Nothic is a combination of the words 'not' and 'gothic' and pretty much have the self-explanitory meaning of someone who is not gothic, but a wannabe or poser. Many people think they are gothic since they buy clothes at Hot Topic, wear black, cut themselves, act depressed, listen to depressing music, and/or anything stereotypical or real of the gothic subculture without actually knowing anything about what it really means to be a part of the gothic subculture.
First of all, Hot Topic sells clothing. Not gothic clothing nor preppy clothing, just clothing. In the early years of Hot Topic, the clothing appealed to many goths, but because of high prices and cheap quality, the real goths quickly turned away. Most true goths create their own clothing. Still, some goths do wear clothing from Hot Topic, but it does not make them goths. Any person who believes they are a goth because they wear clothing from Hot Topic is a poser. I want to be very clear on this.

Poser: Oh my God! You have got to see these new pants I got from Hot Topic! They are so gothic, they're made from cheaply processed cotton that'll fade from black to light gray after the first wash and poorly sewn together seams made by a twelve year old seamstress from Korea, and best of all, they only cost me fifty-five of my hard-earned dollars to purchase them instead of waiting for them to go on clearance sale for half-price in a week!

Get the nothic mug.A person who either had unrestricted access to the internet as a child, or became chronically online later, and experienced significant changes in personality and ability to function as a result.
The constant stream of information for more than ten hours a day, and bearing witness to the worst of humanity on a daily basis, can chip away at the mind until a person turns into something else entirely.
The most common trait is developing ideas, interests, and theories that no healthy human being would ever conceive of, and freely speaking about it like it’s normal.
Their speech patterns may mimic those seen on social media or forums to such an extreme that they cannot be understood in normal conversation. They may become hypersexual, extremely isolated, develop intense mood swings or a vestigial attention span, or adopt a general loathing and distrust toward other human beings. They may even become susceptible to ai psychosis, in which they view an LLM as a sentient being and prefer its company to real people.
Their condition may be reflected in a dramatic change in appearance, lack of hygiene, or squalid living conditions.
Named after a one-eyed gremlin-looking critter from Dungeons and Dragons, which is created when the deity Vecna curses a wizard for obtaining arcane knowledge they weren’t supposed to see. These creatures have been stripped of all their previous power and mental faculties, and even though they look creepy, you can’t help but feel bad for them.

1: Hey, I haven’t talked to Jim in a while, how’s he doing?
2: Don’t bother, guy’s a nothic now. Last time I spoke with him, he went on a manic rant about colorful pills, and a “genetic lottery,” and how he wanted all women to be lobotomized upon sexual maturity so the need for consent would be eliminated.
1: . . . What the fuck??
2: That’s what I was thinking. So I was completely honest with him, told him he sounded like he needed some serious help, like asap, but then he threw a shoe at me and yelled at me to “GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM, PERFORMATIVE SOYCUCK. YOUR SEED WILL NEVER BE SPREAD!” He almost spilled a piss bottle and tripped on his beard doing that. It’s down past his feet now.
1: Oh my god.
2: His roommate isn’t much better. He’s a misanthrope, and not even in, like, the ideological way, he genuinely wants to cause a mass extinction of people. He’s written dozens of whole articles about his fantasies on it, and pinned them all to his wall. He also stopped washing his hair because he thinks there’s “mind-controlling microbes” in the shampoo.
1: Is there anything we can do to help?
2: I’ve already called for a wellness check on them today. I love those guys, and I hope they can get better and lead a happy, healthy life someday, but sometimes you just gotta love people like that from a distance.

Get the Nothic mug.The New Know Nothing Party--As with their predecessors, The Know-Nothing Party (Whig Dissenters), The New Know Nothing Party will make its official debut sometime in 2018. It is currently occupied by the kind of Republicans who fly with two right wings: President Trump's "base."
"The GOP went too far when they let that imposter Trump run on their ticket. The Republican Party as we know it will soon suffer the same fate as the Know-Nothings. The New Know Nothings are upon us.... Abe Lincoln is so dead. Oops."

Get the The New Know Nothings mug.Nothing matters anymore — The obvious nihilistic statement that will ultimately define the Post Truth Trump Era. With a growing ability to use Artificial Intelligence to both creates images and voices, subjective reality will be easily questioned driving further riffs in American culture. We have moved from the “Everybody Gets a Trophy Era” into “The All Opinions are Equal Era”. Gods help us all.
Using “ Nothing matters anymore.” In a sentence:
In the post truth World postulated by both Kellyanne “Alternative Facts” Conway; and, Rudi “Truth Isn’t Truth” Giuliani nothing matters anymore — especially nihilism. And I’m looking at you Fox News.
