Goth Culture: Inside a Goth Life Style

When a person thinks of Gothic style they think black, evil, destructive, blood, and horror. But what is it really? I went around to talk to all my Goth stereo type friends, got into their heads and really examined the Gothic culture. I guess the reasons I did this is because of all the labeling of "bad" seems to be directed to those who call themselves "Goth".

First of all, there are a few different types of goth and I will thoroughly examine each one of them for your convenience.

I'll start with the Mod Goth. Now the Mod Goth is a person who wears punk style clothing, they have perky attitudes about life in general, they are extremely into the 1980's era, and enjoy a good conversation about anything. The Mod Goth likes extreme adventure but they don't go over the illegal boundaries of getting arrested for being adventurous souls. They will be found in local cafe's, open all night resturants, and in cheery parks. The Mod Goth's music criteria: The Clash, The Cure, Tones On Tail, Simple Minds, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Yaz, Bauhaus, and Berlin - just to name a few. The Mod Goth's movie criteria: Pretty In Pink, Ferris Buellers Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Real Genius, War Games, and One Crazy Summer just to name a few of these also.

A Mod Goth could care less about politics or religion. They care more about self efficiency, their carreer, and where their friends are moving off to in the world. They see life as a poem or some lyric in a 1980's song. They are people friendly but keep closed until they know a person entirely. Being friends with a Mod Goth takes a lot of time because they seem so mysterious. But as soon as they let you into their circle, you are considered family to them. Most Mod Goth's have turned to the Rockabilly genre due to the Emo's taking in on the spotlight of culture now.
