1: An extinct East Germanic Tribe whose language died out over a century years ago. Famous for sacking Rome.
2: An alternative subculture centered around goth music from the late 70s into the early 80s. Once fans of Punk, they developed a darker style of Post-Punk that would be called Gothic Rock. Today, goth music includes: Gothic Rock, Deathrock, Dark Wave, Ethereal Wave, Cold Wave, (some) Gothabilly, and Batcave. Many goths also like New Wave, Post-Punk, Industrial, and Shoegaze. (Note: all genres of Heavy Metal including Gothic Metal and most of Industrial are *not* goth. neither is Emo, a type of Hardcore Punk fused with Indie Rock nor gothbois, a group of soundcloud rappers).
Goths are not depressive or self-harming, this is a stereotype from the 2000s. Goths also do not believe in asinine and false concepts like "seeing beauty in darkness" or the worse notion that goth is a lifestyle. Goths are not "all accepting" and have genre rules just like Metalheads and Punks. Goths are not a trash bin for any social outcast, and they aren't always kinky or promiscuous either. Goths are people with a common taste in music and dress a certain way to find their tribe. Goths are otherwise like any other person with differing interests, needs, socio-economical class, political beliefs, ethnic backgrounds, and personalities. The only difference from the general population is they keep their music scene underground and away from mainstream media.

1: "Oh man, I'm glad I wasn't in Rome when the Goths came."
2: "One of the best songs to understand Goths has to be 'Sexbeat' by Sexbeat. A true goth anthem!"

Get the Gothsack mug.The name of a boy who was named after the thing that blocks pigs from escaping their fucking pen. A fence. This boy can come across as charming and adorable, but is really a bitch. This is a boy who only “dates” girls that are not his race (specifically white girls, even though he is not white himself). He is extremely self centered and just plays with girls emotions. Next time you meet a Gates, be prepared to get your feelings played with and begged for nudes. Watch out ladies, he’s a wild one!
Girl: “Omg is that Gates”
Boy: “Yeah. Why?”
Girl: “I don’t know, he just fucking played 5 girls in a day. It’s crazy.”
