A goth person can be many things.
Most goths tend to be thoughtful and interesting. They tend to define themselves as different with no interest in the mainstream, and also enjoy the heavier side of music.
Many of the so called "goths" in here have polluted this site with their slanted views and thoughts.
They believe that people who listen to Nu Metal are posers. This is untrue.
The fact that they scream "faggoth" at people who enjoy their own types of music are more poser-like than the accused.
Goth is more of a state of mind, a state of thought. Goths will support what they want to support, and listen what they want to listen to. Their values go deeper than those of people in the mainstream, and they generally are very sociable.
True goths have their own taste and way of life. The so called "true goths" bash them because they enjoy music that they dont like.
There is really no such thing as a goth poser. All poser images are based on opinion only, and are very biased.
There are many types of goths, with many different outlooks on life. Some are depressed, some are happy, but most are very cerebral and deep people.
Goths enjoy heavy music in general, such as death or black metal. Some lighter genres are permitted, and should even be celebrated, because they have their own taste.
Goths should never shape their taste to the mainstream just because other people do, and they are the ones who are true posers. You will be able to spot them very quickly.
Some goths may support gay rights, some may not, but among the goth circles, opinions are welcomed. The point of being goth is having indiviuality.

I enjoy the soft music of A Perfect Circle, and I also enjoy the rough death metal of Cannibal Corpse.

An off-shoot of the gothic subculture. This sub-sub-culture group's musical tastes and clothing style center around the merchandise from the popular store Hot Topic. This group has little in common with goth-dom's more established sub groups such as the Rivetheads (industrial goths), Gravers (clubber/raver goths), Death Rockers (punk/goth hybrids), or the multitude of other groups. Usually younger, anywhere from 13 to 17. They tend to focus more on appearance and much less on the ethics of counter-culture, and often quickly move on to another trend. Hot Gothics can normally be found wandering in or hanging out at malls, almost always accompanied by 3 to 5 other Hot Gothics. Common musical tastes range from performers like Marilyn Manson and Insane Clown Posse to Lamb of God and KoRn.
"Please, think of the poor goth icons, spay or neuter your Hot Gothics today. Jack Skelington will thank you."

Get the Hot Gothic mug.The gothic subculture, as much of the subcultures, has a more mainstream version of its collective which resides close to the actual subculture, and by mainstream is often mistaken for its father-category, but is often scorned by goths themselves as being a more style-over-substance collective.
Named because it is generally comprised of teenagers, a younger large audience than the gothic culture itself, the members of the baby-goth group often wear makeup and black clothes as goths do, but are much more attracted to anti-christian and satanic elements, excessive eye-liner, black lipstick, trench-coats, and band t-shirts.
Music is a major influence of the culture, lead by artists such as Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Korn, and other teen-angst based bands of which image plays a main part, as an exaggerated and more vulgar interpretation of the gothic imagery.

Get the baby-goth mug.A term adopted by many Youtubers (from the popular online series "Goth Lyfe"), which has now broken forth onto the mainstream. "Goth on a Stick" can be used as a term for someone who is being told off, or is in trouble, usually someone who other members of society may see as a stoner goth metalhead emo or many other minority subcultures unappreciated by most of society. Using this term does not mean that the person actually using the term nessecarily disrespects the fashion.
James: Oh Shikes, Tony didn't get the train today!
Asa: Oh God, you don't think that little emo cry baby is in detention again?
Josaline: No, I think he's in a real "goth on a stick" situation.
Promise: He's being raped by TTB!
All: *dramatic singing and screaming noises*
