Line 60:
For the [[Manga]] of the same name by Otsuichi, see ''[[Goth (manga)|Goth]]''. For the video game, see ''[[Gothic]]''. For the associated musical style, see [[Goth Rock]].
A handy guide to different (stereo)types of Goths can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20130918093733/http://www.blackwaterfall.com/viewall.php here.]

Line 104:
== Film ==
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette|Lydia]] in ''[[Beetlejuice]]''; her [[Beetlejuice (animation)|animated counterpart]] was more of a [[Perky Goth]]. "My life is a darkroom. [[
** Though by the end of the movie, she also seems like more of a [[Perky Goth]].
** Hell, [[Tim Burton]] in general.
Line 136:
==
* The main character of ''[[R. L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It]]'' [[Made for TV Movie]]. At one point in the movie, she sat in her room and listen to depressing music all day long. The reason? Well, she ''dropped food on herself at school''. Oh, the inanity!
** Later, when she's asked to take her brother trick or treating, she sulks while the soundtrack plays:
{{quote|''Walking down the street alone.''
''Everything I've ever loved is gone gone gone...'' }}
* Abby Sciuto, [[The Lab Rat]] from ''[[NCIS]]'', is the quintessential [[Perky Goth]]. Just don't mess with her [[Must Have Caffeine|Caf-Pow]] supply.
* Merton J. Dingle from ''[[Big Wolf on Campus]]'' was a rather pathetic but strangely endearing simulacrum of a goth.
Line 198:
== Web Comics ==
* Subverted by Melanippe from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131106162628/http://amazoness.co.uk/index.htm Amazoness!]''; while she ''looks'' like a stereotypical goth, the comic takes place in ancient Greece, and she's really a Goth... as in, the tribe of barbarians who would go on to sack Rome.
* Lampshaded in ''[[Ozy and Millie]]'': Felicia, a trendy, sheep-like girl, has times when she'll break out the goth makeup in what everyone except the extremely gullible in the strip consider to be a very fake Goth style.
* Haley Starshine of ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' went through a Gloomy Goth phase in her teen years. She now regards the whole business as [[Dork Age|kind of stupid]].
Line 210:
* ''[http://www.gothybeans.com/beans/ Gothy Beans]'' is a strip entirely devoted to [[Perky Goth]] beans.
** And one [[Deadpan Snarker]].
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131221232339/http://www.clashingblack.com/alas/ Alas]'' is all about Goths, and for once created by one. It alternates between [[Playing with a Trope|playing with]] and parodying the stereotypes, and doing the same with the real scene. A good antidote to most of the rather dire media portrayals.
* ''[[Rhapsodies]]'' has Blossom, Francine, Olive, Bian, Stefan and, presumably, Bert.
* [http://www.writheandshine.com Writhe and Shine] is a [[Slice of Life]] comedy about the New Orleans goth scene, written by a (now former) New Orleans goth.
