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. 

3. Learn as much as you can. Start learning facts about Goth subculture by doing some research from the internet. Also, please be honest if you don’t know something that is related to the Goth subculture and do not pretend that you do know. Don’t feel embarrassed in admitting that you do not know something. Remember that not even Elder Goths know everything. 4. Start Reading. Many Goths love to read. (In fact, Goth subculture got it's name from a literary genre in the late 1800's, known as "Gothic"--which in turn got it's name from an architecture style seen in Medieval churches--which in turn got it's name from an ancient Germanic tribe). Suggested authors include Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Christopher Marlowe, Anne Rice, Storm Constantine, Ellen Schreiber, Melissa Marr and The Brontë sisters. But you can read some books that are from different authors and you don’t have to read books from authors that are suggested here. A lot of Goths like sci-fi or fantasy, but don't read something you're not interested in. Goths would rather learn about what you are interested in than discuss something you clearly only read to 'look Goth'!

6. Try to buy some magazines. There are some dark themed magazines that give you lots of information that are related to Goth subculture. Dark themed magazines are Asleep by Dawn Magazine, Deathrock Magazine, Drop Dead Magazine, and Gothic Beauty. Those magazines can give you good ideas and inspirations on outfits. Also, some interesting articles about music.
