About[edit]

The last thing the Goth kids want to be is conformists; as a result, these "nonconformists" listen to the same music, dress in the same clothes, and act the same. They consider their only purpose in life to make life more miserable for the conformists. They also hate douchey Vampire Kids, who they accuse of stealing their style. They also have a band.

They usually hang out behind South Park Elementary and smoke cigarettes or dance, hang out at Benny's or the Village Inn and drink coffee, or write poems in Henrietta Biggle's room. They never go to class, though they have been seen inside the school, and nothing pisses them off more than being referred to as 'Vampire Kids' or 'Emo' kids, and often accuse the conformists of being 'wannabe' Justin Timberlakes or Britney Spears.

The group's members include Michael, the tall Goth, Pete, the 'Hair Flip' Goth, Henrietta Biggle, the 'Goth Girl' and Firkle Smith, the 'Little Goth'. Despite their cynical attitudes, they do care about each other -- like lying about how Henrietta changed cliques so easily during the Emo invasion.

Stan became a goth kid for a while at Kyle's suggestion after his breakup with Wendy, and was assigned the goth name Raven. He later left the group after hearing a touching speech from Butters Stotch, though they keep in contact from time to time.

Video Games[edit]

South Park: The Stick of Truth[edit]

A significant quest in the game involves courting the Goth Kids' allegiance and choosing whether to bring them to the Humans or the Elves. The player must find them behind the school, then learn to dress like them and dance like them to win their friendship. They then join the player's chosen race in the Battle at the School.

Behind The Scenes[edit]

Matt does the voice of Tall Goth Michael. Trey voices Hair Flip Pete and Edgar Allen Poe... aka "Night Pain".
Like Ike Broflovski, Little Goth's voice has been done by a number of children over the years -- usually it's done by a staff member's kid.

New Goth Kids' Intro[edit]

http://1.images.southparkstudios.com/blogs/southparkstudios.com/files/2014/06/1704_BTS_Pic19_GothIntro_Lyrics.jpg

"Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" is the first time EVER that the lyrics to the intro song have been changed. Here's the script for the Goth Kids opening, made specifically for this show.

Production Art: Henrietta's Transformation[edit]

http://1.images.southparkstudios.com/blogs/southparkstudios.com/files/2014/06/1704_BTS_Pic14_HenriettaEmo.jpg

Check out Henrietta's transformation from Goth to Emo in this character style sheet for "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers". No way... NO WAY!!!

1st Draft of Script[edit]

http://1.images.southparkstudios.com/blogs/southparkstudios.com/files/2014/06/1704_BTS_Pic07_Script.png

On the 1st Draft of the script for "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers", this episode was originally called "Posers From Beyond". Scripts will often go through multiple title changes during our crazy 6-day production process. You can also see that this episode was written with the idea of being a Halloween-themed show.

Character Art: Emo Firkle[edit]

http://1.images.southparkstudios.com/blogs/southparkstudios.com/files/2014/06/1704_BTS_Pic06_LittleGothArt.jpg

This "emo" version of Firkle went through multiple rounds of changes before it was finalized. If you watch "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers", you'll notice the final version looks noticeably different.

Bonus Factoids[edit]

An unknown Goth Girl has been seen with them in "Goobacks" and the ninth season intro, but she has never been seen otherwise.

-The last thing the Goth kids want to be is conformists; as a result, they all dress alike. They also hate douchey Vamp Kids, who they accuse of stealing their style. After [[Stan Marsh]] was dumped by [[Wendy Testaburger|girlfriend]], he became a Goth kid for a while. They also have a band, as seen in "[[Erection Day]]".

-===Members===
+Stan became a goth kid for a while at [[Kyle Broflovski|Kyle]]'s suggestion after his breakup with Wendy, and was assigned the goth name Raven. He later left the group after hearing a touching speech from [[Butters Stotch]], though they keep in contact from time to time.
-Michael, the tall Goth, is in the fifth grade, is likely half-Asian, and often the group's leader. His mother is of East Asian descent, and his father is an older man with a large nose and curly hair like him. He has stated "love didn't work" for them, which could mean they have a difficult relationship or that his father may have remarried. He considers himself the 'least conformist' of them all and has attended anger management therapy in "[[T.M.I.]]". He is the lead vocalist in the Goth Kids' band.
-Pete, the Hair Flip Goth, lives in a trailer, and hates P. E. class, threatening to kill himself if he has to go again in "[[Mysterion Rises]]". He can be a little more insecure than Michael at times but also tends to be more overtly cynical. It's unknown if his natural hair color is red or black, but he has been accused of using red hair dye in "[[Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers]]". He also has pockmarks on his face, as mentioned in "The Ungroundable". He plays bass guitar in the Goth Kids' band.

-Henrietta Biggle, the female Goth, lives with her parents and her brother [[Bradley Biggle|Bradley]], all of whom she reviles. She often berates her mother to her friends, though her mother seems to think this is "just a phase". She is often smoking and appears to be the most knowledgable of the Goth subculture, owning a copy of the Necronomicon and knowing much of the book's background, as seen in "[[Coon vs. Coon and Friends]]". She is also capable of driving using her parents' car, shown in "[[The Ungroundable]]" and plays the keyboard in the Goth Kids' band.
