A Norwich UK word.
A synonym for mini-goths. In essence those children aged 12 and upwards who dress in (what they believe to be) gothic clothing, talk about slitting their wrists like it's a cool thing to do (the talking, not the slitting), and tend to listen to bands such as: Sum 41, Blink 182, HIM, The Rasmus, Slipknot, and anything else of that ilk.

Check out that kid in the black listening to HIM and talking about wrist-cutting. Now *THAT'S* a novelty-goth!

A "Goth" girl, usually between the ages of 20-23. These girls call themselves Goth, but do not listen to the music, or even acknowledge that Goth is a music-based subculture. They are usually metalheads, and think that listening to black metal, slam, and deathcore will make them considered more "Goth" by their followers. They throw around the word "elitist" like crazy. They argue that normal people do not respect Goths, but they themselves do not respect and appreciate how the Goth subculture originated.

Goth rock is a sub-genre of post punk music which originated in the UK in the late 70s (specifically 1979).
The first goth song is said to be "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus because even though the song was supposed to be written tongue-in-cheek, the band performed it with naive seriousness and the audience understood it with seriousness.
Goth rock characteristics include a 4 / 4 post punk beat, a drum machine, baritone vocals (common in men, like Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters of Mercy), flanging guitar used for atmosphere and a prominent bassline. Some goth bands use characteristics of tribal music in their work, too (see: Southern Death Cult and Stairs - Uncertain Journey by Christian Death).
Contrary to belief, goth has not "evolved" and throughout the decades, the sound has relatively stayed the same. However, other dark or spooky genres and bands have cropped up throughout those decades which commonly get called "goth". This is false as goth only specifically refers to bands within that genre, not any band that uses a "dark" image or "spooky" lyrical themes.
Bands like Marilyn Manson and EBM bands like God Module are commonly mistaken for "Goth" when they're part of different genres.
The sound for all three of these groups are completely different, therefore could not be considered to be part of the same genre.

It is common for a goth to listen to goth rock, darkwave, deathrock and post punk but they can enjoy genres like metal (symphonic and Gothic in particular), industrial, EBM and synth pop too, just as long as they realise that the latter list are not goth genres.

A glam goth is a person who combines current goth styles with high street fashion. They switch baggy bondage trousers for high waisted leather shorts, and ripped tops for black sequined tops. They may still wear goth boots, or simply high heels. There dominant colour is still black, but they add a little sparkle to it.
People like-Dita Von teese may come under glam goth
But glam goth mainly covers people such as the rotley crue.
