So theese neigbor's moved in by my favorite person in the whole wide world house's, and now I'm not allowed to see my Aunt anymore :K
My overprotective mother says I vcan never go there till they move because there going to kidnap me(when there like 2 years older than me) and lock me up in a closet and scaricife and burn me on an altar...

No, goths won't hurt you. Don't you watch the news, its the seemingly normal people who do the crazy things. As for gothic culture, being goth has nothing to do with what clothes you wear or music you listen to, it is a way of thinking and seeing the world. The clothes that goths wear and the music that goths listen to is just a reflection of that mindset. Goths see that there is extreme pain and evil in the world, along with the good. Instead of condemning it or ignoring it, goths accept these things as a part of life and try and enjoy the good along with the bad, since they can't stop the bad from happening. They are not obsessed with death, they just accept it as an inevitability. They do not try and cause more pain in their (or anybody else's) lives, since there is plenty to start with. Goths tend to be kind, intelligent, non-violent, emotional, and artistic.

Goth is more a lifestyle or outlook on life than anything. They tend to accept that there are bad things as well as good things in life, rather than 'sweep them under the rug', to say, and pretend they don't exist. They can dress however they want, although many prefer darker colors and more dramatic clothes and makeup, and listen to lots of songs and varied genres of music, which can include but are by no means limited to, new wave, darkwave, ethereal, Celtic, goth rock, punk, postpunk, chants, heavy metal, industrial, Latin, et cetera. Not all are interested in vampires - in fact, relatively few are. Many if not most have good relationships with their parents. Very few have mental or psychological problems. Most are actually quite nice, if a bit saturnine. Very, very, very few are 'satanists' or 'devil worsippers'. Most of the young teenagers who listen to Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Slipknot, Korn, My Chemical Romance, Drowning Pool, et cetera and wear heavy thick makeup and studded spike collars and bracelets are called 'Mall goths', shop mostly at Hot Topic, and - this is important - they're not real goths. They just seem to think they are. They act disturbed and surly and try to impress/intimidate people. It seldom works, as most are obviously pathetic, and almost all will (thankfully) grow out of it. If you'd like a comprehensive explanation, try visiting goth.net. Some songs that goths might listen to:
Dragonfly (Conjure one mix) - Cruxshadows
Dazzle - Siouxsie and the Banshees
The Passion of Lovers - Bauhaus
Lucretia My Reflection - Sisters Of Mercy
Lullaby - The Cure
She's Lost Control - Joy Division
In Our Angelhood - The Cocteau Twins
Funeral Night - Bella Morte
Deliverance - The Mission UK
Cemetary Gates - The Smiths
Are 'Friends' Electric? - Tubeway Army
Love Is Stronger than Death - The The
Nowhere Girl - B-Movie
Twilight Of The Mortal - Killing Joke
Seconds - The Human League
Indigo Eyes - Peter Murphy
Right Now - The Creatures
Walk on the Moon - Daniel Ash
No Big Deal - Love and Rockets
Fire Woman - The Cult

The first person who replied is pretty correct.
Your mother probably thinks goths are those kids who listen to really obnoxious metal like Slipknot and HIM and wear baggy pants and chains and claim to be 'satanic'. They're not goth at all though.
Real goth though is essentially a music subculture that came out of punk and post-punk in the late '70s and early '80s. It's evolved to several subgenres though.
And goths as people (and not the type of teens I mentioned above who just wear black for attention) tend to be fairly peaceful and intelligent. Not bad people at all. And while some goths can be depressed, I find many are actually quite happy and are involved in the subculture because of the music and style (like me, for example).

well in some certain "goth" sects, they do sacrafice living beings. only in very rare cases though. but not all "goth" is white makeup and black clothing. the columbine kids were a sect of goth.
some violence does come from "goths". some blame the music, persanally i blame the parents.
so dont discrimante just because of what youve heard, discrimante for your own well being
