Goths Dress the way they do to protest a miserable and dying postmodern society full of evils people would rather ignore and then use pathetic devices such as religion to direct blame off of the people who deserve blame. The clothes also represent breaking free from repression of physical appearances or to protest traditional ideas of beauty such as how advertising represses people by making them feel guilty for being overweight, ugly, too skinny, socially awkward, shy, and sexually depraved.






Gothic clothing is meant to be a deep and meaningful outward expression of what goths feel and think inwardly about the world around them.


Also, if you wear all black you'll find that it gives you a feeling of protection, it feels like it keeps you safe and shields you almost. This is another likely reason why Goths wear black.

How is white and black different and say it with detail?

White objects reflects visual "light" where as black objects absorb it. black the color is every color so it absorbs all the light(every color in the spectrum), and white is the lack of color so it reflects all the light(every color in the spectrum) that's why you get warmer when you wear black in the sun because it absorbs the sun and white reflects it.

Do goths always wear black?

black is my fave color and other goths wear it too. some wear it all the time and some wear it and the other colors. so no. red is the color of blood and love. my friend (also a goth as well as her sister) wore a blood-red dress on her wedding and the bridesmaids wore black. she didn't have it in the church, though. she wanted it under a giant redwood in a graveyard. She loves scary things, which makes us so alike and that story had more red than black. I do wear black dresses and I wear black alot, but not 100 per cent.
