Goth is difficult to define, as it is different for each individual. Though, as someone already said, not set in stone anywhere, there are still qualities about a person which can define them as being "goth". I don't consider myself goth, personally, but I consider myself something close to one. I think I am more into the cybergoth culture, anyway, with my passion for Industrial music, and the cybergoth look (which I vow to achieve one day).

Let me revise my definition:
"Goth, in its simplest form, is finding beauty where most people fail to see it: in the darker aspects of life". That's a quote I heard from someone here a long time ago that's stuck in my mind ever since I heard it.

Some people feel Goth is about the style, others feel it is about the music, and still others feel it is about the way the person perceives life. There is no right answer, but at the same time, there are many wrong ones.
Not everyone who possesses certain qualities of Goth can rightly be deemed Goth, it really all depends on a few different things, but it's difficult to explain, and more difficult to begin defining.

With me I feel that it's all of the above and more. Style,music,ways of life,literature,views on things,appreciation for the darker things in life. As mentioned before in this same thread and probably in 10 others on this site there is no one defination or catagory for goth but most goths usually tend to have similar likes and dislikes.

WRONG!
Death Metal has nothing to do with Goth.

HAHA! Don't worry, not all larvae make it to the pupal stage. It'll croak and leave your name unique again. (ties a bib around own neck, grabs fork and knife and turns around)

Idiot, its more of a personality thing and showing an interest in dark and morbid things than a fashion statement. If "goth" was about what you looked like and what you wore than it wouldn't be unique and anyone could be a goth.

I actually never really called myself a "goth", I just found that "goth" defines my view on life, death, love & all the other stuff involved better. Its about seeing beauty where no one else does.

That question automatically deducts 10 points from your 'gothiness'
In my op, What is "who gives a fuck" is the correct answer.

What makes me goth? My diirk personality. JUST KIDDING!
Nah, it's the music I listen to and the clothes I wear. Also, my attraction to the macabre?

In MY opinion:
Goth - an interest in or attraction to the macabre. Not blood and gore, but dark and more intellectual material. Appearance, clothing, musical taste and taste in literature would come after realising that attraction. ^_^

No matter what, most people end up being judged on their looks.

Judging by appearance is good if people are adept in it.
Associating by appearance is the sin.

Yes that's what I meant, you used a better word for it
Seems like the only thing others need in order to define you is your overall style
And here we all preach it's what's inside that counts

A good analogy to this is a book. I have always hated the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover."
We all judge a book by its cover if we know nothing about it. We look at it. If it interest us, we read the prologue to know a little more. But it's only until we read it that we can understand it fully.
The only way you reached this level of understanding is because the book had a physical je ne sais quoi that attracted your attention.
