Goth is about being a huge poseur who wears black all the time and most of the women are extremely fat.

There isn't a Philosophy. It's just a type of music with a style of fashion attached to it. It's not affiliated with any religions, has no goals, and promotes nothing.

Like most other kinds of music in fact.

Fun though.

Bro.
Its Conan aka BROnan.

From Dictionary.com:
Gothicism

1. The use or imitation of Gothic style, as in architecture.
2. A barbarous or crude manner or style.

I believe that the plant in this video is a closet goth.

Sometimes the extreme lack of goals makes me cry in the closet with a plant. Other times I just do it because it is fun.

Let us not forget the worship of Peter Murphy and Siouxsie Sioux, whilst listening to Rozz Williams and Christian Death. And bats. Plastic bats.

What? He is of an average height for men at 5'9." That's not funny. I'm about 5'8" and sure there is no coincidence.

Philosophy? Just paint all your shit black and lock yourself in the room.
