Goth Poseur

A goth Poseur is a person who just dresses up as a goth, just for the attention. When they go out, they spend ages covering themselves in white makeup and eyeliner, and when they're lazing around inside, listening to Gwen Stefani, they wear a pink tracksuit.
They dont understand about goths,or that it is a lifestyle. They just want the stares. And you dont understand goths either if you think that all of them worship satan, cut themselves, and cry endlessly.

Poseur goths do it for the stares. Proper goths do it because thats just how they want to live and dress, and dont give a shit about what anyone else thinks.

goth punk 

Some people who have added to this definition have an extremely poor understanding of what so-called 'goth punk' is. Its roots are in MUSIC, the fashion being something secondary that developed out of and was inspired by the mood the music evokes. Goth punk (also defined as 'deathrock' and part of the 'post-punk' movement) deals with themes of death and mortality, sorrow, despair, surrealism, fantasy, the darker side of the life of society, the supernatural, the occult, romanticism, the effects of psychological terror and trauma - just to name a few of the basics. The music of goth punk, (as opposed to the more traditional extremely fast and anger-based hardcore punk), usually exists within the realm of medium-fast, more danceable rhythms often including tribal tom-based drum sections for the verses. The music also often includes a synthesizer to accompany the drums, bass and guitar, which again, is something more traditional hardcore punk usually refrained from including. The result is more of a moody, introspective sound that takes one into the realms of imagination. The classic, essential deathrock (or goth punk) bands include: Christian Death (the original lineup with vocalist Rozz Williams), early TSOL, UK Decay, The Damned, 45 Grave, Alien Sex Fiend and The Cramps.

Keep in mind that there were also several 'dark punk' bands around the same time that, while not maybe being quite as 'gothic' in some regards, still had enough stylistic similarities to be worthy of mention. They include bands such as: The Adicts, The Adverts, The Mob, False Prophets, Wipers, Chrome and can't forget classics that bridged the gap between hardcore and darkpunk such as Black Flag, Dead Kennedys and The Misfits. One should at least check out the classic goth punk (or, as I prefer to call them, deathrock) bands before making comments on the genre. Keep in mind that while all these bands have similarities, they also have very distinctive sounds that set them apart from the others, as all good artists should, so don't think that just because you've heard one or two of the bands mentioned that you know what goth punk sounds like. Modern goth punk bands worthy of mention are: Cinema Strange and Cauda Pavonis.

Goth geek 

a Goth - Geek is nesscesscarily a mixture of the two. quite to contrary belief, many people thing they are depressed, when in actuality, they are probably some of the happiest people you could know. they usually wear combats and shirts, generically one without logos and one conforming to a colour scheme, usually black or white. they identify the features of geeks, and watch anime & manga, while also conforming to gaming culture (note: gamers are also a tribe)
they identify the idiolect of 1337, and often can be judgemental. some identify "emo" as posing and pathetic. they listen to metal from the late 70's to early 90's. and see most new music as a Dire attempt to make money without skill.

"Im a Goth geek" "...what?" "goth geek" "...does that even exsist?" "yes." "well ill be damned"

goth-wannabe 

A person, not necessarily happy or annoying, that categorizes themselves as "Goth" (or "Punk" or "Emo" or any of that crap) for the sake of calling themselves goth. Not always annoying, not always faking creativity or depression or whatever. Just insincere.

Says: Wow, that's so deep...

Thinks: Yah, deep like a frisbee
