Gothic aesthetic: love for expressionism and black and white

Black hair, black trousers, black make-up, black shoes, white base, metal ornaments, sadness in the eyes, no smile and few friends are probably the most common characteristics of those people who had gothic style as their own lifestyle. For them, being gothic is only not being sensitive, reading the damn poets and listen to Lacrimosa, being Gothic is also being able to seduce acquaitances and frighten strangers.

Their strange and dark clothing can also project a wrong idea of what they are. Appearance and dress are something purely aesthetic to the Gothic people. They are able to see beauty in the dark, mysterious, and not necessarily what it provides society as beautiful. The preferences of the Gothic people focus on the black clothing of velvet, leather, PVC, latex, rubber or vinyl in combination, sometimes with white, blue and red, jewelry accessories manufactured in silver, mostly Victorian or ancient symbols, makeup pale and ghostly, perforations and tattoos, point shoes or military boots.



They do not wears black clothing to draw the attention of the people, nor see the skulls as a hobby. The visual aesthetic they take involves a character of solitude, anguish before the destruction of the world, fascination with darkness and intelligence.

Zeltzin Miquiztli, a Mexican gothic girl, confesses "I am very fetish." Not only the skulls are among her obsession, but anything that has to do with the darkness and power, music and literature. Her most intimate belongings include a pin doll, which exacerbates the mood of the family, as well as the black lining the walls of his room.

Gothic style as a lifestyle is based on the pain in a particular perception of death, fear, depression and love.
