indie goth

a kid stuck between the world of INDIE and GOTH , not a poser child like you all will assume, but someone who loves the deepest darkest most "hardcore" music of both worlds.

for those who can't grasp the point: you dress like you're indie, but you dress it all up with a hella lotta black. (And don't forget the music....)

teenage angst might help describe this all

If all these kids are *fake* goth, what's *real* goth? Are they fake because they're young? Because they like bands that more than 3% of the population have heard of? Because they like to wear black?
Is it bad to experiment with styles and music, especially when you're a teenager? Who defines *true* and *fake* anyway?
Kid with Manson tshirt: I like Manson's music.

Adult with Manson tshirt: You're a poser, man. You don't know the true meaning of Manson. I am a true fan because I am over 17. You're a mall goth.

Insta-goth 

Insta-goth is when someone who wears things like jeans and shirts from stores like wal-mart, and other stores of the mainstream likes, and goes into a store like hot topic and come out a completely different person, and completely different in dress. This is also known as Mall goth, but just because you wear things like tripp doesn't always make you a Mall goth, Hot topic isn't a poser store, it just happens that alot of posers tend to shop there.
BOB: dude, that guy just went in there and came out completely different.

Frank:leave him alone, he is probably an Insta-Goth.

Thicc girls that love a flower aesthetic combined with elements of goth culture, but do not wear all black clothing. They are usually concerned with the general welfare of the planet and are open about encouraging others to take better care of it.
Amanda has a white flowery water bottle and flowers on her pencil bag AND wears floral dresses! She must be an eco goth.

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.
