Content: In fact, many gothic teens consider themselves to be Christians or they subscribe to other traditional religious beliefs. In addition, you might even find a gothic teen who is interested in family values or votes Republican. Others might be interested in anarchy as a form of government. As for music, punk rock is the most popular genre among gothic teens, but many times their musical interests are broader than that, ranging from Frank Sinatra to Rob Zombie. In short, being a gothic teen does not mean that your son or daughter is evil or obsessed with death and Satan. As a matter of fact, one can have a wide range of interests and still be considered gothic. The gothic attitude is one that is more geared toward the darker side of life. In many cases, a gothic teen is trying to fit in with others who have similar beliefs and outlooks on life. Typically, gothic groups, or “cliques,” are teens who have been ostracized by the other groups in the school. They are generally unaccepted by others because they are more interested in thinking about the intricacies of life.
