Oh My Goth! It’s Every Type of Gothic Style Explained (Ok, Not EVERY Type but It’s a Lot!)

Heads up: We are not Goth experts, just big fans! We realize how deep and diverse the gothic culture and subculture go and we do not pretend to know everything about it. Personally, we have always been silent observers, admiring them from afar but never mustering the courage to go and hang out with them. After all, what can us nerds and geeks offer such exquisite creatures of the dark? No, we just sat in our chess club, staring through the window at the goth kids being cooler than everyone else and dreaming of the day some goth girl would take us in and teach us her dark ways.

Anyway, we found this guide to "every" type of goth there is, and we just had to share. It's so much more than just mall goths and Victorian goths. I mean, look at those cybergoths! They look so cool! It makes me feel like a nerd in school again!
