gothic

You must already know what it gothic.
    Gothic word itself is still not clear what, perhaps because there are no scientists who studied the issue, so it's up to each of you wrote that what is considered gothic.
        The word gothic is actually taken from a tribe called the Visigoths in germany, this tribe is known for his loyalty and this tribe is the tribe who is also the most in fear because of the roman empire has struck back and said to these tribes had ever defeated by the Muslims. gothic style architectural style that is very thick with shades of sinister and gloomy, if you look at medieval churches in Europe are sinister and gloomy shades of many who wear gothic-style architecture, even according to the Nabawi mosque is also a little history of the architecture of the gothic style was probably for people who pray there will remember the sins, eat there if they say a little prayer there, the atmosphere is spooky.
         Many who thought that the flow gothic satanic, because a singer who always dressed goth Marilyn Manson is appointed by Anton LaVey as Satan pastor at the church, but are not, many of the gothess (gothic lovers) are still holding strong beliefs, indeed they always look unnatural and creepy but it does not prove that their wing satanic.
characteristics of the gothess: 1. always dressed all in black and combined with pale colors 2. a different hairstyle with other people 3. pallor 4. quiet, loyal and courageous 5. etc.
The gothess usually tend to hurt herself because they often get depressed, desperate, dysfunctional families, childhood is dark, angry, disappointed, sad and hate, besides that they also believe that after death there will be an eternal life.
Now about the music, maybe you already know the music on the wing is very close to the gothic sound very Slowly, gothic music usually always had two vocalists, one female vocalist with a voice sumprano and a male vocalist with a loud voice (scream), commonly called with the beauty and the beast. and the lyrics are full of depression, disappointment, resentment, sadness, rebellion and resistance that stopped in the street.
There are multiple streams of gothic, such as: gothic classic: Epica and Haggard, Nightwish, gothic black metal: The Sins of thy beloved, Theatre of Tragedy and gothic rock: after forever, Within Temptation and many more, there is also a pure gothic, gothic choir, gothic doom metal, etc..

From the gothic history comes from the plains of Europe, and the band-band gothic too many and growing in the plains of Europe, like: Within Temptation, Teather of Tragedy, Nightwist, Xandria and so forth. So, a big mistake that was the pioneer band Evanescence Evanescence is not goth because it comes from Europe and the songs commercially therefore there is no culture that intersect with the gothic.
Gothic music, gothic indeed nuanced but not black like the band black metal band with a pentagram symbol and hexagran. So do not tend towards gothic satanic, because it is embracing satanic black metal.
