* Back in the early centuries, there was a tribe called the visigoths.
* 12th to the 16th century goth was a type of european architecture.
*goth as a type of literature, dark and gloomy
* goth as a movement starting with the punk scene in the late 70's.
* a subculture, music, clothing, a way of life.
Goth has nothing to do with religion, because it is not a religion. each goth makes up their own mind wether they want to a religion in their life or not. therefore goths are NOT satanists, UNLESS they choose.
same with violence, being depressed, killing animals, cutting, suicide, drinking blood, being angry, or anti social......NOT all goths are like this unless they choose.
the problem with society is that it fails to INFORM themselves. they ASSUME too much. just cause a goth wears black they are "evil" or bad or do drugs....I THINK NOT! it doesnt matter what you wear, anyone can be an asshole.
Truth is, and i quote my dead mother, " goths are the nicest people ive ever met".........
Goths are creative, intelligent, openminded people. They could be anyone, your neighbore, your doctor, lawyer, the person sitting next to you at church, you own children. they are everywhere wether they show it or not.
and so what if they wear all black? not all of them do. so are you telling me that just cause people wear black at a funeral, they are all goth? just cause nuns or priests wear black they are goth? think people!!
