how to be goth[转] 1. Listen to Gothic music. Do your research, if only out of respect for the past. Elder Goths, especially, will appreciate a person who has taken time to research. Most Goths tend to listen to a variety of sub-genres known collectively as 'Goth'. Goth contains certain Post-Punk bands (Bauhaus, Joy Division, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Cure), Batcave era (Alien Sex Fiend, Specimen, Sex Gang Children), Second Wave Gothic Rock (Sisters Of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim, London After Midnight), Deathrock (Christian Death, 45 Grave, Kommunity FK) and Darkwave (The Cruxshadows, Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, Wolfsheim). There are also a lot of Goths who listen to Industrial (Skinny Puppy, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult), but this is a separate music genre. Do some research about music that is part of Goth subculture. But, listen to whatever you enjoy! If you want to listen to Gothic music one minute, and then rap, or pop, or country, the next minute, that's great! The most important part of being Goth is staying true to yourself, but be sure to understand and appreciate Gothic music; you can't be a Goth without listening to Goth music. If you don't like Gothic music, you may find that the Gothic subculture is just not for you. 2. Dress the part. Some people have the preconceived notion that the clothes don't matter--they do. Fashion is a huge part of Goth Subculture. You don't have to dress up all the time, but it is a convenient way to let other Goths know that you may have similar interests. If you're interested in 'looking' Goth, then do a little bit of research on the topic. There's more to the fashion than just wearing black! There are many different styles of Gothic clothing. If you choose to dress in Gothic fashion, then find a style that suits who you are! Prominent Gothic styles include 80's/old-school Goth (Batcave/Deathrock) and Victorian (Romantigoth/Romantic-Goth). Also, the Japanese "Gothic Lolita" look is becoming more popular, nowadays. Make sure you do not use costume face paint, it looks horrible! If you wish to fake a pale complexion, mix a white "foundation primer" with a regular foundation, that matches your natural skin tone. Keep in mind that pale skin is not a requirement--Goths of color have many makeup and fashion options available to them. Also, don't just copy a look, make it your own, combine elements of different styles, trying to be unique is a huge part of being Goth. Ease into a new look, otherwise people may assume that you are not genuine, or are merely being trendy.
