Goth is a lifestyle which is much stereotyped by many teens who are posers, the lot. It is a style of living that entails being dark, romantic, poetic, artistic, mysterious, calm, sometimes sad, stuff.

Generally people who like the darker side of life. Outcasts by choice, they listen to underground music because they dislike the mainstream and being a sheep to society. In most cases goths are very smart and artistic and have a sense of humor that can take a while to get used to (unless your a goth). Their humor is about just about everything from themselves to others, and it is intelligent humor. Goths aren't like the average and that's why their goths and contrary to popular belief, they are not all suicidal. In fact few are suicidal, just dark. Goths may come across as scary but are quite nice people. Becoming goth can be provoked by certain things in life that turn people into introverts, but they are still nice people. Being goth is about being different and out of the ordinary.
Prep: Look at that faggot goth in his weird clothes Goth: Look at that mainstream prep, cant find his own style so he wears what everyone else does. HAHA, he thinks hes cool

It's not about the just clothing. It's also not just about the music.
Non-Goth: You listen to Bullet For My Valentine. How can you be goth? Goth: Simple. It's not about the just clothing or the music.

the original goths of the 1700's took their look out of gothic novels, which focused on the darker side of human nature and were heavily infused with romance. femme fatales and vampires are the grandparents of modern goth. dark eyes, lips and hair are mixed with dark, usually black clothing, and plenty of romantic floaty, ruffly skirts and sleeves. today's goth is purely fake and way too focused on death.
real goths wear all black and maybe some deep red they are not obsessed with death and suicide they see the real flaws in life they are big romatics

the people who stand out and have their own styles and are usually rejected out of society. goths are not freaks, suicidle, or scary they are REAL people. most are not posers. although i know this i do not know weather they give a shit about their label or not. i personally think labels are stupid and immature.
Prep: Oh my god what a freak. Shes like a goth. Prep 2: She looks scary lets leave. She might pull a knife on us or something.
