As a person very familiar with the Goth scene (no I'm not but I have many friends from many walks of life), I can tell you that this isn't true. True Goths are fascinated with darkness (as in absence of light, not depressing things) and dislike "cute" things, but are not morbid. Many wanna-be Goths who do not understand true Goths are this way, but they are wanna-be Goths, not true Goths. In fact, most of my Goth friends are nicer than many of my other friends, and not just to their friends, but to strangers as well (like giving directions to people trying to find their way around campus, for example).
