What's Gothic ?

Answer 1

The original Goths were an Eastern Germanic tribe who played an important role in the fall of the western Roman Empire. In some circles, the name "goth" later became pejorative: synonymous with "barbarian" and the uncultured due to the then-contemporary view of the fall of Rome and historically inaccurate depictions of the pagan Gothic tribes during and after the process of Christianization of Europe. During the Renaissance period in Europe, medieval architecture was retroactively labeled gothic architecture, and was considered unfashionable in contrast to the then-modern lines of classical architecture.

Answer 2

Gothic is a dark, sometimes morbid, eroticized fashion and style of dress. Typical gothic fashion for women includes gowns, corsets, veils, teased hair, eyeliner, black fingernails, fishnets, and styles borrowed from the Elizabethans and Victorians. Gothic fashion is part of the goth subculture, which consists of individuals who over time have been labeled as goths by early music industry managers of Gothic rock and the gothic music scene.

Answer 3

churches. the Houses of Parliament. Half of that big cathedral in Barcelona ;)

"gothic" the adjective is a generic term for a subculture of western society. particularly a youth-based culture centering around musical appreciation and spirituality. black is a popular clothing choice, as is red and purple though these to a lesser degree. Gothic people of all genders sometimes apply make-up. pale faces, black/red eyes/lips/nails/hair.

It can be seen as a more internal, sensitive and spiritual development of the punk culture from the not too distant past.

Answer 4

Real Gothic isn't what the Goths pretend they are.

Crack a few books and research it yourself. Don't always believe what you are told.
