goth stereo typesWhat do people expect the goth Stereo type to look like?

I believe that now a day's. to many people expect Goth's to be wearing full on makeup styles like kiss. Ive yet to see a goth like that. I know as a fact that some goths may only wear makeup with another goth that's what i do anyways. and there is like maybe three of us in one two rest are all emo's, scenes or neds. and plus it annoys me when people that don't understand it try to understand and show there opinions in the most annoying way's. like they expect all goths to look very freaky like the ones you see on the net when u type it up. just to explain that those are model's there modeling to be goths. but how many people do you see dressing full on makeup am lucky if i see another fellow goth in a month and well the ones i meet are very goth but not as extrema as the likes of marilyn manson and dani filth but even dani filth happens to not wear so much make up when not on stage look up never mind ethe buzz cocks hes ogoth stereo typesn one of the episodes. so anyways those goths that don't wear makeup or do but not very much are not wannabes they ar probably like me find there there are not a lot of goths to do it with putting on the makeup etc. as for clothing am having to order online now great site for clothing angle clothing.com or kinky angle.com and kate clothing looks good to but am not ordering off of there.
That was sort of hard to read since it was one block of text, but anyway, you do realize Marilyn Manson and Dani Filth are not goth, right? They're metal musicians, and metal has nothing to do with goth.
As far as (real) goths, I think a lot of people do expect them to be all decked out, but for the vast majority, it seems the everyday attire is actually not extreme at all. I myself typically wear a band t-shirt (real goth bands like Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Christian Death, etc.) or a nice blouse (usually black), plain black or graygoth stereo types or pinstriped trousers, and Doc Martens boots with very little make-up. The only time I get dressed up is if I go to a goth night or concert and that's rarely and I'll wear things like a corset and fishnet with only slightly heavier make-up (like eyeshadow, which I don't wear on an average day). Then again, I have a friend who dresses up nearly everyday (although she's very classy about it). So there's both sides, goths who are more casual and ones who do get dressed up all the time, yet I think most people don't realize that.
Please tell me you're a troll. If not, please go look up the origins of goth. Here is a good place to start -
As I said, all the musicians you've listed (including Ozzy) are metal, which is unrelated to goth. Goth actually has origins in punk and post-punk.
