I think goth began in the early 1980s, during the post-punk period. Punk had its heyday in the seventies, and by 1982, punk as a movement was over. Around this time -- the early eighties -- punk was morphing into two very different styles of music: hardcore punk like Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys, and new-wave bands like Depeche Mode and the Cure. And Depeche Mode and the Cure are basically the archetypal, prototypical goth bands. So, I would say that goth began in the early-to-mid 80s as part of the new wave movement, and then split off into its own genre as the 80s progressed.
Rock/Metal, Goth-inspired music.
Gothic music
neither marilyn manson and slipknot are goth. marilyn manson is associated with mall goths or spooky kids, and slipknot is a nu metal band. however, you can totally be goth and listen to these amazing artists, you just have to listen to real goth music in addition to it such as the cure, the sisters of mercy, bauhaus, and siouxsie and the banshees. also, goth isn’t just music taste. it’s an aesthetic, a lifestyle, a way of thinking, and a general preference for dark things. hope this helps xx

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!
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.
If she actually liked real goth and emo music. Keyword: REAL.

A European Gothic person. Evanescence is sometimes considered to fall into the euro goth music genre.
She's pop. Listen to her music. She's not emo or goth... she just follows whatever "style" is in.

You might identify as a goth if you feel a strong connection to the aesthetic and culture surrounding goth music, fashion, and art, often characterized by dark clothing, dramatic makeup, and an appreciation for the macabre. Additionally, a sense of individuality and a fascination with themes of melancholy, existentialism, or the supernatural may resonate with you. Engaging with goth subculture through music, literature, or community can further affirm your identity. Ultimately, it’s about personal expression and how you relate to the goth ethos.
To adopt a goth style, you can start by wearing black clothing, dark makeup, and accessories like skulls or crosses. You can also listen to goth music and explore gothic literature to understand the culture better. Remember, being goth is about expressing your individuality and embracing darker aesthetics.
