No.
no, being goth or emo isn't a culture.
well i guess a lot of people consider satanism goth but i dont think being goth has much to go with religion...
darkness, wanting to stand out of the crowd and to be individual basically darkness being goth just comes naturally if you are a real goth
You need to feel goth to be goth. You don't have to dress goth, or write goth. You have to be someone that thinks about death and sorrow and the dead. In fact, a goth could live his/her life without ANYONE knowing that he/she is goth, except for themselves. It's about being goth inside. But if you really want to get into goth alot and you can manage to dress goth without your parents freaking out, then go for it!
It's because they want to be 'Cool' But there are NOT. That's called being a 'Poser'. Ask them how 'Goth' started if they DON'T know they are Not Goth, If they Can..... Well They ARE A Goth!
Goth's don't have "breeds" They have many different clasifications. I have been told that there over 150 different types. I know of very fue. Vampire goth PunkGoth- The original goth AngryGoth- Get very mad easely tend to hate everything WannabeGoth- Tend to be younger children (12-16) who are still looking for there school Clique In reality there is as many "breeds" of goth as there are goths Because being a goth is really about being an individual and being yourself.
Goth was origanally started in the 20's-40's in basically either undeground or ghetto England. It also would have been modernally caterogorized as a form of "punk goth". It eventually began to expand into other things which are now known as "punk", "emo", or other types of goth. The stereotypical Goth is a huge mistake though. Clothing which Goth's got from different time periods depends on the type of goth. Glitter goth, cyber goth, romantic goth, classic goth, and vampire goth. These styles started at through different parts in times. Goth is not about being depressed or wearing all black. Goth's are encouraged to wear different color clothing but always with black as a base. Goth was and is still do this day about being yourself. Hope this helps a bit.
Of course they can. Goths can be any age, race, gender, etc. Anyone can be a goth, and nobody can tell you that you cannot be a goth. Being goth is a decision you make, just like you choose your religion, your sexuality, etc.
Pigeons are not emo or goth. They are birds, and I don't think they would appreciate being in a clique. D:
If you're the opposite of a goth or Emo (those are two different things by the way. They should not confuse them) and people think you are them, then they don't know what a true Goth is. It's a state of mind before it's a style. Just because you wear black doesn't make you Goth. Either way, tell them that they don't know what a true Goth is, and ignore it. Besides, you shouldn't be that ashamed of being called Goth. If your child feels that they want to be goth let them do it just NO BAD MUSIC!!!!
Not necessarily. Enjoying the same music as goths doesn't automatically make you goth. Goth is more about embracing a certain aesthetic, mindset, and subculture that goes beyond just musical preferences.
Being a goth. There is no secret goth cabal that goes around checking to see if you are a 'real goth' (and by the way there is no such thing as a 'real goth').Goth is a lifestyle , fashion, music .art .If you are interested in exploring the gothic subculture please visit Gothic Charm School. com wich is a vey helpful and friendly site created by a lovely lady by the name of Jillian Venters.This really isn't in my category of 'knowledge' but the kinda is something to being goth, that not very many people have. goth isn't all about wearing black, being dark and what not. It's something else, and i know im not goth, but that's how it is, its just like being emo, or scene, or retro. You can't just 'be' any of those you want if you don't fully understand it, or even know what it is, like, alot of posers these days are trying to be scene, emo, ect, when they even kno what it is.
