Gothic Culture: History and Main Characteristics
The gothic culture is a sub culture that adopts dark elements of fashion like black clothes, black hair, dark eyeliner, black nails and old clothes. It is also related to the musical genre of Gothic rock and with a range of artistic genres. The Gothic sub culture has tastes associated with music, aesthetics, and fashion. The music of gothic subculture involves a number of different styles, including gothic rock, industrial rock, post punk and neoclassical. Dress styles within this sub culture range from Victorian styles, punk and deathrock or even combinations of these branches. The aesthetics of this sub culture is associated with dark (often black) attire, pale facial makeup and black hair. The Gothic sub-culture began in England in the mid-1980s, where it developed from the gothic rock scene, in turn a variation of the genre and post-punk movement. This subculture has survived much longer than others of its own time and has continued to diversify and spread throughout the world.
