The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture prevalent in many countries. It began in the United Kingdom during the late 1970s to early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk genre. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from nineteenth century Gothic literature, mainly through horror movies.

The goth subculture has associated gothic tastes in music and fashion. Gothic music encompasses a number of different styles. Common to all is a tendency towards a “dark” sound and outlook. Styles of dress within the subculture range from death rock, punk, androgynous, some Renaissance and Victorian style clothes, or combinations of the above, most often with black attire, makeup and hair.

There are other things that are gothic, like art and architecture. I agree with the first response. Look on wikipedia.

Gothic describes a type of architecture prominent in the 1800s but what you are probably talking about can be found on wikipedia. The goth culture is alot more than just wearing black and "acting" depressed. It's as far as a religion, a way of life.

It means you wear black clothes, listen to dire music and wear heavy make up. It also means you state your right to be individual but you dress like all your friends.

it means you like to wear your mom's black eyeliner, the darkest clothes possible, and act like your constantly depressed, and you probably pretend to like The Cure
