This is probably the most outrageously untrue of all the stereotypes.

Romantic goth typically includes reds and purples, whereas deathrock revival fashion has included white, purple, even bright colours such as pinks and yellows. Traditional goths did typically tend to wear all black outfits, but as the subculture has grown off-shoots and outgrowths such as romantic goth, deathrock, and the deathrock revival, different types of colours have been added into the style. These include the commonly incorrect beliefs that: There are the inside jokes and stereotypes like drinking black coffee, smoking clove cigarettes, and the love for absinthe for the goth community, and then the negative stereotypes that those outside the goth community believe.

Throughout the nearly 50 years that the goth subculture has established, numerous stereotypes, misconceptions, and misinformation has surfaced through mainstream media.
