To become a goth means to embody a certain nature. The Goth worldview is based on individuality.
Each goth can interpret individuality in his own way. Gothic can be lived in the soul, without showing any external changes. Therefore, without changing outwardly, you will have to change your character, your mood inside the soul - to be depressive-romantic, closed, and at the same time strive to assert yourself. Goths are quite sensual personalities and try to see beauty in everything. The main hobby of this subculture has become a craving for the supernatural (mysterious amulets, a cemetery, etc.), some individuals are engaged in witchcraft. Creative personalities in the Gothic world are often met - they are engaged in music, writing poetry, and are fond of painting. Which direction suits you best - you choose, the main thing is that you do not have to dress in black robes and gloomy suits.
If you want to become a goth, you have to give up the stereotypes of society. Goths do not accept the clichés of public opinion and dress codes. Therefore, they are constantly in some kind of isolation from others. In general, the Goths are quite peaceful, they never attack first and do not sacrifice.
To consider yourself a full-fledged goth, a Gothic worldview is enough, but if you want to touch every side of a Goth's life, you need to reincarnate completely, even changing the image.
The image of a goth is considered to be his hallmark - everyone will notice an equipped goth in the crowd. Since the gothic worldview dictates to be an individual, the goth looks quite normal and will not hear a bad word in his address. Most of the young people from the Gothic subculture prefer to wear black robes, dye their hair and nails black, tint their eyes and lips with black on a pale face, and only silver predominates in jewelry.
Changing your nature in yourself, you will have to change your attitude to death. Death for the Goths has been elevated to the level of a fetish. Crosses, skulls, coffins and much more are considered Gothic symbols of death, especially a visit to a cemetery - ancient burials with crypts and other paraphernalia are preferable; works describing death. The Goths understand death as a transit point leading to a better life. In cemeteries, they are attracted by the silence, tranquility and specific philosophical atmosphere.
