Goths are spoilt, middle-class kids who want something to 'rebel' against. If they do claim this, it's like the pathetic teens who claim to be anarchists...
Puh-lease...

What? There are some daft ideas here. Has the person who is thinking these up had any contact with the education system whatsoever?   The nature of that statement, (like majority of the other gothic related topics on here) is subjective not objective. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But to talk about a culture so negatively is discrimination. Apparently people have more issues with goths than goths do about people.

i get this one all the time. they think i have bad grades but i don't.

Some goths are like that, but incase you retards haven't noticed, We the goths of america have a large vocabulary. We are responsible. We usually aren't while amongst our friends, though. But who really is? Why is all of this being pushed upon us? Why don't you go pick on the ones who fall asleep in class formally known as the jocks.......

Intelligence is highly valued within the goth subculture. While traditional education is not required, most legitimate goth communities hold high standards of intelligent discussion regarding a wide range of topics. Debate is often encouraged, as is the quest for knowledge.
