Goths are sort of like mimes with long hair and trenchcoats. Neat.

Goths tend to be rather pacifistic, so to associate all Goths with violence because some of them are into heavy metal music is illogical. It makes just as much sense to reason like this: some nuns like soccer; violence sometimes occurs at soccer matches; therefore, nuns tend to be violent.

Ask ten goths what 'goth' means, and you'll get eleven different answers.

...we, the goths, do know how death, depression, despair, grief, misery and sorrow feels.

Oh goodie, goth mimes. The best of both worlds. They pretend they're trapped in a box and then whine about how cruel and unfair it is.

Goths don't identify with evil, we mourn the evil in society. The fascination with death is basically a reminder to us of our own mortality. For these reasons, we wear black.
