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 also the parking lot. They all wear black clothes and eyeliner and have black hair and pale skin as well as being heavy smokers.

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) 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 jioned a cult group that worships Cthulhu and is involved with the Necronimicon. The Coon and Friends figure this is because the cults ideals fit in with their goth lifestyle.

Goth Leader
The Goth Leader, also commonly called Curly Goth or Tall Goth is the oldest Goth kid and leader of their gang who walks on a cane. 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 says that "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 conformimg to Goth Standards.

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.

Louis
Louis 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. 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. Dispite not wanting to kill anyone he ends up going along with the other goths after the goth leader said that killing is expected when you're a minion of Cthulhu. In commentary of an episode it was mentioned that Louis is in the Fourth grade (the same class as Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny) but supposed to be in fifth due to failing a year. Though for a reason is never shown, it is probably because he skips classes and hangs out in the back smoking.

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 (her Mother's stolen car), 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 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 than red goth she is in fifth grade, because red goth was mentioned to have failed his fourth grade as seen in the commentary of the episode "The Ungroundable".

Henrietta is the only South Park character at South Park Elementary, who has a similar body as Eric Cartman.

Kindergoth
Kindergoth is the youngest of the goth. He has short black hair, with a long side-swept fringe and what appears on his lips is 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. In the episode Mysterion Rises he shows how hardcore he is by pulling out a knife and showing his commitment to the Cthulhu cult as he prepares to battle 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 and with the word "Nevermore" written above it. He later quit the group after realizing (from Butters) that acting depressed and dark was not much fun.

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,". However, the Goth Kids seem to still hold something of a grudge against Stan, calling him jock in a disparaging manner.

Names
Only Henrietta's ' name has been given on screen, and fans usually refer to the males as Tall or Curly Goth, Red Goth, and Kindergoth. The popularity of Kyle the Skeptic's stories has spread the names Evan for Goth Leader, Dylan for Red Goth, and Georgie for Kindergoth. Not all fans agree however, and other fanon names have been created (like Ethan for Goth Leader).
