Gothic

1) A style of architecture in the 20th century.

2) A tribe, also called Gaulโ€™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.

Hey did you see that guy sitting outside of Hot Topic? He was all like, 'I'm so Gothic, because just look at me! I have pants with chains on them!' He was such a mall Goth.

Gothic

Of or referring to tribal goths of iron age eastern europe and western asia. I.e. Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Gutans, Gota, Gotas, etc. etc.
A form of architecture, not agriculture, typified by flying butresses to support high vaulted ceilings. A light open Nave surrounded by large stained glass windows to allow light in. The main impression intended to be "God is bigger than you."
A trendy subculture of emotional teens. Typified by wearing black and red, listening to Industrial rock(Which is fine), complaining about everyone else conforming... ahem, and appropriating the wrong fucking term for themselves!!!

That roving band of barbarians must've been gothic.
Notre Dame(Our lady) is a gothic cathedral.
Denny's after midnight is overrun by roving bands of Goths.

Gothic

i think people on this definition are mistaking gothic with alternative, a movement which took place in the 1990's.

gothic really isn't about individuality, that is more of a side effect.

PS: Justin Timberlake? Come on, you folks spend WAY too much time thinking about boy bands.

Rejection of conventional rules which originated from victorian social dogma, not the acceptance of diversity.

Gothic

They are scary looking teenagers who hangout around Malls and Laser Tag joints and other places mothers of tweens and elementary school children frequent. They wear black and have pale skin. Many have tattoos, severe make-up, weird jewelry and such and while I am pretty sure they are probably not actually dangerous and maybe they just want to look nonconforming, they all look a like to me, my basic instinct is to protect my children from them where ever they are or might hang.

On the way to drop off 5 boys ages 10-12 so my cousin and I could go next door to shop at Walmart, Anna said; "Hey boys, let's go to the other laser tag joint instead, OK? Last time the place was full of these Gothic teenagers and we can't stay to supervise you."
