Goth

Germanic tribe that invaded provinces of the crumbling Roman Empire. Influenced much architecture around Europe, as well as clothing, such as monks' robes, undertakers' dress etc. Now a tag given to followers of alternative music such as Dimmu Borgir and Opeth, or sometimes to the fools that like Limp Bizkit and Good Charlotte. In St Helens, often called "greggors", "geggers", "goffers" or "smelly, sweaty goffs". Usually intelligent, creative people, who are prepared to work for their future, are not scared to stand out, and do not have sex with their mothers.

"Look at that gothic architecture."
"Eugh! Goffs?!? Where? Fuckin' smelly Goff!"

Indie goth

A preteen/teen (age between 11-16), who is both indie and goth. They will dress indie (in their own independant style), and probably have indie hair too. But their style will be darker than most indie kids. They will usually listen to:

Indie, alternative, rock, metal, alternative metal, screamo, gothic rock etc...

Most indie's, goth's and indie goth's are VERY against emo's/scene's. This is understandable because emo's/scene's "stole" indie style and turned it black. E.g.:

-> Converse
-> Black skinny jeans
-> Band tees

Plus, their used to be loads of good screamo bands, that felt the need to go emo to make money.

So NOT to confused with emo. They listen to indie and metal. Nothing wrong with that. As an indie/goth myself, I get along with indie/goth's, and just indie's and just goth's.

But if there's one thing none of us can stand, it's emo's/scene's.

Personality:

Most people believe indie kids are cocky, but actually most of us are just people who don't really care about much except music. Same with goths mostly. People expect goths to just NEVER talk, and be depressed, but they actually talk a lot and are generally happy people who have a negative attitude on the world, but are still happy.

So indie goth's are people who don't really care about much except music, who take a negative attitude on the world but are happy and independant.

Prep boy: OMG look at the emo wearing converse!
Indie goth boy: Hey! Converse aren't even emo, they stole it off us.

gothic is not wearing black, or painting your nails black, gothic is not shopping at hot topic, gothic is not listening to good charlotte or other rock or metal, gothic was a time era or language....

gothicness

Used to describe how gothic one is. Can also be used to describe the aura of Goth, much like 'The Force'

I am at one with my ultimate Gothicness. I can use the Gothicness around me to make others depressed.

Goth

i just have to say this- most of the labels and definitions used here by "goths" defending their lifestyles and feelings are ludacris. how can you claim to be so enlightened about life and other people's ideas when you yourselevs are labeling everyone who isn't a "goth" a "jock" or "nerd" or whatever else. just because someone doesn't dress in a "non-conformist" doesn't mean that they aren't enlightened or intelligent or self-actualized. it may just mean that they find those clothes comfortable, or like the way they look. you all claim to be so enlightened and individual, but you seem very quick to attack and condemn everyone who doesn't rebel in a shallow way (clothes, hair etc.). before you attack the rest of the world for putting labels on you, look at the labels you place on them.

that "goth" just called me a "jock." hmmmmmm

Pseudo-goth

A pseudo-goth, (also known as a poser or poseur) is widely understood to be the most vile and detestable fascimile culture yet known to mankind. Pseudo-goths take the originality and artistry of goth culture and turn it into something to be feared. These are emos, who claim to be gothic and slit their wrists; preps, who put on the clothing because they are put under the impression that the clothes make them cool; and nerds, who are often thought of more as cyberpunk (which is legitimate). Hey! Can you blame us for trying to be intimidating? I got my ass kicked as a kid for being intelligent. Wanting others to ph33r you is natural. ;-)

1> Dude, that pseudo-goth is threatening to kill himself. Shouldn't we do something?

2> Ah, him again? No. This is the third time this week. I wish he /would/ throw himself out in front of a bus and save us from his whining.
