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. ____________________ Real goths wear silver and crosses to keep the werewolves and vampires

lol... I suppose if I had to fit into one catagory, I suppose Iīd go under
military... I love my fatigue jacket... And my wonderful helmet. I wear
that when gaming, mostly.
But what about the trannys? *winks at Mavdora*
Transvestites, I mean... Or does that go under every catagory? ____________________ Piggy's got the Conch! |

Spooky kids: "real" goths
BLack Flames: trying to hard, white face paint in a manson t-shirt, telling
all the spooky kids trying to hard and not real goths
Blue FLames: no white face paint an occasional manson t-shirt, a bit
towards a raver ____________________ Alot of people have good stories that take place at a lake with friends and

Oh callie, THANK you THANK you! Iīve been wanting to do this for Iīve been
wanting to do this for so long but Iīm drunk and lazy.
I think my ULTIMATE favorite are the mall rat goths...I see them everyday.
On my first day of work one of the girls paid this one particular regular
mallrat $1 to write "retard" on his forehead in permanent black marker
īcause he was supposed to be in school and he wanted to dollar to play DDR
at the arcade...
Also
Punkygoth: Indicated by smell and odd emulsients in their hair, these have
combined the attitudes of ubergoths and punker than you types into one
hypocritical snotty mess. Indicators are plaid pants with bauhaus patches,
and has one morrisey cd hidden in the back of their cd book.

Fishnets under the fatigues huh? Yup yup...that would definately be me.
Lesee...
Darwin Goths: Goths who are simply not goth enough and eventually get
eaten by a Goth subspecies higher up on the Goth Foodchain.
Oxpecker Goths: Whatever those kids are that seem to flock around the
gothiest people they can find without actually ascribing to any similiar
views or styles. Good for removing difficult to reach parasites.
"So Goth Their Dead" Goths: īnuff said.
10/6 Goths: People who can look like any other subspecies of Goth but are
either clinically insane or just pure bonkers...if you donīt get the name,
watch Alice in Wonderland and check out the Mad Hatters hat card.

I thought of a couple! The Iīm-Not-A-Goth and the Am-I-A-Goth?
The Iīm-Not is the person who fits every criteria of a true blue goth, but
denies the name with every iota of their body.
The Am-I is the person who understands what it is to be a goth, identifies
with it, and hesitates to categorically label themselves with the term.
I tend to place myself in the Am-I-A-Goth? category. ____________________ "You can tell by the scars on my arms and the cracks in my hips and the

Boot-goth: They love delicious black boots, and wear black socks to match
the black boots. They wear black pants to match the socks, and black shirts
to match their pants. And then they try to bounce potatoes, and decide to
stick to boots. ____________________ Piggy's got the Conch! |

Cashmere is in the I-am-not-Goth category. And I would like to say publicly
she is very GOTH. So please drop her a private message telling her how Goth
she is, or how you appreciate how openly Goth she can be in public. I love
you Cashmere.. ____________________ The OBOLISK is Divine. |

The *I was Goth before you were born* Goth... one who has been around since
The Beginning... characterized by a cockney accent, lots of leather, and
greying/balding hair
The *wannabe* goth... the one who dresses up and goes to the club because
her friends told her it was *cool* ____________________

Meathead goth:
Has no neck, walks like an ape, is WAY too into bodybuilding, military by
profession, large ego and low self esteem.. Dressed usually in skin tight
black lycra tops with baggy black cargo pants or rave pants *shudder* or
fishnet tops to exhibit their buffness. Swears a lot. Thinks peter steele
is a pussbag and that they could take him in a fight. Listen for Linkin
Park or ICP blaring out of a black honda civic.
"Iīm not goth, but Iīm an expert on it and this is why you arenīt" goth...
:
Big ego, nothing to back it, dresses, acts and tries to "think" goth, but
swears up and down they arenīt but seem to know everything about it and why
everyone else ISNīT what they arenīt...usually everyone hates these
people.
Catty goths: aside from being my favorite website review page on the
internet, these are usually "my black is blacker than YOUR black" types,
but are much more fun īcause theyīre serious. Usually bitter, mid 20īs,
and their mom WARNED them their faces would stick that way if they didnīt
stop, and ignored her. Usually heterosexual women, who sit in trendy gay
bars/clubs and bitch about not being able to find a man. Also found in
large cliques of other catties, who are constantly gibbering gossip about
each other..occasionally a fight breaks out..CAT fight..and then my
friends, the fun begins.
Doomcookie: Often confused with mallrats, these are goths either too young
to hang at the mall unsupervised or, for older ones, have a smidgen more
dignity. Too much makeup, too antisocial for their own good, their life
centers around "freaking people out" and ways to piss off their parents.
Often found in well off suburbs, look for locked bedroom doors with
"caution" tape on it, and accompanied by pot smoke and blaring marilyn
manson music occasionally punctuated by screams of "YOU DONīT UNDERSTAND
ME!!!!!"
