Gothic

1) A style of architecture in the 20th century. 2) A tribe, also called Gaul’s, who sacked the Roman Empire, causing the dark ages and medieval times. 2) A subculture who likes the darker side of things, but not really evil. Gothic music has many different genres, there is screamo and death metal sounding gothic music, there's peaceful gothic music, there is a mix of classical instruments and modern rock instruments, and much more. Classic gothic clothing is usually chains and black clothes. Goths are stereotyped to only wear black, but that is not true. Usually a gothic person likes more than black, like gray, red, blue, or purple for example. Stereotypes: All Goths only like black. All Goths are satanic. All Goths are evil. All Goths are miserable. All Goths like blood. All Goths like vampires. Goths never laugh. Goths cut themselves. Goths are depressed. Goths are ignorant teenagers who just want attention. These are the truths: Goths who shop at Hot Topic or other stores like that are posers, see Mall Goth. Goths are usually nice and happy, but not all the time. Some of them just have a darker character, which doesn't make them evil. Goths are usually peaceful; they almost never settle things by fighting. Goths do not cut themselves. See emotionally distressed. (NOTE: Emos do not cut themselves either, but emotionally distressed people do.) Not all Goths view Marilyn Manson, as the 'King of Goth.' Marilyn Manson is not Gothic, he is just a crazy guy who sings metal. He is one of the people who gives Goths a bad name. Goths are random individuals who happen to like the same things.
