Mall Goth
Mall goths (also known as spooky kids) are a subculture that began in the late-1990s in the United States. Originating as a pejorative to describe people who dressed goth for the fashion rather than culture, it eventually developed its own culture centred around nu metal, industrial metal, emo and the Hot Topic store chain. It has variously been described as a part of the goth subculture, as well as a separate subculture simply influenced by goth. History Origins "Mall goth" is derived from the words "shopping mall, mall" and "gothic subculture, goth", referencing how many participants of the subculture would often spend time at shopping malls.
