goths, in a word, fake. They pretend to try and be different from everyone, saying that everyone else is just a clone. However, all of them dress similar, (black clothing, spikes, died hair) and act similar. So, they are in fact, they themselves clones. They pretend like nobody likes them and they have no friends, but it is only because they dress strangley and are reclusive that it is that way. They bring everything upon themselves.
Additionally, they have no idea what they want in life. They wish not be noticed by everyone else in their school yet they dress differently and can be easily picked out of a crowd...kind of counter productive eh. If they knew what they wanted, they would not be different and weird, rather they would be like everyone else. They are hipocritical as they think that normal society is composed of people who act and look the same, while all they do is dress, act, and think the same way...so who, in reality, are the clones.
Tom: hey you wanna buy a collared shirt
Jeff:no way, everyone has one
Tom: alright, lets go dress like the freaks in the corner and wear all black
Jeff: YEAH

It has been said that the only thing worst than a conformist is the one who conforms to nonconformist standards. In essence, that is what has become of the goth subculture. Originally a sharp reaction to preps and jocks, the goth standard has melted down into a standard that cannot be deviated from. Modern day goths follow the same routine and habits: They listen to metal and death metal music, such as Slipknot and Led Zeppelin; they dress in nothing but black; they wear clothing from the unusual (fishnet) to the bizzare (high-top black leather boots); they have many piercings on their body, including (but not limited to) the eyebrows, tongue, belly-button, and lips; they shop at Hot Topic; they describe themselves as 'twisted' or 'dark'. There are more examples I can think of, but by now, you should have a clear mental picture of what a goth is. We all know a goth; (s)he sticks out like a sore thumb. The goth subculture is burning itself up, because it was originally a reaction to conformism. Now, it has simply creatly a new standard to conform to.
There goes that goth chick, with her leather outfit and mowhawk hair dyed green.

labels are convenient, yes, but goths have different styles too.
..gothic lolita-basically trying to look like china doll. theyre cute and they carry around toys, pretty nice lot of people, a lot of them have pink in their hair and whatnot, their hair being in pigtails or braids, etc.
..elegant gothic lolita-they look like people who lived in upper class england in the 1700s ish. top hats, tailcoats,ictorian dresses, lace, black clothing, with other colours on the dark side, i.e purple, dark green, blood red
..happy goth (mostly in japan)- they wear tonnes and tonnes of accessories, and the ultimate goal is to blind you iwth bright, happy colours.its adorable and they do in fact wear pink. quite alot of it. they wear black too, but mainly colours. all over. ( red, yellow, red, light blue, pink, etc)
goths most other places are supposed to be depressed gay rebels, which is not true, of course. trust me, go round asking 'those who are normal' if what they wear makes them happy and theyll say no. its just what they wear. it doesnt express much but for that this guy or that is man enough to wear pink. good for him.
it does hold true that most goths have dyed hair, wear black, and are a little unhappy.but its also true that even though you might be scared of a goth, theyre the nicest group of people youll ever meet if you stop insulting them. theyre pretty smart, leaning toward the artistic side and might be slightly obsessed with music. which by the way does have to be death metal. goths also like bands like the postal service and belle and sebastian.
go to google and look up harajuku or harajuku fashion lo and behold, different styles of goth! or just look up gothic lolita, elegant gothic lolita, etc. great fun, i assure you.

Qualities of goth people include: Wearing a lot of black, thinking about dark things, such as death, and trying thier best to scare the shit out of preps. They are generally pretty cool people, even if I'm more into emo. They tend to like music like death metal, and experiment with crazy hair styles which may or may not look good.
Goth person: Look at me, I am wearing black clothing and am thinking about death.

word used to describe losers who like to say that they are going to kill themselves and then do not follow through with it. Typically a spoiled kid whos parents let them do anything. This group of people says that they like to "be different" and be an "indiviual", but fail to relize that they are just putting themselves into another group for other people to make fun of them in.
"im so goth i shit bats"
gothy: im cut myself

gothy: my wrists

People who express their individuality and dislike of societies conventions by, ironically, rebelling in the same way. They conform to a gothic convention of wearing black clothes, black makeup and having an even blacker outlook on life. These conventions are often enforced by a group mentality even stronger than the one they claim to oppose. Also an old tribe from Europe - but that is lost on many who call themselves goth because listening in ancient history class is definately not cool for a goth
Newbie Goth: Can I be a goth and wear colorful clothes?
Elder Goth: No!!! Only weird black clothes are allowed to express your individuality!
Newbie Goth: I dont get it?
