What is goth?
Gothic fashion has nothing to do with medieval architecture. Gothic is a culture itself. It's a way of life, reflected in all fashion and art.
Gothic history
Goth originated in early-1980's England, as a subculture from punk. It's thought the name came from an article called The face of Punk Gothique in a UK rock magazine in 1981. Movies like The Crow brought the culture across the Atlantic. Gothic popularity has since been boosted by the media and the desire for youngsters to look different.
Being goth
Goths take the culture very serious to the extent of a way of life. They believe that good and evil, beauty and destruction, light and dark, can't exist without each other - and therefore their values of these are different to the norm.
They have a perverse sense of humour and a love of dark 19th-century literature and their own music. Goths can find art and beauty where these seem to be lacking
Why become goth?
Although dressing in Victorian black velvet and wearing armour rings is artificial - Goths do so to show off their culture and attitude to life. Being "dark" allows them to view life's bad sides in a positive way.
Some youngsters turn to goth to mirror the way they feel about life, especially if they find it difficult to fit in society or mix with others. There is nothing wrong with this - it helps youngsters to express their individuality. Far better to expose these feelings this way, then in an anti-social form.
False assumptions
Some think that gothic culture is negative, glamorizing sadism and doom. Others believe Goths are violent and anarchist. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Goths are usually relaxed, tolerant and non-violent, using their fascination with death to look at life optimistically. Furthermore, goths are creative, relying on their imagination to make themselves stand out from others.
