Why are Goths depressed?
I would argue that the majority of Goths are actually the funniest and smartest people (if we’re discussing stereotyped groups). Because they completely do not worry or care about social judgments or standards, they are liberated to experiment and think about different ideas. You can only truly excel if you’re willing to step out of the box.
Honestly, most goths are not depressed. If they are, it is the person themselves that is depressed as an individual not as a goth. Goths can be some of the upbeat, funniest people you will ever meet! I know this for a fact, I am a goth, most of my friends are goths and people always are telling me im a really smiley, fun person and im not depressed. So you shouldn’t go judge a goth by the stereotypes you hear.

Not all Goths are depressed, just as not all cheerleaders are airheads, not all nerds are ugly, not all surfers are bums with long blond hair. These are stereotypes, which are often very harmful to other people. Granted, some Goths are depressed, but so are non-Goths. There is no empirical data that suggests that people who are involved in Goth culture are more depressed than people involved in any other culture.
