goth

goth: Sans history lesson, goths fall into two categories: 1. People, usually quiet misfits, who are often quite intelligent and creative. They tend to focus on the darker side of life, particularly human nature. 2. more common High school/college students who, by dressing in black and listening to heavy metal, attempt to make sure everyone around them is aware of how cool and individualistic they are. That their individualism centers on dressing, thinking, and acting like everyone else in the clique doesn't seem to bother them. Can often be found writing bad psuedo-suicidal poetry in wirebound notebooks. They usually drop the facade as soon as they realize that no one around them, including their parents, is shocked any more. 1. "Hey, see the goth over there? Go ask to see her artwork. It's really cool." 2. "Ohmigod, did you, like, read the new Anne Rice book? I am, like, so glad I'm a goth!"
