Define 'goth'
 

is there a true definition of goth?

1 capitalized : a member of a Germanic people that in ancient times dwelt between the Elbe and the Vistula and in the early centuries of the Christian era overran the Roman Empire — see OSTROGOTH, VISIGOTH
2 capitalized : a native of the Swedish provinces of Gotland and Vestergotland
3 : a person totally lacking in culture or refinement : BARBARIAN

goth:
: 1. A style of rock music that often evokes bleak, lugubrious imagery.
2. A performer or follower of this style of music.

So anyway, anyone who does not require dictionary.com for all their intelligence.

No offence intended but there are many definitions on there, none of them solid definitions.

Goth? Uh... Hmm. Good question.

some people know goth as a time period, some as a style. i prefer to think of it as a state of mind. ok. thats i start. ill get back to you when i figure out exactly how to put this into words.

Goth Hunting its funny,

That goth style movie that came out, Underworld, is awesomely supprising. Plus the chick is damn hot! Hot gothic chicks are hotter than hot non gothic chicks in my opinion.

Some people would refer Goth, goth's as people who dress in black...yada yada..., where that came from I don't know.
But i'm pretty sure Goth was the name of something to do with ancient Germany buildings and somehow it changed over the years due to trends.:rolleyes:

"Goth" is "golf" said with a lisp.

lol...

The gothic way of life is based on popular horror stories such as Stoker's Dracula. Tis a lifestyle based on the thrill of visiting a graveyard by night, which makes horror movies popular. So a goth is to dress in black like Dracula, show interest in pagan rituals like witches and be fascinated with piercing spears through maidens like elizabeth bathory.

Goths dissolve when exposed to sunlight, although excessive amounts of makeup and black lace are known to counteract this. They are mainly to be found on university campuses, but outbreaks can occur almost anywhere, especially where there is a lack of cheerful music. Goths are considered to be mostly harmless, until they grow up to become social workers, when they should be avoided at all costs.

Bunch of middle-class brats, who don't know how to rebel...can't stand feckin' goths.

what makes you think so?
