(* most goths I've known actually have a more romantic and conservative approach to sexuality, though they're much more open minded toward gender bending & alternative sexualities, and I've found most goth hangouts a pleasant break from the meat market vibe of most other bars and clubs.)

There are so many types of goths, but I think one very common theme is most aren't comfortable in the present. Some live more in the future (and can actually look more like ravers) but even more live in the past, particularly Victorian times. I tend to associate them with Romantics (such as Edgar Allen Poe) as well. A goth with money is likely to make antique store owners very happy (though not the ones that seem like refugees from some cyberpunk future).

And while I'd say a great many goths do take real pride in their appearance and can go to extremes, it's usually a lot more subtle (and only rarely slutty *) than many think it is (and some aren't even recognized as goths by non goths even when they spend a lot of time gothing up, though other goths usually have no problem recognizing him or her as one of their own).

As for which signs would seem to mix best with the gothic subculture I'd say offhand that Pisces is for the great many with mystical and/or artistic natures, Scorpio for those obsessed with things like vampires (which seems far less common than many think), Libra for those who love Victorian fashions (though the more extreme ones who go all out and tend to judge others harshly, shunning those who don't live up to their exacting standards might be more Leo), manners, classics, and intermingling in soothing surroundings, and Aquarius for those who "come from the future."

I hate long-nails, black nail colour, chains and heavy make up.

I'd rather prefer a natural makeup, lip gloss neutral and clean look. Virgo Rising

I like dark things and clothing. I wouldn't call my style traditionally goth, though. Like I think corsets are passé. I do like to wear black on black but it's more punk than goth. I only have Pluto in Scorpio and no 8th house placements.

eta: Should also say that my "gothic princess" bff wasn't really goth, just wore a lot of black because she worked at a hair salon so she had a lot of black attire.

This is pretty much what she looked like:

Plus a few linen thrift store dresses.

I also like padded/"bullet" bras (like the ones they had in the '50s).

I like a somewhat-goth look. I wear a lot of dark colors...black, grey, dark red, jewel tones...lots of lace, soft fabrics, layered clothing, tight clothing, cleavage-bearing clothing..dark, simple jewelry. Dark or naked nails. I love dark or heavy eye makeup. I also love to wear dark sunglasses. And boots.

My taste in music is similar...heavy, dark, gloomy metal.

I'm a Scorpio Moon Pluto Lilith
with 8th house Uranus and Neptune stationary rx

All I got to say is, I wear big glasses. Am I a hipster...no. I do wear them to see. And they turn into sunglasses in sun. I appear to be a square though.
But get to know me well, my wild side will come out.

(Though I personally wouldn't count Voltaire as a perky, though his songs and books are often hilarious, a favorite of mine and I used to sing Voltaire's Demon Slayer to a girl with terrible nightmares, and also a couple of times with a boy I help raise.)

You have to watch them, however. I found one delightful to be around but after I got a car she shanghaied me into giving her rides everywhere. Despite the expense I suppose I wouldn't have minded but she'd play this one song over & over again. I have mixed feelings that I can't recall the singer/band or song (though if I ever hear it again I'll know it), but it could be a entered into a contest for the perky goth theme song.

One day I ejected the tape (this was 2001 and my car was a Dodge Omni from the 80s) and threw it under the seat, not letting her get it back until we reached our destination. The very next time I gave her a ride she put it in and as soon as she made the song replay I did the same thing. That time she pulled out another tape (from her purse) and put it in...same song. Sighing I asked how many copies she'd made and I forget the exact number now but it was a lot.

I laugh about it now (but also wouldn't put up with it today as I did back then) but at the time I was wondering if she was conducting some secret test on my sanity.

And I love makeup, I don't do goth looks all the time though, just once in a while.

But i do like some goth accessories =) or rock chick clothing.

For both clothes and makeup, I accessorize, but don't go over the top. Take makeup for instance-- when I do my eyes, I make sure that there is a gradient that goes from really pigmented to faded on my eyelids. I take my fashion cues from Siouxsie Sioux. People just can't put paint on their faces, otherwise they look like clowns. For the goth look, subtle accessorizing is the way to go.
