A "lifestyle" in which people want to be different from everyone else and show that they don't care what everyone else thinks.
Sooooo.....
They typically don black eyeshadow, dye their hair black, wear black clothing that makes you think "bondage" and act like they hate the entire world. Typically, not everyone. This way, they can act EXACTLY LIKE everyone else who claims they "want to be different and don't care what everyone else thinks.

Gothic: Gothic people are emotional, weird masses with an unintelligent fanatic towards what they within themselves consider art. Many Gothic humans already might be pale or having a terrible time so decide to be concired gothic since they match the definition. Before somebody is Gothic they are usually just troubled and usually still are after being Gothic. Gothic people have all the same issues as everybody else but choose to be Gothic for some mysterious reason.
A lot of these Gothic people exist.
They are generally harmless.

A subgenre that seems to be widely misinterpreted and unrecognized, it is encompassed by liturature, film, and music.
Southern Gothic inspiration arises from the macabre, politically incorrect and disturbing side of the American South, exclusively exposing the flawed nature of Southern society. The popularity of the subgenre peaked in the 1940's - 1950's, although it made first appearances much earlier in works of literature by famous writers such as Edgar Allen Poe, William Faulkner, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Events that may unfold when indulging in Literature and film:
• Environmental decay, disturbing and mentally unbalanced characters, political tyranny, small town poverty, murder, and other events involving death.
Southern Gothic music (Gothic Americana) displays a mixture of Alternative, Country/Folk, Southern Rock and sometimes Bluegrass. Lyrical Inspiration arises from similar events found in Southern Gothic literature:
•Poverty, decay, disturbing characters, religion & the Devil, alcohol, gambling, betrayal (political/romantic), murder and the death of loved ones.
It is not uncommon for a Southern Gothic song to be narrated in first-person, as though the artist was personally involved with whatever dark events unfolded.

Having read the Southern Gothic novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the social and racial injustice are predominant themes.
If you like powerful, old movies with sinister themes, Southern Gothic films are just for you.
"The Bottomless Hole" by The Handsome Family screams Southern Gothic. "Sink Hole" and "That Man I Shot" by Drive-By Truckers are also fine examples. Southern Gothic playlists can be easily discovered.
When listening to Southern Gothic music, the accent adds rather than annoys.
