What's on your mug?

contrary to normal belief goth is a clothing. goth and gothic are different. to be goth is to wear the clothes, but they are perfectly normal people if approached in the correct way. the only reason that goth people have a standoffish attitude is because they are treated like aliens not people. not all goth kids cut themselves and they dont always like dark poetry. they see the world in ways how it could be better goths appreciate the nicer happier side of life. when they are around people that they feel comfortable with, they talk tell jokes and laugh. most people judge others by the way that they dress not by who they are.

kid1: look at that gothic freak over there. kid2: dont say thoses things about my friend. hes really nice, you just need to give him respect. he'll respect you in turn.

By chinchillas and goths can be friends

Firstly,Goths dont hate everyone dont want to kill everyone dont want to kill thenselves dont live life like dead arent always sad dont wear black all the time are normally just like u!

most people class marilyn manson as a goth! but in his concerts he smiles. he doesnt wear black all the time. he doesnt kill people and if he wanted to kill himself them he'll be dead. everyone is unique! wear what they like, listen to what they like, act like whatever they want! so i really dont think people should be labeled by the way they are! Were all unique

someone who dresses in the gothic fashion to step away from society. they usally listen to the music they like(wether it be nu-metal, deathrock, darkwave,electronica,classic rock, hardcore rap, or industrial) and don't mind most peoples opinions. these are things that real goths sometimes have that doesnt make them a poser. Depression- so a goth cant be depressed because hes goth? angst-some people are naturally angry hate-wtf? mutilation- some people are sad. not all goths live middle class satanism/vampirism- yes! some real goths are satanist!! but if all of the above apply, you have a poser at hand also its ok to be goth and listen to whatever the hell you feel like

goth 1:hi goth 2:wazzup? goth 1:did you get that new cd? goth 2:yea. its cool i guess poser: i got it and i listened to it while sucking my own blood from a cut i made out of my hate and depression. im just like you!!! Goth 1:no your just wierd(in head: poser!!!)

Someone who listens to Goth music, such as darkwave/coldwave/deathrock. If you don't listen to any goth music, you're not goth, no matter how many black clothes you have and how many Edgar Allan Poe books you've read. Plain and simple.

Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and the Banshees, (not always but) The Cure and Bauhaus are the most widely known goth music bands.
