This post got me thinking...what inspired the tag 'goth' in the first place? After all, Goths are pretty far removed from the tribal people to whom the term was first applied. Anyway I was going to ask here, but for once found what I was after on wiki. It's interesting how the meaning of the term has gradually evolved. It seems similar to 'barbarian' inasmuch as it has been used throughout history to describe all things unsavory on the border of society. I also find it interesting that 'barbarian' has no strong contemporary interpretation - apart from mum's description of my flat after a night on the piss

Here's the article link [en.wikipedia.org]

O-kayyyy. I guess, everybody has their own opinion about who or what goth is.

Coming from a goth.

Basically, goth is, like somebody above said, a state of mind. A state of mind where you're so sick of everything and everyone around you, that you start hating it.

We hate people pointing fingers at us, asking us if we've come to a funeral wherever we go, just because we wear black. Im just speaking my mind out.

But you see, goths arent born. They're evolved. They've got broken hearts and broken homes. And no, we don't give a s**t if you like our brand of music, because we love it. And We're gonna be ourselves till eternity. We dont get affected by people telling us to f**k off because they hate what we're wearing, or if we've got too much eyeliner on. We get pissed, yes, but that just makes us hate more. We're anti-establishment. But we're that for a reason. Authority has f**ked our brains up. We dont cry all the time, contrary to popular belief and yes, we hate people who pose to be goth.

That's what i have to say. Contradict me. I dont really care.

This is my first post here. I tried to make it sound as friendly as i could. So Hi!

Can someone out there be sensible enough to explain to me what YOU think "goth" is defined as? Future reference, it all started with beatnick clubs.



Goth is defined as 'Awesome People' or 'Awesome' for short
