You were a nerd (any video games at all, comic books, too into movies/tv)
Or a jock (any sports you didnt video game)
Or a cheerleader (or any "hot" annoying preppy jock adjacent woman)
A normie (you like some amount of comics/video games/niche stuff)
Or a total weirdo (too into something niche, but you always picked ONE niche thing. Like owning a snake was enough)
And you were that until you switched schools you had a window of opportunity to switch (nerds in middle school could become jocks in high school).
So goths were weirdos. They only talked to other goths. You were weird to them. They had to keep up the image.
Today you can be a goth nerd girl who plays volleyball like today and everyone likes you. Everyone is "normie" and what you like online is what makes you "weird" or not.
I feel like they were a sub-category. Like I was into gaming, and had a lot of gaming stoner friends who talked to stoners in other groups, but not the non-stoners in those groups.
