Subject: Spooky Kid Category: Terminology/Sayings |
Originally this term was synonymous with "Mansonite" since Marilyn Manson's band was originally called Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. However, the term "Spooky Kid" has come to have a more broad reference in the gothic scene to incorporate all teens that identify with the gothic scene in order to find an identity. Such individuals are known to go overboard in makeup and dress under the premise "if a little is cool, that alot must be cooler!" (i.e. they try to be goth, which only makes them less goth.)
Goths consider the term derogatory, and find it annoying that the immature antics of spooky kids are often what is used by the media to define goth.
While goths consider spooky kids brainless poseurs, spooky kids tend to consider goths snobs and elitists due to the way they are treated by goths.
