Goth is a subculture shaped by shadowed melodies, theatrical fashion, and deep emotional expression. It's a refuge for the outcast and a movement for those who feel more alive in the dark. what-is-goth is an information site that covers all aspects of the goth lifestyle including music, art, and fashion. I disagree. Goth isn’t something that was created in the 70’s because it always was but it is when the term "Gothic" came about to describe the new bands that came about then. There isn't a colour code to Goth fashion and Goths definitely don’t always wear black. A Pastel Goth's heart is as dark as a Goth's who wears all black. The goth subculture is centered around fashion, music festivals, clubs, and organized meetings. Styles of dress within the subculture draw on glam rock, punk, new wave, new romantics and from the fashion of earlier periods such as the Victorian, Edwardian, and Belle Époque eras.
