They are scary looking teenagers who hangout around Malls and Laser Tag joints and other places mothers of tweens and elementary school children frequent. They wear black and have pale skin. Many have tattoos, severe make-up, weird jewelry and such and while I am pretty sure they are probably not actually dangerous and maybe they just want to look nonconforming, they all look a like to me, my basic instinct is to protect my children from them where ever they are or might hang.
On the way to drop off 5 boys ages 10-12 so my cousin and I could go next door to shop at Walmart, Anna said; "Hey boys, let's go to the other laser tag joint instead, OK? Last time the place was full of these Gothic teenagers and we can't stay to supervise you."

A loser who doesn't have any friends, so becomes a gothic so he/she suddenly is part of a group.

They dress all black, wear black makeup and black nails. Sometimes they even pretend to be vampires by putting fangs in their mouth.

Usually these are just teens who just hit puberty and do strange shit just to get attention. (see attention whore). When people who are older than lets say 18 are still gothic, then they are probably also Che Guevara worshippers without a real future.

Really, these people are useless. They should all get shot so they have a real reason to be depressed about. No one thinks your morbid, interesting, a vampire or scary. No one cares at all about your bullshit. Please die.
Hey look. There walks another shitface gothic.
-Wanna kick his ass?
Yea, good idea.

Originally a style of architecture, such as the old cathedrals from 1400 AD.

It was also a music type, and followers of this music type are usually called 'goth's.

Now-a-days, anyone referred to as gothic have the stereotypical image of black clothes, dark make-up sometimes, and listening to heavy, dark music and may be considered depressed all the time and is sadistic. Most times this is not the case, example is my friends. Dressing the part is not 'gothic', which they don't seem to understand..sigh..

So:
1. A style of Architecture
2. A music type
3. An annoying person who attempts to be gothic.
4. A mainstream turn to state something is 'gothic', or dark
1. The gothic cathedrals are really beautiful.

2. I don't really like goth, it doesn't appeal to my ears.

3. "I'm so gothic! Look, I'm wearing black!"
"No, no, you're not."

4. "That is so gothic.."

A person who is gothic is one who enjoys the idea of death, blood, gore, etc., being a larger part of their life. Personally, true gothic people are caring, understanding, and usually outcasts. The reason this is is not just because of their all black clothing (which is only the case for a vast majority of them, while some do not wear all black), but also it is due to their beliefs being either against the mainstream, or some other bullshit reason.

Gothic people tend to be legitimate, hard working indivuals.... who would have guessed?! (hard sarcasm). These people who are usually self proclaimed gothics tend to be the occultists, which is the stereotype the "general public" has made for this word. Those people are typically satanists (those who worship the devil, and commit crimes in their worship, not following the true satanic religion set by Anton Lavey). These people often tend to be rude, or otherwise ignorant, people. This again is the common stereotype.

The gothic community (yes there is such a thing) sees these people as fakes, or people trying to fit in. This is most likely the case, and should therefore be reestablished to a more prominent word... maybe ass holes, or suicidal bitches. When a person is truly gothic, that individual most commonly is a practicing pagan, wiccan, TRUE SATANIST, or other occult of appropriate fitting. Remember, occultists are not devil worshippers.

Another thing to know of this, gothic people are people who stray away from the majority due to their belief of heavy individuality. They do not like to blend in; rather, they like to stand out and be noticed for their uniqueness. They are not trying to "get attention" so they can be attention whores. Gothic people are attention getters because they are strictly unique.
The gothic community was accepting of us when we attended a mass event with some friends.

I really enjoy my gothic friends, they are very understanding of what I believe and back me up. They sometimes help me question things I never thought about before.

It's incredible that gothic people really aren't that bad. They aren't ass holes like I thought.
