What's on your mug?

Alot of people have added what a goth really is, a thoughful caring person, and some other chavs have added some hate mail you find down the bottom of the page... I'll say what i think makes a goth The biggest virtue is of course, selflessness. A goth wont lower themselves to looking at people and saying "chu looking at??" then promptly begin beating them up... well only if they outnumber their prey two to one, thats called a chav people. Secondly, goths are creative thoughful people who have very colourful personalities. Goths don't resort to typing like this: "hey, u kk?" "ye i fine ta", we actually bother to speak proper english. A goth wont also think that they are the most important person in the world or act like cowards, (i.e. chavs). We also dress what makes us happy, we dont care if you say its not "in" we dont care whats "in". You might think at this time im being a bit harsh on the chavs, but next time you watch the news, or a cop show on tv, look at the guy(s) in the stolen nova, or running from a store laden with stuff... someone wearing burberry or some stupid tracksuit. There are very few goths or others very similar that commit serious crimes.

Chav:"What chu looking at?" Goth:"Excuse me?" Chav:"What chu looking at me for?? you wanna make somethin of dis?" Goth:"No, I..." *Goth gets stabbed by chav for no reason*

People who are black everywhere, except their skin.

I am a goth. Most of us think we're depressed, but we probably live in upper to middle class homes and we get to buy clothing with zippers and holes in them for hundreds of dollars, even though most people can make it themselves for much less.

1. A member of a nomadic tribe which inhabited Europe at the time of the fall of the Roman Empire. 2. US vernacular for a faux-punky individual who takes pride in their image ad nauseam and thinks everyone else should have a similar image. Often they have large numbers of friends who look and think just the same and piss on those who are not in their group. They get their clothes from places which sell rubbish at huge prices. Therefore I firmly believe they can be dispensed with, for their image-over-substance led lifestyle is inimical to society. See also prep.

1. "Ahhhh! The Goths are coming!!! Hide!" 2. "Pfft... Shurrup Bradley yer fuckin' gothic!!"

A label people give to themselves to see themselves in a certain way, and/or to hope that other people will see them in this way also. There are many definitions of dress-code and personality types, (some would say that they are really creative and intelligent, others would say that they are people who have experienced more pain than most people) but it's just a label that was invented by ordinary people and for ordinary people, probably out of attention-seeking. Now the word seems to be spoken in two ways: As an insult to people who seem this way, and by people who are this way to describe themselves or maybe friends of theirs.

Example I: -"Hey, there's that stupid goth." -"Yeah, what an asshole. Let's throw stuff at him/her." Example II: -"Oh yeah, I am SUCH a goth." -"Can you define 'goth' for me, then?" -"*Insert one of thousands of definitions here*"
