What is your opinion on Gothic people? What are there beliefs and why black?

They're fine by me.  They don't always wear black.  In fact, you don't alway know a real goth when you see them.  They're goth because of their point of view, which accepts the good and bad in life, not how they dress.

Black is void of anything. So traditionally, story tellers and Spiritual leaders choose black. It is sort of scary to see something with no reflective value and devoid of light, don't you think?? I wouldn't be scared of a woman or man in pink, in an alley!  would you?

Goths generally like certain kinds of music, but that doesn't mean they hate everything else. I like some kinds of R&B, hip=hop and rap. You've most likely only been exposed to the fakey stuff on the radio. That's not real rap or hip-hop. And it probably isn't the music you hate, it's the ideas; misogyny, violence, materialism, the glorification of poverty and ignorance. Take away these unflattering items and all you have left is a style of singing and musical beats that may or may not be to your liking. Hope that cleared things up! ;)

Goth primarily is about music and fashion.  In my opinion it grew out of the new wave music scene when things started to get 'dark' in sound.  It's interrelated to industrial music as well and you'll find most goths tend to be into industrial.  The social center of the goth scene tends to be the nightclubs where people put on their finest goth threads and go out and mingle with other goths and listen to music. It's fun, it's sexy, and for the most part that's as deep as it gets.\n\nUnlike punk, goth has no consensual political viewpoint.\n\nIn short, it's all about the music.

Gothic couples run the gambit in terms a happiness, kindness, weirdness, ect., just like any other couples.  Both my husband and I are commonly refered to as gothic, and most people of our aquantence say that we're nice, albeit quiet.  Yet I know some that are completly disfunctional.

No way, are you kidding me?\n\nYou're just expressing yourself... if anything you may be a little rebellious. That's completley normal and understandable.\n\nBesides... what you described is not what a "Goth" person is.\n\nAnd a person cannot be "Gothic". They can be a "Goth". The term "Gothic" refers to a form of architecture... you know, a lot of churches are "Gothic"-looking.\n\nDon't change, express yourself the way that you want.

No, of course not. I see questions like yours every day or other, and it's just because gothic subculture is something you don't know about. Don't worry about it; there is good and bad in goth, like every subculture everywhere. Here: try visiting net.goth, and click on the column on the left that says 'goth?' for a good explanation. I've answered questions like yours before, and made lists of gothic music and traits. If you look under my Best Answers you can find a lot of information on music goths like and lots of other good stuff. Wish you the best of luck.

Black metal is know for its anti religiousness... its like trying to find a single religious  metal band... there arent many.  But Theocracy is the only metal band that I know of that is religious, they are not black metal.  You can try obscenity.

so far the majority of the people who have answered your question don't have a clue. it is beautiful in its own right. and the girl who wrote that goth and punk are way different is completelly correct. Personally, it suits me. but those who say it is just a phase, or for angsty teens, have no idea what they are talking about.

Welcome to the wonderful world of stereotyping! I am GodlyGothboy, and I will be your tour guide today. I am a Goth by way of style. I am also a Christian. People, some in my church, have called me a satan worshiper, a rebel, an evil person, a witch, etc. That is what we call stereotyping. I'm sure you are a very nice person, and you just have to get used to people being that way toward you.\nSorry, but its just the way things are!

No, goths won't hurt you.  Don't you watch the news, its the seemingly normal people who do the crazy things.  As for gothic culture, being goth has nothing to do with what clothes you wear or music you listen to, it is a way of thinking and seeing the world. The clothes that goths wear and the music that goths listen to is just a reflection of that mindset. Goths see that there is extreme pain and evil in the world, along with the good. Instead of condemning it or ignoring it, goths accept these things as a part of life and try and enjoy the good along with the bad, since they can't stop the bad from happening. They are not obsessed with death, they just accept it as an inevitability. They do not try and cause more pain in their (or anybody else's) lives, since there is plenty to start with.  Goths tend to be kind, intelligent, non-violent, emotional, and artistic.

If you really want to know, go to Wikipedia. Also, goth came from punk. They do, thus, have many shared musical and aesthetic tendencies.
