Spooky Kid

a term of abuse, sometimes used by goths.

he isn’t a goth, he’s a spooky kid.

b) shop at hot topic
c) try to combine goth and punk into one horrible labeling fiasco
d) worship the devil, think they have magic powers (see fluff)
e) think they are vampirees, demons, werewolves, and tell children at school this
f) are commericial cutters
g) fancy the name ‘raven’
h) think pink and black is gothic/punk
i) there’s more but i’m sure you get it

similair to baby bat
and there goes another spooky kid
a devotee of marilyn manson, slipknot, etc., usually complaining about “preps”, wearing tacky clothes from hot topic, and pretending to be dark and scary. frequently misaken for goths by people (including themselves) who wouldn’t know “goth” if it bit them on the -ss.
adolescent children of middle cl-ss upbringing with nothing to rebel against, dressing in all black with useless zippers and heavy eye makeup (males included). spooky kids can be seen being dropped off at the mall via minivan and congregating in front of the hot topic.

spooky kids are the next link in the evolutionary chain of losers. once known as “goths”, spooky kids are separated from the goths by musical taste. moving from black metal bands like venom and obituary, they can be heard listening to emo and emo-core.
“band geeks are too easy, lets beat the cr-p out of the spooky kids!”
