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 lives, since there is plenty to start with;but they try to enjoy that pain. Goths tend to be kind, intelligent, non-violent, emotional, and artistic.
Why do people hate Goths?Lack of understanding leads to fear and fear leads to hate. There are lots of similarities between Goths and minorities in terms of their irrational treatment by the mainstream media and the general public.
Are Goths Satanist?Some are but most are not. Some goths are Wiccans, Pagans, Taoists, Christians,Muslims and many others are not religious or even spiritual at all. Goths are not one religion in particular.
What the others think of Goth?Goths are mostly left and ignored if i don't say feared by people.People think that goths are crazy,weird and pathetic persons who worship satan,love pain and death...But they get it wrong,goths are some people who tend to darkness and sorrow cause they're aware of the pain sealed in this world and they express that in some kind of noble art.
To conclude,Goths are not those ones who dress goth,cause most of those are just trying to attract people by their look and don't know anything about goth...Goth is and will stay a soul statu that sees the world as it should be seen.
