A word created by the combination of two other words, "gothic" and "retard". The "gothic" style can be researched elsewhere, as can the term "retard". "Gothtard" is a derogatory word or insult. It implies that a person is a idiotic / insipid / stupid / moronic person who portrays a "gothic" personal style. The term can be applied to both poser-goths and actual goths, though it is more commonly used to insult the poser types by both the goths and non-goths alike. Many people (especially old-school goths) refer to todays "emo" movement as a plague of misdirected, ill-informed, depressed, poser "gothtards" since the "emo" movement attempts to derive several style elements from the gothic style such as facial piercings, raven black hair, a wardrobe dominated by black, and refrain from "average" society. However, it idiotically neglects many "key" gothic features. These two movements are distinct, and should not be confused.
