Pete, Henrietta, Michael and Firkle 𖹭

୧ ‧₊˚ 🍮 ⋅ ☆

Goth Kids are very stereotypical goths. They rarely go to school and prefer to sit all day drinking coffee and smoking. They constantly talk about how useless and painful life is. They often go to the cemetery, where they write poems about death and pain. Non-goths like to call them "Britney (Spears) and Justin (Timberlake) wannabes." They also dance looking at the ground, with their hands at their sides, and every three seconds they take a drag on their cigarettes.

Despite hating conformists, Michael ironically tells Stan in that in order to hang out with them he would have to dress like them and do what they do. Goth kids also like Gothic literature, including author Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft. They are also interested in gothic rock, post-punk, darkwave and industrial music.

For them, all those who follow the normal life and the path of the average citizen are "conformists", whom they despise, stating that their purpose in life is to make life more miserable for conformists. They hate the South Park Vampire Society more than the Conformists, as everyone else mistakes them for vampires instead of goths. They have also joined a cult group that worships Cthulhu and is involved with the Necronomicon. Coon and his friends believe this is because the cult's ideals fit their Gothic lifestyle. However, they quickly leave the cult after seeing that nothing has changed and help Mysterion learn Cthulhu's weakness.

The Goth Kids have collectively and individually participated in numerous criminal offenses. Arson: In "The Ungroundable", they set fire to South Park's Hot Topic store, burning it to the ground. Assassination Attempt: Firkle attempts to kill Mysterion in "Mysterion Rises", but cult leader Cthulhu does it instead. Assassination/Kidnapping Attempt: In "The Ungroundable", Mike Makowski, the leader of the Society of South Park Vampires, with the intention of murdering him. However, after admitting that he is not a vampire, they change their minds and send him to Scottsdale, Arizona. Drug Abuse/Underage Smoking: Goth kids are frequently seen smoking cigarettes despite their age (5 to 11 years old), as well as 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 even have a learner's permit. Hostage Taking/Terrorism: In 'TMI', Michael participates in the Pissed Off Party's hostage taking at the Fed-Ex offices. Betrayal/Sedition: In "Mysterion Rises" and "Coon vs. Coon."

HENRIETTA BIGGLE

Henrietta Biggle was the first and currently only Gothic woman. Their bedroom is another place where goths hang out and read depressing poems about how much they hate conformists. Henrietta despises her mother because she usually interrupts her every time she reads a poem. Mrs. Biggle takes this as Henrietta's normal gothic behavior. During the events of "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers", Henrietta's parents send her to camp to try to improve her attitude. The camp temporarily turns her emo, before she returns to her usual goth form.

MICHAEL

Michael is the oldest goth boy, he is in fifth grade. In "You Got F'd in the A", he helps Stan's dance team in an effort to be the biggest nonconformist of them all by not even conforming to goth standards. He also suggests incorporating Yao into the group

PETE THELMAN

Pete Thelman appears to be about the same age as Michael and Henrietta, and is in fourth grade. He shows a bit of concern about 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 agreeing with the other Goths after Michael says that killing is expected when you're a servant of Cthulhu.

FIRKLE

Georgie "Firkle" Smith is the youngest of the Goths and is in kindergarten. He says that most people are "conformist Nazi cheerleaders" and that he is the biggest nonconformist there is.

STAN MARSH

Stan briefly became a goth in the episode "Raisins", after Wendy Testaburger broke up with him to be with Tolkien. Feeling depressed, he hung out with the Goth Kids as suggested by Kyle Broflovski. Pete called Stan "Raven", which was apparently his new "goth name". He was wearing a black t-shirt showing Edgar Allen Poe's face with the word "Nevermore" written over it, which appears to be a t-shirt for the metal band "Nevermore." It is also the name of a poem by Edgar Allan Poe that has a raven in it, from which it gets its name. He later left the group, on the advice of Butters Stotch, after realizing that it is better to be sad and cheer up later than to have a goth attitude. After this, it is implied that he was still in contact with the Goth Kids, as who knew that Wendy and Stan would get back together, referencing it in "Breast Cancer Show Ever". However, the Goth Kids seem to still hold some grudge against Stan, calling him a jock in a derogatory manner. Michael also helped Stan by joining his dance group in You Got F'd in the A by not "wanting to settle" with the rest of the Goth Kids, who refused.

CONSTANT PLACES

Loading and Unloading Dock Their most common place to hang out is the loading dock behind South Park Elementary School. This is where the Goth Kids are first introduced when Stan Marsh requests to join them in "Raisins". This is where the Goth Kids are found in South Park: The Stick of Truth. They sit there, smoke and listen to music. Henrietta's bedroom The Goth Kids often hang out in Henrietta's bedroom to sit in the dark, read Gothic literature, write and perform poems about grief, and dabble in the occult. The room is very dark and decorated with band posters, candles, skulls, and other gothic items. Henrietta's mother often enters the room and interrupts much to Henrietta's dismay. This appears to be the only Goth Kid room where everyone hangs out. Benny's This restaurant was an old hangout where the Goth Kids spent time drinking coffee and were often scolded by the waitress who worked there for sitting there all day drinking coffee. Village inn This restaurant is Goth Kids' new hangout for coffee. The interior is identical to Benny's and features the same hostile waitress, so it is possibly the same building under new management, although the exterior shots do not match the background. This is probably just a continuity error.
