More of an image than a lifestyle.
Primarily concerned with appearance and aesthetics. very vain and sometimes sensative.
Their music is their lifestyle.
It's all about the music
Damn, that gothic chick looks tempting.
I'd like to feast on that flesh!

In a modern sense, refers to the culture primarily of teenagers that most directly opposes the pop culture, but also very much resembles it. Can be identified by teenagers whining about how nobody knows what it actually means to be goth, how goths are different than everybody else, and how they wear black but not because they worship the devil. Also indicative of a teenager or group of teenagers who is 'enlightened' or knows 'the truth,' which said group never actually elaborates upon.

More simply, a teenage culture designed to bring association to those who would otherwise have been shunned by popular culture. Also designed to attract attention and misunderstanding by those outside the culture, generating a false sense of infathomable superiority to the general 'unenlightened' public. Goths embrace philosophy, but only in the sense that a philosophy exist.
> Wow, I love ashton kutcher and lance bass.
> Inferior. You don't understand the black, bloody truth of the cosmos to which I have been plainly exposed. You should love Kurt Cobain and Trent Reznor instead.

a person with a particular lifestyle preference relating to nocturnal, dark. and occasionally satanic subjects, who express it through their fashion. Not to be mistaken for an emo kid who has black hair and a black tshirt on.
The Goths baa'd like sheep, from the herd 3 feet over.

A barbarian.

An uncivilized person.

A style of architecture used in Western Europe from the 12th to the 15th centuries.

A genre of music.

The language of ancient Goths.

Not a fucking pussy ass moron following the teenage trend of "Gothic" who dresses in all black, pretends to be all gloom and never smiles, only likes music like everyone else "Gothic" likes, and pretends to have a horrible life.
Moron "Goth": I slit my wrists last night because I hate my life and my life sucks and I want to die.
Person: Grow up and get over following trends and labelling yourself and using those pathetic stereotypes. Imbecile.

(n) A group of people who feel comfortable within each others company. There is no specific thing that defines what you need to do or be to fit into the goth scene (except of course the implied black clothing). People in the goth scene all have different musical tastes, follow different religions, have different occupations, hobbies, and fashion sense.
I.E ANNALEIGH!

Describes kids/teens who dress mostly in black and hang out with each other. They like Slipknot and dislike the rest of society.

Before someone whines: this is the stereotype, which is exactly what anyone who didn't already know 'gothic' would want to know. What's up with this art / architecture crap? If someone wants to know the proper definition of 'gothic,' dictionary.com and wikipedia are a click away. This is Urban Dictionary - for pop culture, slang, and stereotypes.
Look at those clothes! They are so creepy and gothic.
