Get the link me at my gates mug.Goths tend to be people who live in the shadows. They enjoy the things mainstream society has thrown away in its industrialization and desire to have more money than their neighbors. They are fascinated by these shadows of society and cherish the knowledge of them. Because of this, yes, they do tend to be relatively 'strange' by most definitions. No, they don't all cut themselves. No, they don't really care rather you like them or not, though they would happily talk to you and explain how they see the world. No, they don't all cut themselves. And no, they don't all think that they are vampires, and in fact, not all of them like Anne Rice. We don't all wear black every moment of out life. We also dont all wear tons of black eyeliner and dark lipstick from dawn til dusk, or dusk til dawn, whatever our scedules may be. Oh, and yes, some of us DO live during the day, just like everyone else. And yes, we do have a sense of humor and laugh at ourselves upon occasion.
The quiet kids hanging out in the corners who you think are always laughing at you simlpy because they don't go out of their way to suck up and quite commonly wear dark clothing? yeah, they may be Goths.

Goth is not a label. Goth is a real culture that expresses the beauty in darkness and morbidity. Goths usually wear all black, the color of their soul. They don't just wear anything black, the black clothes are more unique and elegant. Some Goths go beyond the black clothes and they wear thick eyeliner and black lipstick. Some make their faces white like a ghost and dye their hair unnatural colors. Goths can be Satan worshippers, Atheists, Christians, Pagans, Wiccans, or any religion. There are some people who give Goths a bad name and other Goths call them posers, but that is simply not true. In a garden, though some vegetables may be rotten, that doesn't mean they aren't vegetables. And as for Goths and non-conformity, what does Goth have to do with non-conformity??? If people join the Gothic Culture just because they want to be non-conformists then that is a very bad reason to become Gothic. People can be Gothic and still be individuals. I'm a Goth and I'm also an individual and I don't try to be different because there isn't any point in it. And Goths aren't all attention seekers. Many of us just feel comfortable looking a certain way, even if we have thick, pointy eyeliner and black lipstick, a pale face, and green hair. Not all Goths are angst-filled morons who have their mind set on blowing up their school. Alot of Goths don't even go to school; there are many adult Goths as well as teens. And I hate the word poser. People call other Goths posers to make themselves feel good. It's name calling, that's all it is, and it's very puerile. Calling someone a poser is definitely a form of bullying and it needs to be stopped.
I am a Goth because Goth is my soul.
I hate it when Goths get called Satan worshippers and it's not true and instead of just saying "I'm not a Satan worshipper" they go and say something negative about people who truly worship Satan.
I am a Satan worshipping Goth.

Get the goths mug.A term of negative repute for a game that truly is worth playing. It requires practice and stragetic thinking to get good at it. The judgemental asshats who have never played magic and seem to think it's cool to DOWN on the game around other people who are DOWNING on it should shut up and try to play the game instead of avoding it and insulting it's brilliance at every chance.

Get the Tragic: The Gathering mug.A group of Goths who talk to eachother on the the Neopets 'Evil Things and Monster Sightings'(EMS) board.
They are, pretty much, the coolest group of people on Neopets(as if that was saying much). A few are somewhat elitist, having a habit of jumping all over everyone who makes "goth" boards to make sure they know exactly what they are talking about. However, the people in this group are generally very nice and accepting. Many are simply tired of the false representation of "Goth" that is so popular today(part of this group being younger people who have to put up with it a lot).
The 'EMS Goths' usually start boards to discuss music(mainly Goth Rock, Deathrock, or Post-Punk. But, there are also some people who are more into other stuff, such as Industrial and New Wave), or sometimes just to chat with people they know about whatever.
The people within this group have changed through the years. There are always new people coming into the group, and there are a lot of old members of the group who don't come on much anymore. A few people who are associated with the EMS Goth group are Casey, Lex, Zrcalo, Vanity, Herr, Anne, and Rae.
Some of the longer-standing members have even been coming to be board for much longer than most of the EMS "regs".
Recently, tree symbols have been used frequently by this group. It's the result of an inside joke. It gets called a "goth tree." And, no, they don't hate for anyone else to use the symbol. If someone says something about someone outside the group using the "goth tree," they are most likely joking around. Another thing this group has been recently known for is the "Gawfic Camel Club,"
started by Josh. Most are also members of guild "Goth Underground."
....And 'Raito Yagami' is a douchebag :)

"The EMS Goths are awesome, even if they do use the Neopets messageboards"
"The EMS Goths listen to a lot of 80s music"
"The EMS Goths sure do like camels and those little tree symbols."

Get the EMS Goths mug.When the subject becomes wrapped up in feelings that are dictated by the need for an unobtainable dream. The person can seem incredible irrational and borderline obsessive. The subject may or may not be aware of dream being unattainable. If they are aware, a dilemma most often will occur in regards to pursuing the goal or dropping it. While one answer seems correct to outside people, they will seem equally as hard to the subject.
'Why doesn't Fred just stop talking to Sally. He has to know nothing is there for him. He is simply wasting his time trying hook up with her again. Ok, maybe they had something 7 years ago but come on he just needs to move on'
