Goth isn’t Negative

When people think about the term “Goth,” in terms of the pop culture spectrum, their minds immediately go to Marilyn Manson or horror films.  Goth culture in it of itself is not that’s one that is violent, nor filled with hate or negativity.  It’s an expressionist movement inspired by the works of Edgar Allen Poe, William Shakespeare and Baroque art.

Contemporary Goth is something that can be traced back to the television show “Dark Shadows” and embodied by darker pop bands like The Cure, The Smiths or Depeche Mode.  That being said, I love to outfit my nephew in cool Gothic baby clothes.  I realize that some people don’t understand it, but my brother and sister-in-law get a kick out of these cute Goth-inspired wares I find for him, and that’s all that counts.
