baby-goth
The gothic subculture, as much of the subcultures, has a more mainstream version of its collective which resides close to the actual subculture, and by mainstream is often mistaken for its father-category, but is often scorned by goths themselves as being a more style-over-substance collective.
Named because it is generally comprised of teenagers, a younger large audience than the gothic culture itself, the members of the baby-goth group often wear makeup and black clothes as goths do, but are much more attracted to anti-christian and satanic elements, excessive eye-liner, black lipstick, trench-coats, and band t-shirts.
Music is a major influence of the culture, lead by artists such as Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Korn, and other teen-angst based bands of which image plays a main part, as an exaggerated and more vulgar interpretation of the gothic imagery.
