Answer 2

Goth in its simplest form, is a subculture. A group of people who feel comfortable within each others company. There is no specific thing that defines what you need to do or be to fit into the goth scene (except of course the implied black clothing). People in the goth scene all have different musical tastes, follow different religions, have different occupations, hobbies, and fashion sense.
Modern goth (ignoring where the name itself originally comes from) started in the early 80's as part of the punk subculture (which is itself was a rejection of most societal values, and anything considered part of the 'norm'). The phrase was coined by the band manager of Joy Division, Anthony H. Wilson, who described the band as 'Gothic compared with the pop mainstream'. The term stuck, and as punk eventually died, Goth survived and became its own subculture. The punk clothing and hairstyles mellowed, and the core 'rejection of society' attitude alone lived on in the gothic subculture. Over time this itself has been modified to be more of a 'no more blind acceptance of society's values' as opposed to rejection because it was there to be rejected (and because you could get away with it!).

I dont see goth as a style I think of goth as a state of mind and a type of music.

Answer 4

the term is one of the worst in daily language. The goth community never ceases to amuse me with their stupidity. What the hell. Them and withches. What are you people twelve? Halloween comes but ONCE a year, not 364 times. And this comment is comming from someone who considrs himself open minded. I'm sure i could find things to agree with with one or two goths out there, but c'mon. Stop closet case worshiping satan.
