The Gothic subculture is a diverse and multifaceted movement that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by its focus on dark and romantic themes, as well as its embrace of non-conformity and individuality.
There is no one definitive way to be Gothic, but there are some commonalities among members of the subculture. Many Goths adopt a dark and mysterious aesthetic, wearing black clothing and accessories, and experimenting with makeup and hairstyles. They may also listen to Gothic music, which often features themes of love, loss, and death.
