::What is "Goth"?::
"Goth" can be several different types of things. Most "normal" people would probably classify anyone they notice wearing black or dark clothing a lot as "Gothic". (This happened to me somehow.) However, it's more than what a person wears. It's their thoughts and interests.
A so-called "normal" person most likely wouldn't go to a cemetery to think of a good poem or story to write, but many of the people who are considered "Gothic" find the cemetery a quiet, peaceful, beautiful place to collect their thoughts or just a good place to find some time alone.
Not all "Goths" are obsessed with death. However, most accept death as a normal occurrence and choose to be happy with their future fate, however soon or far-off it may be. Others have found that they just like the darker side of life. Still, others just wear black because it looks good on them. Whatever the reason, they're all considered "Gothic" by society.
