Perky GothsThere are all kinds of goths from all walks of life. A well known phrase is the perky goth, the insanely happy and bouncy goth who revels in every aspect of life no matter if it's bad or good. I am a perky goth, I love nothing less than experience of anything, the more the better.

Perky Goths are to be found clubbing, having picnics, avoiding relationships with mopey goths and being sociable amongst others, whilst the mopey goths sit on IRC being mopey, or sit in bars being mopey. Most the goths I know are perky goths, in fact I could only name two or three mopey ones - but perhaps that reflects the clubs I go to. Wheeeeeee!

 
Cyber GothsA mixture of black, bright colors and glowing alien designs and tatoos make a cyber goth! A breed of perky goth, Cyber Goths can be found clubbing. Listen to trance, hard techno, industrial, ebm. Computers and gadgets. Glow in the dark goths. Dance dance dance, bounce bounce bounce!
 
Trad GothsTraditional goths... listen to punk and guitar based goth music, 80s music. Frilly clothes, big big hair. Frequently these ones complain about all the bleepy bloopy music that the cyber gothes listen to! Medieval re-enactment, educated in the classics (latin, history, art). Trad Goths are diminishing in numbers.
