goth kids arent rebels that want to piss off their parents by weaaring black, and loads of make up a lot of goths don't dress like that at all.
a goth is a person that believes in individuality they dress in the clothes that they like the look of and listen to the music that makes them happy (usually goth or black metal).they are usually smart and creative and they aren't bothered about what people think of them.
goths don't worship the devil or sacrafice goats that is a saitanist, yeah goths seem dark but that is because they keep themselves to themselves.

A greeting where a man's genitals are grabbed and shaken by another man, regardless of consent. The term was coined in the song "Gothenburg Handshake" by The Pains of Being Pure At Heart.
"He shook way more than my hand...he pulled a Gothenburg Handshake on me and now my balls feel awkward and molested..."

You know those weird gothic kids who hang out at places like Waffle House, IHOP, and Denny's in the wee hours of the morning? That's exactly what I'm talking about. See, a friend and I recently discovered exactly WHY goths are so attracted to these places.

"WAFFLES. THEY'RE SO FUCKING SPOOKY. Why didn't I see it before?! I mean, have you ever looked at one of those mofos? Pure. Anguish. Their brief lives are pain. They've been simmered in a hot pan or iron quite possibly burnt, only to be consumed by the consumer MACHINE, yo."

Waffles are therefore obviously a symbol of gothic culture.
Frat guy 1: "Hey man, last night was awesome! I need to get some coffee before I try to go to class. Maybe some breakfast, too. Denny's is still open, right?"

Frat guy 2: "Nah, man, that place is full of waffle goths, let's go to Bob Evans."

1. a music genre inspired by gothic rock and 80's synth-pop, with a more mainstream sound.

2. a style of dress characterized by dark colors, and pseudo-militant clothing, but notably more subtle and casual than traditional goth;ie: more "grown up"; more "street".
1. Zeromancer, (newer)Apoptygma Berzerk, Bombs Over Berlin, etc.

2. The wardrobe worn by the cast of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" has been called 'post-goth'.

An short explanation of gothic art; literature; and subculture:

Anything that is goth or gothic relates to some degree how the old Germanic tribes were viewed.

Around the 12th Century gothic architecture started to appear. It was called gothic because certain critics considered this new form of art as barbaric as the old Germanic tribes. Gothic art was seen as raw, unrefined, and was better suited for a past and forgotten era.

The term gothic was also later used to describe a type of story or poem, normally associated with horror and the supernatural. This was probably looked on with some distaste like the art form before.

As for todays goth subculture although it was born in the 80s with the invention of goth rock music, the word goth still relates to something that is unpleasing because it seems harsh and unrefined.

Although punk could also be considered harsh and unrefined, it is commonly associated with anarchism, while the goth subculture was associated with the philosophy of nihilism.

Nihilism has many branches to it, but in its simplest form it is extreme skepticism.
Gothic architecture contained pointed arches, the ribbed vault and the flying buttress.

Gothic literature often included horror, terror, medieval backdrops and gothic buildings, melodrama, and parodies.
