now: a growing middle/high school clique that has taken in many loner teens. they usually listen to bad music, but most are pretty cool people. they dont really do anything bad now, they just are being themselves. they seem alright to me, except for the scary ones.
"goths" can be pretty cool people, except the like real frightening ones.

ok, after reading your definitions, im amazed people actualy post here. alot of people have it right, but noone is rong. musicaly, goth is nolonger aroung, spiritualy, goth is dying fashion wise, goth is being replaced, for the people who label themselves goth, get a grip, for the people who are labled goth, be proud people see you as yourself. after reading them all, all ive found, is that stereotypes of goth are wrong, and so are most of the defenitions. goth is a culture, a way of life, and a way through for some of us. i am 13, and ive been labled for over 4 years, i couldnt care, if they want to call me goth, let them, all i know is that if they label you, they are making thwemselces no better than that which they are mocking.
them: hes one of those goths who try to kill themselves me: whatever them: gay boy me: im not gay, alough i know alot of people who are. them: what is with him, thinking is all hrd, because he slits his wrists me: i dont slit my wrists, i write poetry to unwind, i slit myself to realise that things could be worse, and i hate people like you because they need to take the mick out of us sor a few cheap laughs, when it would be much easier to go out and get a fewdecent friends, and have a decent life, than ruining it just to be popular

a goth is someone who would hate to be thought of as someone "like them." "Them" being both Trendies and Townies. they dress the way they do as a statement to the general public so they will not mistake their inclinations. most goths think that nu-metal is the scourge of modern society and think that the world might just be bearable if there were no townies,Trendies,preppies, jocks, murderers or hatemongerers.
"Goth is a state of mind...meaning everyone you dont hate."

Ancient 3rd and 4th Century Germanic people that invaded the Roman Empire; aiding in its fall, a style of architecture, music, art, fashion, and literature that has been degraded to (mostly, not all) selfless, ignorant teenagers that can't cope with life, and find that dressing in black, wearing black make-up, listening to heavy metal, and cutting themselves is the answer to their 'horrible life.' For some of them, they're just pessimistic.. but atleast some of they actually have a sense of grammar, and.. some sorts of intelligence.
Kiddies out there with abusive parents, who are 'goth', don't cut yourself. There's something called.. police.

(adjective) Once whom is a "goth" is off-set onto many different definitions. Stereotype goths, such as the people whom work at and/or shop at Hot Topic, are the standard of what one what think as a goth. Your stereotypical goth usually consists of.... -Listening to Heavy Metal -Wears a LOT of chains/spikes -Dresses in all black -Hate anything colorful -Write (not very good) poetry -Idolizes "Jack" from The Nightmare Before Christmas -Do numerous drugs Not all goths are like this, but many goths hate to socialize outside of their sub-society. Not all goths are miserable. But those whom do may not know why.And some goths only use their label as an excuse to use the Goth fashion. In all, there are just as many good things about goths as there are bad things.
Not all Goths are bad people. But some goths are just there to make us REAL miserable people look bad.
