A Guild to Becoming Goth?

Question

Who ever finds me a giuld of how to become a goth(thats good) Gets 10 Points.

Answer 1

The key to being a good goth is to NOT follow a guide. If you do what others tell you to do and shop at hottopic and just emulate the mainstream, you're not being nonconformist, and failing at the root desire of goth culture. You end up being just another whiny emokid.
We need more hardcore anti mainstream goth kids in the world, but you have to find your path on your own to be a real one.

Answer 2

Well, you either are or you aren't. I suppose I could tell you a few of the things they do.
Most of them enjoy high gothic literature, music, philosophy, art, architecture, and so on and so forth.

Goth is more a lifestyle or outlook on life than anything. They tend to accept that there are bad things as well as good things in life, rather than 'sweep them under the rug', to say, and pretend they don't exist. They can dress however they want, although many prefer darker colors and more dramatic clothes and makeup, and listen to lots of songs and varied genres of music, which can include but are by no means limited to, new wave, darkwave, ethereal, Celtic, goth rock, punk, postpunk, chants, heavy metal, industrial, Latin, et cetera. Not all are interested in vampires - in fact, relatively few are. Many if not most have good relationships with their parents. Very few have mental or psychological problems. Most are actually quite nice, if a bit saturnine. Very, very, very few are 'satanists' or 'devil worsippers'. Most of the young teenagers who listen to Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Slipknot, Korn, My Chemical Romance, Drowning Pool, et cetera and wear heavy thick makeup and studded spike collars and bracelets are called 'Mall goths', shop mostly at Hot Topic, and - this is important - they're not real goths. They just seem to think they are. They act disturbed and surly and try to impress/intimidate people. It seldom works, as most are obviously pathetic, and almost all will (thankfully) grow out of it. If you'd like a comprehensive explanation, try visiting goth.net. Some songs that goths might listen to:
Dragonfly (Conjure one mix) - Cruxshadows
Dazzle - Siouxsie and the Banshees
In The Flat Field - Bauhaus
Lucretia My Reflection - Sisters Of Mercy
Lullaby - The Cure
She's Lost Control - Joy Division
In Our Angelhood - The Cocteau Twins
Funeral Night - Bella Morte
Deliverance - The Mission UK
Cemetary Gates - The Smiths
Are 'Friends' Electric? - Tubeway Army
Love Is Stronger than Death - The The
Nowhere Girl - B-Movie
Twilight Of The Mortal - Killing Joke
Seconds - The Human League
Indigo Eyes - Peter Murphy
Right Now - The Creatures
Walk on the Moon - Daniel Ash
No Big Deal - Love and Rockets
Fire Woman - The Cult

Answer 3

Probably the Middle Ages, when the Black Death claimed about 2/3 of Europe's population. In terms of European history, any point between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance would have sucked to live in. Really it wasn't until the Industrial Revolution that there was a chance of human conditions improving, and even then conditions were terrible for many people. Also the Jewish population in Europe during the Holocaust, and the Chinese population that was tortured and experimented on by the Japanese during the Sino-Japanese war in the 30's and 40's.

Answer 4

Wear a lot of black, eyeliner, have a bit of attitude (but don't be rude), listen to heavy metal/hard rock, piercings (if you want), etc. To start off, dressing gothic is all you really need to do (Hot Topic is a good store for that), and then when you make friends with gothic people, the rest goes on from there. It's not that hard, my best friend was gothic for a few years and that's pretty much what she did. This doesn't mean that you'll have to abandon the friends you have now, because I was quite preppy when she was gothic and we were really close, so you get my point. Good Luck :]
