A person who loves things such as black make up and black clothing, but has hidden it for a long time. Once they come out of their shell and become a normal goth, they are looked upon and are known as posers instead of themselves. They can be any type of goth too.

They are normally very understanding, but many people are thrown off by their change or actual look so they never get close enough to be their friend and they normally are mean to them instead of trying to talk to them.

Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed

When you're wearing all black and a trucker come up and asks you if you're a soft goth.
