Followers of the Gothic subculture can be defined as those who love Gothic rock, Gothic literature, Victorian and medieval history, and contemporary horror film. Members of this subculture are often quite accepting and nonviolent intellectual individuals who are sometimes a little cynical about the evils of society and have a fascination with death. Its members take pride in being distinct from the dominant culture and their dark dress style indicates an option to separate themselves from conventional norms and standards. Today this sub culture involves a mixture of music, literature, art and clothing. A gothic listens to gothic music, uses black clothes and unusual jewelry. Both men as women often use particular makeup. The Goths want to represent with their look death and decay; the colors black and dark red are of great importance. Historical background
The Gothic subculture, especially the earlier generations, were pretty much influenced by Romanticism, or a style of art and literature that emerged in the late 1700s until the early 1800s.
