Post-punk bands popular with goths include Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees (Siouxsie Sioux being a major fashion inspiration for gothic women even now), Adam and the Ants (like Siouxsie Sioux, Adam Ant was a major influence on gothic fashion), and Killing Joke. Examples of goth rock bands include Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy, Fields Of The Nephilim, and The Cure.

As such, listening to both goth rock and some post-punk is a basic requirement for participation within the subculture.

The gothic subculture began with a certain genre of music, which we now recognize as Goth Rock but was originally considered no different than other Post-Punk.

In order to be considered truly goth, one must fulfill the majority of the following requirements (in order from least important to most important): Woe betide the person who gets these cultures confused in real life.Īlthough there is a sort of goth template, this template is built upon and changed dramatically to suit the individual's tastes. (Teenagers sometimes think they invented it.) And just to keep things clear, goths are markedly different from emo people. Please note: Goth as a subculture dates to the late '70s. While, like BDSM, there is some overlap between the two subcultures, and the post- Victorian vampire can be considered a goth icon, equating the two in the presence of a goth can be hazardous to your health. There is also a tendency to equate goths with vampire wannabes and the vampire-obsessed. Of course, thanks to Hot Topic and its ilk, goth has been hijacked by a large number of people who think it's nothing but a fashion statement, making for a sort of Truth in Television that utterly infuriates (or nihilistically amuses, see above) "true" goths, though extending a hand to "baby bats" who may genuinely be interested in digging deeper is generally viewed as a necessary duty (that fifteen-year-old kid in a Blackcraft shirt and ripped black skinny jeans with a fake grill who mostly listens to Soundcloud rap and Marilyn Manson very well could become a good friend of yours in five years, after all), and gatekeeping behavior is heavily frowned upon (though it does unfortunately happen).

It's worth noting that goth is neither a skin tone nor a fashion statement, so most media tend to treat goth characters almost as if it were a fashion or fad for a darker Cutie to go after. Most goths in fiction will be presented as a Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette who wear only black, leather getups, suntan at night and listen to loud depressing music. They usually grow out of their "existential depression" with the flip of a switch, unless their being a goth is the entire premise of the show. In this case, they're generally "cosmetic" goths who are in it just to rebel against their parents, or as "poseurs" who only want in on the fashion statement. Unless, of course, it's Played for Laughs by making him the black sheep in a The Brady Bunch-style family with no real psychological beef. Almost guaranteed in either case to have some kind of family-related drama, usually used as a " justification" for their personality - you will never see a fictional goth who just happens to be the way they are without some tragic reasoning behind it.

They may have trace personality traits of the Wangsty type or the more dedicated Nihilist, though they often don't go far enough to be the Straw Nihilist. Sometimes, this character is a Deadpan Snarker and/or the sympathetic version of The Snark Knight. They are usually pale skinned with some Vague and Grave Affliction (or, even more often, act lethargic and look unwell even though nothing is actually wrong with them).
