I liked "the stages of goth"
Stage One: Baby Bat, Newbie Goth, Mall Goth, Kinder Goth
They think their so Goth listening to NIN, Marilyn Manson or Slipknot but they look at you with all the intensity of a lost baby kangaroo when you mention Fields of Nephilim, Cruxshadows or Lacrimosa. The males look like either rejects from The Crow or some horrible B-rated vampire movie extra. The females may be harder to pick out with there clothing, however their makeup will seem to be part Krusty the clown, part raccoon and part KISS. Most other goths hate them, yet we all went through this phase. Most goths would rather think that they were born with a lip ring and a black rose clenched in a tiny fist (must have been painful for the mother).
Stage Two: Gothic Goth
Once the BabyBat has found better music labels like Projekt or Fuzion and stopped shopping at Hot Topic (or Cruella) they may now call themselves Goth. However they may not fit in perfectly with more seasoned Goths as they still occasionally hang out with non-goths or in non-goth places.
Stage Three: Uber Goth
They are never seen out of their garb, whether it is at a wedding or a funeral, they are always wearing their trademark outfit. Their makeup skills are at their pinacle. With velvet and silk in everyday life they shun such mundane things as cotton. To be an Uber-Goth, you must have a goth job. There are many jobs out there for goths, 3rd shift at a hospital or morgue, funeral home worker, underground record store or clothing store clerk, graveyard lawnkeeper or any very artsy and useless occupation.
Stage Four: I'm Not Goth Anymore Goth
Once The Uber Goth is jaded enough with the lifestyle and is sickened with the poseur Goths, he will not call himself goth anymore, which makes him even more goth. On occasion these goths will become Ravers (until they realize that scene is just as poseur ridden).
Stage Five: Born Again Goth
Any real Goth can't stand not wearing black and not being moody for very long, so they return to the fold in full force. At this level of Gothdom they are truly above and beyond the other lesser types of goths and will make sure to let them know.
Stage Six: Elder Goth
Either they are really cool, or really sad. They've been in the scene longer than you, they know more than you, and they're not afraid to flaunt they goth muscles at you. However some Elder Goths are old, and not very attractive anymore, although they seem to be oblivious to that fact.

This one is dedicated to Andy the Goth. Here's for you, mate! 
I'm so goth I think Jesus might have been a vampire.
I'm so goth I'm catholic.
I'm so goth nuns and priests resent me because I look cooler in black than them.
Oh, this site is a GOLD mine!

And these ones are great:
I'm so goth I listen to The Sisters of Mercy and Bauhaus simultaneously at midnight in a graveyard sitting in a pentagram surrounded by candles . . . and oh, there's a full moon . . . and then I die. And then I come back to life. And then I die again . . . tragically.
I'm so goth, my dog goes "bauhaus, bauhaus!"
I'm so goth I . . . wear . . . my . . . sunnnnnglasses at night (sung with a Corey Hart pout).
I'm so goth that whenever I walk into a room, you hear "Toccata and fugue in D minor."
(curiosity: in fact, this is the ring of my cell phone... Hmmmmm)

No. It's a Motorola T191. The ring came with the phone along with "Fur Elise" and some other classics.AndyTheGoth wrote:DIdead inside wrote: I'm so goth that whenever I walk into a room, you hear "Toccata and fugue in D minor."

But like it's mentioned above, when it rings it makes quite an impression... It's almost epic.

Another one for you, Andy the Goth mate! 
Goth dwellings
Churches
As walking contradictions, goths have reputation to maintain. Hence, while claiming loud and clear that organized religion is the bane of the world and that God is dead, they incessantly go gaze at icons of the catholic church. Even better, they know by heart most prayers and religious rituals almost as well as the priest himself. How's that for despising the church?
Occult shops
Occult shops are another gothic favorite. Here, the aspiring wiccan can buy a whole lot of clutter to gather dust, as well as ready-made opinions and beliefs about the supernatural. Here, she can learn about the little known secrets of magic, divination and spirit communication through an array of widely spread books printed in hundreds of thousands of copies by a popular publisher, as well as the ingredients for that love potion that will make Johnny Depp fall in love with her ...
Gothic shops
Last but not least, the gothic shops are the obvious place to look to find goths. A lot of them linger in these shops in the hopes of being offered a job as working in one of them considerably ups the status of a goth amongst his peers as would going out with a goth dj. It's also here that most of them come to buy those original clothes that will make them look different. The fact that all of them end up buying the same different clothes is apparently of tertiary importance.
Nightclubs
The ultimate hang out to show off clothes and pick up sextoys, nightclubs also sport the advantage of being open after 9pm. Since all those creatures of the night don't get waken up by their parents until 1pm, they're free to enjoy the company of others of their kind 'til the wee hours of the night. Not that it's what they'll do however. No. Most of them will be much to busy spreading rumors about others of their kind to enjoy the typical exchanging of nods and hand signals which is as far as conversation can go when subjected to deaftning music.
Poetry readings
What better place could there ever be to put your tormented soul on display? Only other "artists" could truly understand the sorrow that fills the heart of the goth poet and of course, what use is there to a tortured heart if no one knows you have it. Here, the goth can make sure that all his gothic companions know that he secretely carries a burden since his rat died...
Graveyards
Of course, the first place to look for someone who claims to have a fascination for death (as most goths do) is graveyards (or cemetaries). I'm still struggling to understand why goths think it makes them creepy to hang out in cemetaries. Apart from dirtying that 400 $ velvet dress, there isn't much to acheive there. Of course, if you can't get into bars and don't want to watch sitcoms with mom and dad, I guess it's a viable alternative for your Saturday nights.

The Ankh is defined as: The symbolic representation of both Physical and Eternal life. It is known as the original cross, which is a powerful symbol that was first created by Africans in Ancient Egypt.
