it's when you wear all black, whine about how the conformists don't understand you and write shitty poetry and make up for the fact that it's shitty by saying it's 'too deep for people to understand'

I don't put a label(s) on a 'state of mind'.
It's too categorizing. That's why there are so many stereotypes.

gothics are girls and guys that show how badass and depressed they are by spending hours in front of the mirror doing their hair, make up and painting their nails every week... if thats what it takes to be badass i must be the fuckin goddess of bad assedness
also they do a lot of sewing on their clothes
