Goths subculture
The
Goth subculture
is
a
subculture found in many countries. It began in England during the early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk genre. The Goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from the 19th century Gothic literature along with horror films.Slide2
History of the development
The name of Goths and gothic music genre appeared in 1980s. The author of it is unknown.
The first group called as ‘Gothic’ was Joy Division. According to another version, their name
came
from Andy MacCaliot, who was a vocalist of gothic-rock group Sex Gang
Children and he got a nickname «Graf Visigoth» from Ian Astbury from Southern Death Cult, and his fans were called ‘Goths’. In October 1983 Tom Vague referred to ‘Hordes of Goths’ in ‘Zig Zag’ magazine and when, their name and subculture surely stayed in our history. That time this epithet meant barbarian, not gothic, but soon this meanings became similar.

Arguments about gothic music
Goths
subculture was forming above the genre of gothic rock, which was one of the new wave branches. The main groups of this genre had emerged in the late 70s and early 80s. After that, the influence of gothic rock spread to other genres. Now, different kinds of music , deemed as gothic by critics, are popular in Goths subculture. But the arguments about the music which can be named gothic and which can not are still continue.Slide6
First Gothic rock groups
Groups of the first wave of gothic rock
:
Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Cure, Joy Division were closely connected with punk-rock, except that they had the slow rhyme and minor melody. Slide7
The Cure
The Cure
are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with
front man,
vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album
Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre.Slide8
Sex Gang Children
Sex Gang Children
are a post-punk or positive punk (the precursory term for gothic rock) group that formed in the early 1980s in England. Although the original group only released one official studio album, their singles and various other tracks have been packaged into numerous collections, and they remain one of the more well-known bands of the early Batcave scene and have reformed for new albums and touring at various times since the early 1990s.Slide9
Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson
(born
Brian Hugh Warner
; January 5, 1969) is an American musician, artist and former music journalist known for his controversial stage persona and image as the lead singer of the eponymous band Marilyn Manson. Marilyn Manson is of Polish-German origin. His stage name was formed from juxtaposing the names of two 1960s American cultural icons, namely actress Marilyn Monroe and convicted multiple murder
convict Charles Manson as a critical and, simultaneously, laudatory appraisal of America and its peculiar culture. The seemingly outrageous styles for which he models and the controversy surrounding his lyrics have led to his public appeal.Slide10
In conclusion
I
n conclusion, we can say that the Goths do not have their own outlook. Everything that forms this subculture is just parties, music and clothing. Actually, some British scientists say that belonging to
Goths has good influence to
young
people. In their opinion, unlike other subcultures, gothic subculture encourages intellectual
self-development and would like Goths to receive classic education. Very often Goths become wed-master, programmers and journalists.Slide11
