The Goth Guide 05: Other Group Names
73Goth Slang Word of the Day
- "Oh the angst of it all!": This is a rather sarcastic sentence, to make fun of those goths who take being to goth too seriously.
Goth Band of the Day
- And Also the Trees [formed in 1979, British]
Though this list is not actually known or widely associated with enough by both music and fashion, these groups are simply an adjective that explains something, then the word "Goth." There are many different types of these goths, ranging from the Panda-goth to the Zipper-goth, each with their own little definition.
Some of these, I have spouted off to my friends, some I have learned via the internet, and the rest, I have been called. Enjoy!
If you happen to come up with one of your own and wish me to show it on this hub, simply send it to me, and I will put your name by the definition and link your hub profile to it. If you are not a hubber, then provide me with a name that you wish people to see for it. Thanks!

LOL I can't stop laughing to this!!! You've definitely made my day!! :D
Challenge : Btw, what terms would you call to Goths who are addicted to Dead Can Dance? :p
yeah, cheers, ill definitely read it.
Ah! Thank you so much dear. That would be interesting to type out one day. I'll certainly put it on my to-do list. ^_^
um, by a hub on gothic lifestyle I mean like how being Goth influences your daily routine and whatever.
I dunno, I just think it'd be cool to read it from your perspective, I like the tone of your writing
I'm glad! I know I would have offended a few people with my previous comment, and I like ya. lol I would have to make YOU made at me.
And thank you! What do you mean specifically when you say lifestyle?
PS. thank you...It's a picture by Lady Symphonia on DeviantArt. I love her art!
Na, I totally get what you mean - to describe something properly you pretty much have to label it anyway.
I like your hubs, I think you should do like a 'gothic lifestyle' hub, because Gothic is something that not many people get, let alone understand the in-and-outs of the daily lifestyles.
p.s Your photo is amazing : )
Yes and no.
I've debated many times about this subject and what I've learned is this: People and others will get a label of some kind at some point. To try and avoid labels is basically impossible. To say that goth is about not creating labels, you are creating an identity to the "label" of goth.
So, either way, no one wins. Labels exist, no matter where you go. I'm not here to really say what a true goth should be about. I'm simply writing what I know and have learned about the goth subculture and what exists within the society.
PS. This isn't a mean reply...lol Some may take it as such, and I hope you don't. I was simply explaining myself. ^_^
Not to criticize, but isn't goth all about 'not creating labels' and whatnot?
Useful hub that is well shared.
