It's impossible to say who actually were the first barbarians. Today we consider "barbarians" people who are primitive or to our way of thinking, uncivilized. However the original word translated as "barbarian" came from the Greeks, who used the term for anyone who was a non-Greek. It did not have a negative connotation.

The barbarians were the Germanic tribes and the Vikings. Some combined to create the Visigoths. The word "barbarian" is Greek for "the stranger." They invaded the Roman Empire making it fail and created the world we call the "middle or dark ages."

"Barbaric" is a term that has been romanticised to infer the primitive and brutal nature of life and warfare during the Middle Ages (ca. 5th to 15th centuries) The term can also relate the the loosely coined "Barbarians", which was given to tribes and people outside the Roman Empire prior to the onset of the Middle Ages. As the rapid expansion of the Roman Empire and the influx of foreigners (i.e. barbarians) into the Roman lands were responsible for the demise of the the Empire, it could be another reason why the Middle Ages are labelled as 'barbaric'. It is however, not appropriate to label the entire Middle Ages period as barbaric as there very many discoveries and occurrences during this time that were very civilised and eminent and far from the stereotypical and contemporary definition of barbaric.
The Middle Ages began after the collapse of the Roman Empire.
The period of time from 500 AD to 1500 AD is called the Middle Ages.
