Goth

/ɡäTH/

"Goth" most commonly refers to the music-based subculture that began during the late 70s/early 1980s with the creation of the gothic rock subgenre, an offshoot of "post-punk". The music preferred by goths includes a number of styles such as gothic rock, death rock, post-punk, cold wave, dark wave, and ethereal wave. Although music-based, the subculture also has strong fashion aspects as well, The style most often includes dark (usually solid black) attire, dark makeup, and black hair. This subculture also appreciates the beauty in the more darker things in life. "Goth" is NOT synonymous with being depressed.

Other uses of the word "Goth" include:
1)Germanic people who played a major role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire
2) An architectural style used in medieval times and later in Victorian times.

Goth

Forget the meaning of life!
The real question is,what are goths?!
As a goth girl even I’m confused about this.
Well.Here’s a list of everything we are not.
1)Vampires
2)Freaks
3)Satan Worshippers

The most popular belief is that goths are people that wear black all the time and listen to bands such as Bauhaus,The Cure,Siouxie and the banshees.Those are some good bands that you should listen to btw.
A lot of goths are like that.But sometimes it’s different.There is pastel goth and cyber goth and etc.
The other thing is,no goth band or musician actually thinks there goth,it’s just that the gothic community has sort weaseled them in to goth because we like their music.
And yes,we can actually feel happiness,contrary to popular belief.

Karen(talking to her son):Jimmy cover your eyes there’s a satanic freak over there.
Goth:I don’t give a crap,crazy lady.
