Goth Kids

The Goth Kids are the group of goth children at South Park Elementary. They are usually seen hanging around the café Benny'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 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 life as usual and the path of average citizens are "conformists", whom they despise, they state that their purpose in life is to make life more miserable for the conformists. They hate the South Park Vampire Society 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, Michael ironically 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.

The goth kids also are into gothic literature as well, including the author Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft. They also have an in interest in gothic rock, post punk, dark wave and industrial music.

Names
Henrietta's name was given officially in the Season Seven episode, "Raisins". Pete, Michael, and Firkle, however, did not have their names revealed until the Season Seventeen episode, "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers". Firkle's real name was revealed to be Georgie in the Season Twenty-One episode, "Franchise Prequel".

Criminal Record
The Goth Kids have collectively and individually engaged in numerous criminal offenses.
 * Arson: In "The Ungroundable", they set fire to the South Park Hot Topic store, burning it to the ground.
 * Attempted Murder: Firkle attempts to kill Mysterion in "Mysterion Rises", but the Cult Leader does so instead.
 * Attempted Murder / Kidnapping: In "The Ungroundable", they kidnap Mike Makowski, the leader of the South Park Vampire Society, with the intent of murdering him. After he admits he isn't a vampire, however, they change their minds and ship him off to Scottsdale, Arizona instead.
 * Drug Abuse / Underage Smoking: The Goth Kids are frequently seen smoking cigarettes despite their age (5 and 10), in addition to abusing cough syrup to hallucinate.
 * Grand Theft Auto / Driving Without A License: In "The Ungroundable", they take Henrietta's mother's car without her permission, and are clearly too young to have even a learner's permit.
 * Hostage-Taking / Terrorism: In "T.M.I." Michael participates in the Pissed Off and Angry Party's taking of hostages at the Fed-Ex offices.
 * Treason / Sedition: In "Mysterion Rises" and "Coon vs. Coon & Friends", they are shown to be part of the Cthulhu cult and supporting the eponymous monster's reign of terror. They later leave the cult, though, expressing dissatisfaction with the outcome.

Henrietta Biggle
Henrietta Biggle was the first female goth kid. Her bedroom is another place where the Goths hang out where they read depressing poems about how much they hate conformists. During the events of "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers", Henrietta's parents send her to a camp attempting to improve her attitude. The camp temporarily turns her emo, before she reverts back to her usual goth self.

Michael
Michael is presumably the oldest goth kid. 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.

Pete Thelman
Pete Thelman is presumably the second-oldest male goth kid and seems to be around the same age as Michael and Henrietta. 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 Michael said that killing is expected when you're a minion of Cthulhu.

Firkle Smith
Georgie "Firkle" Smith is the youngest of the goths. He says that most people are "Nazi conformist cheerleaders", and that he is the biggest non-conformist there is.

Karen McCormick
Karen McCormick is the second youngest of the goths. She is the sister of Kenny McCormick, and looks up to her fellow female goth, Henrietta. Although not initially a goth kid, she becomes one after the events of South Park: The Fractured But Whole's "From Dusk till Casa Bonita" DLC.

Raven (Stan Marsh)
Stan Marsh briefly became a goth in the episode "Raisins", after Wendy Testaburger broke-up with him. Feeling depressed, he hung out with the Goth Kids as suggested by Kyle Broflovski. Pete 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 which appears to be a band shirt of the metal band "Nevermore". He later quit the group, on advice from Butters Stotch, after realizing that it is better to be sad and cheer up later rather than to have a Gothic attitude.

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, referencing it in "Breast Cancer Show Ever". However, the Goth Kids seem to still hold something of a grudge against Stan, calling him jock in a disparaging manner.

Unnamed Goth Girl
There is another Goth girl that can be seen with the group in short non-speaking cameos on two occasions. Once in "Goobacks" she is seen helping the other Goth kids pick up garbage during the "Work for a better future" song and again during the Season Nine intro sequence replacing Firkle.

Trivia

 * Despite the typical attitude of the Goth Kids, Pete and Henrietta are seen enthusiastically smiling and waving in the South Park Theme. Michael was seen smiling as well as cheering during the endings of "You Got F'd in the A" and "T.M.I.".
 * Except for in "Stunning and Brave", where only Michael appeared, all of the Goth Kids usually appear together.
 * The Goth Kids are shown to be quite protective of one another, as seen in "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers", when Pete and Michael try to help Henrietta after she has turned emo. They even risk their lives to bring her back to normal. At the end of "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers", Pete tells Henrietta that they torched the emo plant leader, so as to save her from the embarrassment of admitting she went emo not by force, but by of her own free will. This may also explain their disparaging treatment of Stan, as they may be hurt that he quit their group.
 * Michael, Pete, and Firkle are referred to as Tall Goth, Hair Flip, and Little Goth, respectively, in the official script.
