I have done some research on goths, i was trying to find what goths believe in to see if there was an underlying message they were trying to convey. The best research i found was on blogs, were it's more of a discussion between strangers, the answers i got were mostly that they acknowledge that evil things happen in the world and death happens and choose to wear black clothes and listen to particular music to show that. It is also called a subculture by some, although i dont specifically categorise it as one, as i think its just a belief almost like a religion, which wears other clothes to other people.
It gets me thinking if people call groups who wear different clothes and listen to different music a subculture as its not the norm, then what is the norm? Are we supposed to just wear boring clothes and listen to whats on BBC radio? who says that we are the norm and not goths? I feel like calling people a subculture because they are different is almost like a way of control, and this is why people would want to fight back like the classical subcultures because who wants to be put in a box?
