The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture found in many countries. It began in England during the early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the Post-punk genre. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from the 19th century Gothic literature along with horror films and to a lesser extent the BDSM culture.
The goth subculture has associated tastes in music, aesthetics, and fashion. Gothic music encompasses a number of different styles including Gothic rock, Darkwave, Deathrock, Ethereal, Neo-Medieval and Neoclassical. Styles of dress within the subculture range from deathrock, punk and Victorian style attire, or combinations of the above, most often with dark attire, makeup and hair.
This is what Wikipedia tells us. But goth is more that just fancy hair and sex and books and music;
Goth is a whole lifestyle. Ofc you can look goth, listen to the right music and so on, but it's not really about that. It's about how you feel, and how you look at everything in life. If you look at Morticia Addams and her family, the just LOVE everything dark and gloomy. Wich is very goth - in the prejudicing way. Goth's don't have to be depressed, darkness loving selfharmers. Actually, many goths are quite happy. They look the way they wan't to, they are able to see the beauty in allmost everything, and in their world it makes no sense why somebody should not be allowed to be as he/she want's to be.
As you may have noticed, Goth is very hard to descripe. You can tell about the background, but you can never explain the "feeling". Wich is the only thing you need to be goth. Your mind at the right place. And your heart aswell. (And for god's sake - don't forget to dress properly, there's nothing worse than fake looking wannabes - Sorry to say, but if you really wanna become a goth, you have to understand their sense of beauty)
(Wich means that you have to dress properly, and look your best)
