Goth

Goth is a subculture that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, characterized by an interest in dark, mysterious, and often melancholic aesthetics. Members often express their identity through fashion—think black clothing, dramatic makeup, and unique accessories—as well as through music genres like gothic rock, darkwave, and industrial. Goth culture also embraces themes of individuality, artistic expression, and an appreciation for the romantic, the eerie, and the unconventional. It is a diverse community that values creativity, introspection, and a deep connection to both visual and musical artistry.
