The Goth Kids are anti heroes in South Park. 

Biography

The Goth Kids first appeared in the episode Raisins. When Stan sank into a depression after being dumped by Wendy, he joined their gang. The Goth Kids spend all their time drinking coffee, writing depressing poetry, smoking and commenting on how everyone but themselves are "Britney and Justin conformist wannabes". Stan eventually gets sick of being miserable and leaves their gang, though they keep in touch, like the time Stan required one of them to be part of his dance troupe.

When the vampire craze hits South Park, the Goth Kids get frustrated with the fact that the vampire kids dress like them only much less melancholic. They briefly try dressing normally in the hopes of not being mistaken for them, but because none of them are considered particularly attractive, this image wasn't very flattering. They eventually stop the vampire craze by kidnapping the head vampire kid and destroying the fashion store that was supplying the other kids with goth-themed clothing and accessories, restoring their image.

The Goth Kids were part of a cult that worshipped Cthulhu. They were hoping that when Cthulhu ascended to Earth they would be able to bask in the chaos, but unfortunately Cartman got to Cthulhu and made him his sidekick. Disillusioned, they helped Kenny and the others find a way to deafeat Cthulhu.

Trivia

• The lanky goth kid has anger problems. Its implied that this is because he's insecure about his small penis.
• The girl goth is the elder step-sister to Bradley Biggle.
• In some background scenes, the Goth Kids can be shown smiling, presumably because they know they aren't the center of attention and can drop the whole dark and depressing act.
• The Goth Kids allowed Butters a place in their gang when he was feeling down. The vampire kids refused to let Butters join their gang at first because he wasn't cool enough. This shows that the Goth Kids aren't as cruel as they seem at first glance.
