why is the 5 pointed star and the anarchy symbol associated with goths?

Question

Also is there an actual name for the 5 pointed star

Answer 1

A 5 pointed star is also known as a pentacle. Inside a circle it is a pentagram.

many Wiccan and witch - and some pagans - have adopted the symbol, and a part of Goth culture is to adapt and adopt religious symbols as well. I've seen some huge and ornate crusifixes on "goths" as well.

The "Goth" culture is also seen as an offshoot of the older Punk movement; anarchy is the batle cry of the punk culture. It's just another adaptation.

For a lot of Goths - but not all - the whole thing is a form of social rebellion.

Answer 2

they aren't really associated with goths. It is more the other way around. Goths associate with these 2 symbols because of what they represent. The 5 pointed star, or pentacle/pentagram, represents the 4 elements, earth, fire, water and air and the additional point at the top represents spirit. The pentacle is very symbolic for Pagans and is used during rituals. The anarchy symbol was brought to the fore by punks in the late 60's/early 70's however not all punks are anarchists and not all anarchists are punks. Just as I am sure that not all goths are anarchists or pagans.

Answer 3

The anarchy symbol is associated with punks and goths because these groups have adopted it as their own. To them, it stands for disorder, chaos, and/or violence; basically as a way to rebel against authority. Unfortunately, most punks and goths call themselves anarchists without having much of an idea as to what anarchism really is. Rather than being based on violence and chaos, anarchism is a philosophy that seeks to achieve true human freedom. In today's society, even in countries that are supposedly based on individual liberty, people are repressed in many ways. Most of this repression comes from governments which exist solely to protect the interests of a wealthy, powerful, and elite segment of society. The majority of the people are exploited by these elitists in order to increase their own wealth and power. Anarchists, therefore, do believe that all types of authority are based on a power system which limits an individual's freedom. It is a much more peaceful, organized, and complex movement than many goths, punks, or average people realize.

Answer 5

The 5-pointed star facing upwards is a pagan symbol, upside-down means satanism. Both are usually rebellions against Christian society, as Christians hate that stuff.

The anarchy symbol just means anarchy ie get rid of the government. Associated with goths, punks, and well anyone who just hates everything and feels like rebelling... with jewellery.

Answer 7

possibly that's a logo to tutor that they help communism lol. ok so perchance not because of the reality that they are firms that do love their money and being communist might kinda be counterproductive, sure? in any case, i don't think of any of them have an occult connection, yet its achieveable. The Freemasons do use stars and so its not impossible that the folk who own/began those companies have been Masons. or possibly i'm purely a variety of conspiracy nuts?
