The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture found in many countries. It began in the United Kingdom during the early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk genre. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from nineteenth century Gothic literature along with horror films and to a lesser extent the BDSM culture. The goth subculture has associated tastes in music, aesthetics, and fashion, whether or not all individuals who share those tastes are in fact members of the goth subculture. Gothic music encompasses a number of different styles. Styles of dress within the subculture range from deathrock, punk, androgynous, Victorian, some Renaissance and Medieval style attire, or combinations of the above, most often with black attire, makeup and hair.

From Google News Search: "Goth subculture" What is the appeal of the Goth subculture? Q. I used to be Goth when I was a teenager. I guess I never really was because I "used to be" and now I'm not. I do like the sunshine now, however Goths may like the sunshine, and that's just a stereotype. So, what makes one Goth and what is the appeal? Asked by idon'tknowwhoiam - Fri Mar 6 09:47:45 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. For me the appeal of it is the music and to a lesser extent, the fashion and also, as some people have said, the fact that there's like-minded people within in the subculture, although then again I don't really associate with other goths (not in real life anyway), so that doesn't apply to me as much as some people. Actually I guess I always liked things with a dark feel or aesthetic to them ever since I was a kid, so it was natural I'd be attracted to the goth subculture. And I'd say what makes one goth is listening to goth music (real goth music like Bauhaus or Christian Death, for example) and then also participating in the subculture to one extent or another.

Q. I am trying to start a club at my school (university) to promote the culture, interests, fashion, music, etc. of the goth/punk/emo subcultures. They certainly exist on campus but are very scattered. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find and recruit members? What type of social events should such a club hold? What types of things would be interesting to these subcultures? Input is greatly appreciated... I will gladly give 10 points to someone for good suggestions. Asked by JV - Wed Dec 20 15:11:39 2006 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. I was involved with starting up a club last year at my university, so I know how hard it can be. You first have to figure out what the basis of the club is, what the unifying theme will be. In short, you need a name that will draw together the kind of people you want in the club. Then you have to figure out if there are enough people in your college that will want to join. Only about 10% of people want to join a club, so if you've only got a couple of dozen people who might fit the bill, it would be best to forget about it. The best way to get people interested and involved is to hold a party or movie night on campus, and advertise in the halls, classrooms, e-mail, and with other clubs. You probably won't get any funding from the… [cont.] Answered by Ophelia193 - Wed Dec 20 21:09:11 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Goth subculture" |
