we got to giggling about "types" of goths and i came up with this list...
anyone have anything to add?
mopey: look for track marks and bandaged wrists...listen for jangling of
anti-depressants in their purses..beware of sudden uncontrolled sobbing,
and blurting out beetlejuice lines like "my life is a dark room...one big,
dark room" (these types are by FAR my favorite *snicker*)
glitter canīt miss it...if you suddenly go blind, youīve found one.
glam one half naked, other half furry.
phychobilly primarily indicated by smell, and a cowboy hat.
corporate actually drives a nice car,hair cuts and colors that are close to
conservative. These tend to hide at the back of the club.
parental balances kids and corsettes/treanchcoats and can quote lion king
and Harry potter. look for the gold stars stuck to thier clothes.
mall indicated by smell, overaccessorization, lack of parental supervision,
obsessed with caffine and cold pills, and proclivity of the secret hand
shake...the five finger discount.
bitter has a "been there, done that" attitude...they are rather confusing,
as they sometimes masquerade as "ubers", but most commonly they are dressed
plainly in black...they whine alot.
romantic frilly shit and long coats...tries to speak with foreign accents
and act like itīs the 1700īs...remember kids, pinkies UP!
cyber watched the matrix too many times...either obcenely tight clothes, or
for "non matrix" types, GIGANTIC glittery pants, goggles, can easily be
tied in with "rave" goths. They have a hard time telling each other
apart
hippie Super frilly as well, braless, and no makeup. Pretends often they
are peasants of some medeval lord (significant other).
net is only goth on the net...usually some wierdo with an uber spooky name
who acts like a regular joe in the real world. Lives vicariously on the
dark side of the net
military fishnets under thier fatigues, military hair cuts with non
military colors. look for the guys that pogo to Bauhaus.
fetish goths with too much money or sewing skills. Look for the quantity of
PVC, bruises, and an over use of chains.
sports A healthy tan, strong limbs, and most likely not wearing any
underwear. Look for surf boards and skis on thier car, or open parachutes
in thier living room.
rengoth different from romantic goth in that they follow the ren faires and
thier black leather is is blacker than black
deathrock 80īs rock star hair or a pro-cuts īdo, bandshirts, jeans, and
likely to headbang if the music gets loud.
vamp Do i really need to describe this one? ok, look for the fake fangs and
the cloak. īnuff said.
kinder check thier ID, it will be from middle school or high school. can
also be any of the other "catagories". this is the pupa state.
artfag Lives for thier art, other peopleīs art, and the idea of art. Look
for the paint splatters, smudges of clay, or sketch book.
loner Dont bother to look for them, that is why they are loners. They will
find you.
gamer look for dice bags, card bags, or nintendo thumb.
uber can only be explained with examples: what is the sound on one hand
flipping you off, its not hair it is a modern art, its not makeup its a
lifestyle. see callei (this is a joke)
raver this is like mixing extacy and opium. but you can spot them sporting
baggy black clothes with glo-necklaces. ____________________

My ex-gf was a "Iīm only goth until Iīm dumped" type...person. I guess it
was due to the fact I dressed differently.
After we broke up, my, sheīs changed. ____________________

Iīm the goth that sneaks up behind you and stares at you until you turn
around then scream. Itīs very effective on family members. Yes, one of
the beautiful people. Actually I probably fall under loner goth since I
have no friends. I like it that way, thereīs only preps around me anyway!

Man, I want a nickname like that *pout*
I was referred to for a short while as the black bitch...does that
count?
All Iīm referred to as is "that black haired lady with the seahorse
tattoo"
itīs a mouthful and not quite as fun  ____________________

| Donīt forget "The Beautiful People" types. They are the ones that everyone
in the (local) scene knows.The local celebs. Characterized by the gaggle of
lesser gothlings in tow.. the feeling that there should be paparazzi around
them. Theese may include known artists or DJs. One of our "Beautiful
People" couples around here are Damon Zex and The Black Witch. (Canīt for
the life of me remember her real name.) Damon has made a few episodes of
this psycadelic cable acess show.Heīs also been on Jerry Springer, Sally
Jesse Raphael and Montel Williams. *shrug* They usually think more of
themselves than they should. But, hell, I dopnīt really know zex.. so I
canīt say much about him. The Black Witch is very nice tho. ____________________

What about those Mansonites? The kids who think that Marilyn Manson is the
god of Goth and (scarily) look exactly like him, with the makeup and the
clothes and everything? Or do those fall under the black flames
category?
Or the Ricerats: People who became goth because they read too much anne
rice... like romantic goths but for different reasons. Tend to be frilly
and overdressed, and either mopey (read: Louis) or psychotic and believing
they are immortal (read: Lestat) You see a lot of those back home in
Nawlins. And a lot of people who hate them...  ____________________

world are fucking birthday parties. Says "man, I hate that busted bitch"
with a big stupid grin and followed by a brainless giggle. ____________________

Ooooh...InstaGoths: Just add alcohol and voilaī Instant Nihilism!!
Wheeee...
The Vengeful Wrath of Goth: Generally highly theologically adept, these
guys are the rebellious teens from zealously religious families, striking
out against their families conformity by delving into all sorts of darker
and scary stuff...generally not the best of people to get in a religious
debate with, because they can be surprisingly intelligent.
The Exploding Goth: Take one goth of any other subspecies, tie him down
and force him to listen to the Hansons for thirteen hours straight. Take
cover under a lead shield.
What strikes me as really funny is that someone actually got a lilī
offended by all this...sheez...
enter the WaytoofrickingseriousGoth: Because...theyīre just too Goth to be
silly. ____________________

Very similar, bunny, but a distinct species all itīs own...sort of like
after the final split in continents and the animals had just started
evolving separately..but they all shared a common ancestor, the "metalhead
goth".
Metalhead goths donīt usually wear flannels...or a coat regardless of
weather. itīs a black heavy metal band shirt and black cargo pants and
combat boots. Shot bead necklace. Usually rather clean, comparatively,
but not as icky as flannel goths. Usually has long hair thatīs ALL long,
not shaved underneath.
A divergence of species is all...
ah, my boy/girlfriend made me goth: nuff said. Will return to normal once
theyīre dumped, then don another persona once they latch onto someone else.
Like a backwards butterfly sort of. Like a booger you canīt flick....

i think these may be a sub catagory of headbanger goths in some cases and
the "iīm goth if it will get me laid" in others.
We also forgot the "my girl/boyfriend made me goth" ____________________
