AntiquityGoth: Yep, I'm into frills, medieval corsetry and silly white shirts and/or dresses. It's almost the Wuthering Heights look I'm after (but not like the Kate Bush video clip).

FetishGoth: rubber, latex, vinyl, PVC... you name it, hands will slide off... Also included here, I guess, are those who wear clothes that are normally unseen for your gender (e.g., pantyhose or dresses for a guy; codpieces and muscle-shirts for a woman).

AndrogynGoth: The androgynous gothic is distinct from those wearing fetishwear by the very fact that I'm not really -trying- to produce the "phwoaarr!" reaction of my peers... While the bogans and rednecks may wear Wonderbras or stuff their jocks with spare socks, I'm more likely to try to hide my gender... not by pretending to be some other sex, but, by being neither.

CybertechGoth: Wearing wires, silicone chips and circuit-boards. It's itchy as the wiring and boards scrape across one's back and arms. However, machines don't feel `Negative Sensations'... As they say: "no brain, no pain" ;-).

Glittergoth: Tiaras, bizarre 1940s costume wear, silly stuff like that. I have no shame when it comes to bringing out the colours and flashy stuff. This is the gothic most likely to incorporate a mirror-ball as wardrobe.

GrungeyGoth: "Kurt Cobain, is that you?" Well, not quite. My typical grungeygoth may have a fascination for dreadlocks, silly grey trenchcoats or appear to lack some sanitary habits... all quite illusory of course ;-).

Hippygoth: Lots of colours, a tendency to live in places like Fremantle, Western Australia, and Nimbin... You can spot the hippies because they're more than likely to be the ones getting involved with growing their own tomatoes (both real and pretend) while wearing the pagan and wiccan jewelry...

Jeans'n'T-ShirtGoth: Yep. Only black jeans and band t-shirt. Not to be mistaken for a metalhead (they tend to wear black stuff with, well, references to death and demons, too), but, it goes with the territory, I suppose. It's the most simple of all looks to arrange and maintain and it works.

IndustrialGoth: They cannot cope with the idea that they're Jeans'n'T-shirtGoths who just wear t-shirts with Industrial bands on them.

MilitaryGoth: Says Andrew Eldritch, "I think the great lesson of the 20th century is that you have to separate the ethics from the aesthetics... The great lesson there is that you don't have to agree with what the Nazis did, but, yes, be honest about it, they did have the best uniforms. A lot of people can't come to terms with something as banal as that."

NewRomantic: Dressing in the style of early Madonna/Siouxsie, Split Enz, and the like may seem a bit bright on the eyes to peers, but, I and my trusty false sword are ready for 'em ;-).

GothPunk: Mohawk, big tough leather jacket held together with safety pins, etc. I may fit into this category if people keep commenting on why I wear my Dead Kennedys t-shirt while moshing to `Temple of Love.'

RockabillyGoth: looking like a rocker in black. Critics may think, as a result, that RockabillyGoths are slightly braindead, but, that's the downside of looking like a greasy redneck who's into Elvis tunes played with fiddles and bottle blows ;-).

SkinGoth: like a skinhead or femnazi... quite a good look when done well; just look at Tankgrrl. The thing that sets this look apart from Gothpunk is sheer venom and the look of impending violence. That and the nationalism.

TrashyGraveyardGoth: A look that's around in the UK. "We tend to wear black ripped things, but quite stylishly" is the description was given. Punky Brewster lookalikes in B&W.

SecondHandGoth: Not only wearing second hand clothing (recycling for the '90s), but, it's obvious that it's second hand... There's something about clothing from the Salvation Army that's just, well, so "salvos"... and this clothing style just epitomizes that "look."

SpaghettiWesternGothic: has cowboy boots with spider webs and skulls on it. It's the whole Near Dark, Dark Western, American Gothic thing. Think of the Fields of the Nephilim t-shirt, add a touch of Jack Palance and Edward Scissorhands, and you've probably got it in one.
