, The Damned, Siouxsie and The Banshees (in other words, post punk and goth rock) as well as various other genres that influenced or are asscosiated with the early goth movement such as dub, reggae, punk rock, glam rock and genres that influenced early goth rock. Most old school goths never listen to goth metal and certainly object to the commercialism of the goth subculture and fashion as seen by mall punks and mall goths whom don't even listen to goth rock.
Old School Goth: I listen to Bauhuas and siouxsie and the banshees, then I listen to some of Iggy Pop and David Bowie.

New School/Mall Goth: Dude get with the times. listen to marylin manson he's fucking dark and hardcore, eww ya I got the new evanescance CD they're awesome goths.

South Park Goth Kids

The Goth Kids play a side role in South Park. They were partially featured in "Raisins," "You Got F'd In the A," and most recently, featured in "The Ungroundable." The Goth Kids in South Park are known for smoking, drinking coffee, hanging out in the back of the school and calling the other students,"Conformists" and "Justin and Britney wannabes." The Goth Kids are made up of four students: Henrietta, a kindergartner, a kid who likes to flip his hair, and a goth with curly hair and leans on a cane.
My favorite South Park line is when the cute little goth kindergartner, one of the South Park Goth Kids says to Stan, "They're all a bunch of Nazi conformists."

old school goth

A person who listens to old goth music (From the 80s), like Deathrock (Christian Death, Alien Sex Fiend, Specimen), Post-Punk (Bauhaus, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Joy Divison), Gothic Rock (The Sisters of Mercy, Fields of The Nephilim, Rosetta Stone) and maybe some New Wave (Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Soft Cell), or anything related to the Batcave.

Old School aesthetics are punkish and cheesie, dark and sometimes elegant or sofisticated, but you don't have to dress goth to be goth.

They have no philosophy, nor a lifestyle, the only thiing that makes them a subculture is the music. Metal, Nu Metal, Industrial, EBM, or related genres are not included. Psychobilly, Horror Punk, Darkwave, New Wave and No Wave are related genres to goth, but generally are not considered goth, except for some Darkwave (Sopor Aeternus) and No Wave (Lydia Lunch) bands.

Goth music is not only music from the 80s, we have many groups from the 90s and 00s making goth music, like Naughty Zombies, Cinema Strange, Diva Destriuction, Joy Disaster, Faith and The Muse, Bat Attakk, London After Midnight, Two Witches, Frank The Baptist, All Gone Dead, etc...
Guy 1 - What subculture do you belong to?
Guy 2 - I'm an old school goth, I listen to Christian Death and Siouxsie.

soft goth

A person who loves things such as black make up and black clothing, but has hidden it for a long time. Once they come out of their shell and become a normal goth, they are looked upon and are known as posers instead of themselves. They can be any type of goth too.

They are normally very understanding, but many people are thrown off by their change or actual look so they never get close enough to be their friend and they normally are mean to them instead of trying to talk to them.
Normal Person- S/he changed into a goth what a poser!

Someone who understands- She isn't a poser she is a soft goth.
