People hate goths because goths are poseurs. They wear an image instead of their true selves, and more of what they do is for shock value than for pure aesthetics or preference. Find me a goth who is not absorbed in his appearance and you will have a person who doesn't care if he is called goth at all.

That is true of a lot of the younger crowd....because they listen to what the media says is goth. Hence the whole Marilyn Manson worshipping train wreck. If the media says that being goth is about being angry and shopping at Hot Topic then that's what they will do. They are sheep.
HOWEVER..there are those,such as myself, who have been into the music since the 80's. For people in my age group who are in the 'goth' scene it has mostly become a lifestyle. I DON'T dress in black to shock people,I am an atheist,and I could care less if I am called goth or not. I have been into dark themed litersture and music for the last 17 years and I don't see myself ever changing.
