🦇Talking a little about the origins of the gothic subculture

First of all we need to define what a subculture is. Subculture is a specific segment within a broader culture, characterized by distinct values, beliefs, norms and patterns of behavior, forming a way of life shared by a part of the population.

🦇The gothic subculture had its origins in the late 70s, mainly in the British musical context. The movement emerged as a response to the punk scene that predominated at the time, presenting a darker and more introspective aesthetic and thematic approach.

🦇Bands like Bauhaus, formed in 1978, are often considered pioneers of the gothic sound, characterized by melancholic atmospheres, poetic lyrics and a unique mix of musical influences.

🦇The post-punk period was crucial to the development of the goth subculture, and nightclubs like the Batcave in London played a vital role in bringing together individuals who shared a taste for a darker, artsy aesthetic.

🦇"Gothic fashion" began to consolidate itself in this environment, with the prominent use of dark clothes, dramatic makeup and accessories that reflected a more romantic and Victorian sensibility.

🦇In addition to music and fashion, the gothic subculture also embraced other forms of artistic expression, such as gothic literature, visual art and cinema.
