The Goth Kids are a group of goths in the animated series South Park. They are usually seen hanging around the café "Benny's" (a parody of Denny's) and the Village Inn. They also hang out behind the school, near the loading bay and also the parking lot. They all wear black clothes and eyeliner and have black hair and pale skin.

[edit] Personalities
The Goth Kids are very stereotypical goths. They rarely go to school and prefer to sit around all day drinking coffee and smoking. They constantly go on about how pointless and painful life is. They also like to go to the cemetery often, where they write poems about death and sorrow. They take to calling those who are not goths "Britney Spears/Justin Timberlake wannabes". They also "dance" by looking down at the ground, with their hands at their sides, and every three seconds they take a drag on their cigarettes.
To them, everyone who follows along with normal life and the path of average citzens are "conformists", whom they despise, thus they quote that their purpose in life is to make life more miserable for the conformists. They hate the "vampire" sub-culture more than conformists, as everyone else mistakes them for being vampires rather than Goth. However, ironically their actions represent stereotypical conformist behavior as one of them even said "You have to dress up like us and listen to the same music we do".

[edit] Goth Leader
The Goth Leader is the oldest goth kid and leader of their gang. He is taller than the others and has a large nose and curly black hair that sticks out. His head is larger than his body. His role in the Goth Kids' band is the vocalist. In the Episode 'Raisins' He says that "Love dident work out for my mom and dad, so why should it work out for me?" Suggesting that his parents are divorced, On sites such as DeviantArt and FanArt, he is refered to as Evan or Curly Goth.
In commentary of one episode where the goth leader appeared the creators ( Matt Stone & Trey Parker ) it was mentioned that he was a 6th grader.
[edit] Red Goth
The red goth is the second-oldest male goth kid and seems to be around the same age as Henrietta. He's short with hair that is dyed red near the roots. He also has a long fringe, which he is constantly seen flipping out of the way when it gets in his eyes. He wears purple buckled winkle picker shoes. He plays the bass guitar in the Goth Kids' band. On sites such as DeviantArt and FanArt, he is refered to as Dylan or Flippy-Haired Goth.
In commentary of an episode it was mentioned that red goth is in the 4th grade ( the same class as stan, kyle, cartman and kenny) but supposed to be in 5th due to failing a year. though for a reason is never shown in the class.
[edit] Henrietta
Henrietta is a female goth kid. She is constantly seen smoking, (more so than the others). Her bedroom is another place where the Goths hang out. She has short, straight hair, with long bangs and is overweight. She plays the keyboard in their band. She can also drive, as seen in The Ungroundable. She is a fan of the real life post-industrial band Skinny Puppy and her bedroom also features a poster of Blauhaus (a pun on real life Gothic Rock band Bauhaus). She is the only goth girl that had her name announced. She hates her mother (as she is a conformist), even though all her mother says is nice things about her daughter.
Though Henrietta is supposedly younger then red goth she is in 5th grade. because red goth was mentioned to have failed his 4th grade as seen in the commentary of the episode The Ungroundable.
[edit] Kindergoth
The kindergoth is rumored to be named Georgie. He is the youngest of all the goth kids and has short black hair, with a long side-swept fringe and what appears on his lips are purple lipstick. Like the other Kindergarteners he is voiced by a real kindergartener with a garbled voice. He says that most people are "Nazi conformist cheerleaders", and that he is the biggest non-conformist there is. He plays drums in the Goth Kids' band.
[edit] Stan (very temporary) a.k.a Raven
Stan Marsh briefly became a goth in the episode Raisins after Wendy Testaburger dumped him. Feeling depressed, he hung out with the Goth Kids. The fringe-flicker called Stan 'Raven', which was seemingly his new 'goth name'. He wore a black t-shirt which featured Edgar Allen Poe's face and with the word "Nevermore" written above it.
After this, it is implied that he was still friends or at least in touch with the Goth Kids, as they knew about Wendy and Stan getting back together, even saying, in Breast Cancer Show Ever, "So, everyone is saying there's going to be a fight between Eric Cartman and your girlfriend,".
