Anyone who tries to act "gothic," but isn't really gothic in nature.
Includes people who try to wear "gothic" clothing, get numerous piercings, or talk obsessively about darkness, death, and destruction, in order to either be cool, get attention, or be seen as dark and mysterious.
This does not apply to people who wear "gothic" clothing just because they like it, or people who really are goths. Psuedo goths are merely people who are posing as something they aren't.
The phrase also could be extended to those elements of popular culture that emulate the "goth" style or theme but are nonetheless mainstream in their making.
This could furthermore be extended to apply to some bands, but not nessecarily the ones listed in previous entries for this word.

Get the pseudo goth mug.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.

Get the pseudo goth mug.Those who pretend to be gothic just to be "different" from the "conformist" world. Usually just some kids that can't get friends anyway so they just decided to dress in all black so that they can have an excuse to be "differnt". Also usually shops exclusively at Hot Topic because they think that thats goth, when in fact they're actually aiding "the system" they so, seemingly, despise. Most kids like this usually sport the classic "emo swoop".
Psuedo Goth kid: i have no friends
kid 2: man you don't even have angst, that's how lame you are
Psuedo Goths kid: you're just mad because i'm different than you
kid 2: dude, you aren't different, thousand of people have bought that same pair of girl pants so just STFU and follow your own tune in life instead of following the crowd
Psuedo Goth kid: ....*weeps* i'm still goth *weeps*
kid 2: moron
kid 2: man you don't even have angst, that's how lame you are
Psuedo Goths kid: you're just mad because i'm different than you
