Goth Kids

The Goth Kids are a group of goth children 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 parking lot. They all wear black clothes and eyeliner and have black hair and pale skin as well as being heavy smokers.

Background
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) and 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 citizens 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. They have also joined a cult group that worships Cthulhu and is involved with the Necronomicon. Coon and Friends figure this is because the cult's ideals fit in with their goth lifestyle. However, they quickly leave the cult after seeing nothing has changed and assist Mysterion in learning Cthulhu's weakness.

Despite hating conformists, Tall Goth unironically tells Stan, in the episode "Raisins", that in order to hang out with them he would have to dress like them and do whatever they do.

Names
Only Henrietta's name has been given officially, except for Stan's brief appearance as a goth in the episode Raisins, though many fans have speculated the rest of the group's names.

Tall Goth
The Tall Goth, also known as Curly Goth, is the oldest Goth kid who occasionally walks on a cane. However, he is seen walking without it, including giving it to Raven (Stan). He is taller than the others and has a large nose and curly black hair that sticks out. His role in the Goth Kids' band is the vocalist. In the episode "Raisins" he states "Love didn't work out for my mom and dad, so why should it work out for me?", suggesting that his parents are divorced. However, in "You Got F'd in the A", he helps Stan's dance team out in an effort to be the biggest non-conformist of all by not even conforming to goth standards. He also suggests bringing Yao into the group.

Tall Goth appears in "The Ungroundable", being mistaken for a Vampire kid. The Goth Kids kidnap the head Vampire Kid and suggest ramming a stake through his heart, but end up sending him to someplace.

Tall Goth appears in "T.M.I." in the anger management class with several others. He may have a small penis, as he goes to an anger management class with other people who have anger issues due to their penis size.

On one episode's commentary track, the creators (Matt Stone & Trey Parker) mentioned that he was a 6th grader. If he is in the sixth grade, then he is short for his age, as The Fifth Graders are much taller than him; or The Fifth Graders are just very tall.

Red Goth
Red Goth is the second-oldest male goth kid and seems to be around the same age as Henrietta. He's short with somewhat long 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. Apparently this long fringe of hair, which touches his face, has caused him acne problems, resulting in apparent pockmarks as mentioned by another student in "The Ungroundable". He wears purple buckled winklepicker shoes. When he speaks he has a very soft voice, even when yelling; implying that he does not speak often. He also plays the bass guitar in the Goth Kids' band. He shows a little concern over the position he and the other goth kids are in when they were about to kill Mysterion. Despite not wanting to kill anyone he ends up going along with the other goths after Tall Goth said that killing is expected when you're a minion of Cthulhu.

Henrietta Biggle
Henrietta Biggle is the female goth kid. She is constantly seen smoking (more so than the others). Her bedroom is another place where the Goths hang out. She is overweight and has short, straight hair with long bangs. She plays the keyboard in their band. She can also drive (her mother's car), as seen in "The Ungroundable". She is a fan of the real life post-industrial band Skinny Puppy, and her bedroom also features posters of Blauhaus (a pun on real life Gothic Rock band Bauhaus) and a Necronomicon poster. She is the only goth that has had her name announced. She hates her mother (who she considers a conformist), even though all her mother says is nice things about her daughter. It is revealed in "Coon vs. Coon and Friends" that Bradley Biggle is her brother, though not by blood, as Bradley is revealed to be an alien, thus making them not blood related.

Henrietta is the only known student at South Park Elementary to have a body similar to Eric Cartman.

Kindergoth
Kindergoth is the youngest of the goths. He has short black hair, with a long side-swept fringe, and what appears on his lips to be 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 during the talent show in "Erection Day". In the episode "Mysterion Rises" he shows how hardcore he is by pulling out a switchblade and threatened to stab Mysterion.

Raven (Stan Marsh)
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 with the word "Nevermore" written above it. He later quit the group after realizing (on advice from Butters) that it is better to be sad and cheer up later than to be a "faggy goth kid".

After this, it is implied that he was still in contact 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". However, the Goth Kids seem to still hold something of a grudge against Stan, calling him jock in a disparaging manner.
