Would this be considered a fashion trend of the 2000 decade? Or is it something of a cult?

For most, just what they like to wear. While they may have some concepts in common, don't think it is any more of a "cult" than the hippies were (in my day! LOL!!). "We" just liked to wear tie-dye, hip huggers, etc. and believe in free love & peace.

It's not really anything that new. IMHO goths look like punk members of the Addams family. The character Winona Ryder played in Beetlejuice, she was a goth. That kid that has the sign fall on him at the bicentennial celebration in Final Destination III, he was a goth. As to whether they are a cult, nah. They're what you would call a subculture. I don't really know much about them besides what they look like. I'm not even certain if their thing is mainly centered around a type of music, a certain philosophy, or if it's mainly a fashion thing or more likely a combination of the three. I will say they're pretty cool looking.

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.

You blather approximately "warding off huge media" and yet you link a tale from sunlight Sentinel? Abortions can basically be performed in the process the 1st trimester- that the 1st 3 months. After that abortions are seen unlawful different than in circumstances the place the mother's existence is in threat. this would not recommend the legal equipment recognizes a 4 month previous fetus as a "individual". For one difficulty, a 4 month previous fetus can not stay to tell the story exterior of the womb...

Gothic fashion represents the darkness of our realm. Goths particularly enjoy rain, dreadfulness and are attracted to all that is evil. Not all goths are followers of the darkness, about 70% of goths do so because it's a big fashion trends. Only the few of us, the true goths, are the true followers of evil. There is no light for them in the end of any tunnel.

it's not usally out of a cult, it's something that can come from the way the really feel, it's a trend that they really like, it's just that they love it, or maybe they need people to help them? maybe it's a cry to people. I personally love the way they look, it's something I would wear, however I'm in a difficult situation to wear them.

They wear black eyeliner and lipstick, black clothes and body peircings. Think Wednesday Addams. It is a fashion trend, or even a subculture but not a cult. I do not know how that look developed. Some people are happy to look sad.

its mostly a fashion trend, but some people treat it like a cult. the new word for goth is "emo".
they were pretty much all black, die their hair and usually have major atitude issues.

It is noneconformist to say the least and is an outward sign of rebelion against society.I seriously doubt it will ever become a trend!It is I feel an issue of poor self confidence for confident folk do not follow others they lead
