They are just seeking attention! It is annoying and not fun to look at!!! Notice there are like no older "goths", it is just another annoying faze that teens will go through!!! I cna't wait untill it finally goes out for good! Just my opinion though!!!

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

High School seems more suited to weed out the weak than provide an education. Goths seem to me like they are wearing the pain of their lives on their sleeve. They show that being an outcast is not the end of the world.

Some of my nearest and dearest friends are goths and I actually think they're cool. It's not like all they do is listen to deathmetal and think about killing themselves. They laugh and smile and are happy just like all of us.
At least the goths I know do.. and I know a lot of goths. They're alaround pretty cool people.

Goth's are okay to me.
Not like "Oh my gosh I freaking hate them", but like "Eh, their style is kinda odd but theyre nice".
Some can be nice, and some can just be like EW YOUR A PREP.
I am a prep, but i honestly have no problem with goths.
I do admit, that i am afraid of hot topic, that might be because a rapist works there, and of the headbanging music, but some are very friendly.
I think goth's have something that they dont like about themselfs.
So they choose not to be the happiest they can,

They are just normal people who either think its cool to be goth or are crying out for attention

I'm anticonformity, and i don't mean gothic, goths are trying to be differant when really they are just being like all the other goths around the world. So i'm saying that in some cases goths are ludachris. I'm just myself! I'm not trying to be anything other than that.

Do you see many 40 year old goths?. It is a nitch to fit into when you feel like you don't belong as a teen. I think people avoid them because they are deemed freaks; but it is better to be ignored than be constantly picked on.

I think a lot of the times it is just to get attention but for others maybe they are just attracted to the clothes and makeup. For me I like some of the things but I would never want to wear all that black. Some people I even think just do it to annoy there parents/relatives. I know a few that have done that. Maybe it is similar to the so called addiction people get once they get one tattoo, they just keep going with it and have a hard time stopping.
