How To Be Goth

I really hate the goth stereotype because somehow, in some strange way, I fell into the goth label. I'm not sure how. I wear bright clothing, I've got a smile on my face, a joke on my lips, and I love puppies. But I'm a goth.
So what is a goth? Some anti-establishment, darkness-loving, black-wearing, scowling, angry shmuck with too many piercings?

Well according to certain sources, goths are people who like murders, ghosts, vampires, spiders, bats and watching horror movies. Namely, that's what we were doing when my cousin said, in a very loud voice with a look of absolute surprise, "You're a Goth!"

I've known this kid my whole life. I've played psycho-murderer-with-a-claw-hide-n-seek with him. His sister and I had long talks in the hallway about CSI. But it takes some cable tv during a trip to Florida for him to have this sudden epiphany that jeez, his older cousin likes scary stuff.
But then, he likes skate-boarding without a helmet down steep hills. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Or maybe being goth means you're bitter. 'Cause I'm bitter. Most of my friends are bitter. About every so-called goth I know is bitter. That would make most democrats and old people goths too.
So what is a goth? if someone like ME can be a goth, then just what are the parameters for being a goth?
