I’m once again begging chuds on the internet to learn what a goth is.

It’s only goth if they’re Germanic people from a former Roman province, otherwise it’s just sparkling depression.

Not a chud but… I’d like to hear the explanation anyway. What’s a goth?

More like this, though technically goth is firstly a music based subculture so if you wanted to you could wear cargo shorts and polo and call yourself a goth if you listen to goth bands, but goth fashion has become it’s own thing and is usually what people refer to when they call someone goth.
And goth fashion is very Victorian influenced with dark and accoult theming and lots of corsets, lace and frills white or often white or very pale foundation with rather extreme black eye makeup and or lipstick and certain hairstyles like the bats nest.
Honestly it’s a bit hard to put into definitive words and it’s mostly a general vibe you get from them, but if you grow up in alternative social circles you are able to tell different sub culture fashion apart even if you can’t explain it precisely.
