Goths

Goths - a subculture founded in the late 70s and the 80 Twentieth century with the post punk movement. It is associated with Gothic music derived from the current cold wave, guests also listen to gothic metal, doom metal, progressive metal and symphonic metal, and, especially recently, industrial music, and industrial-mail. Most of ready shows an interest in the occult, literature, art, vampires, or Norse mythology - especially in Slavic countries - Slavic mythology. But there are also guests interested in the topics of (mystical) Christian and Gnostic. Guests interested in poetry, literature, there are usually fairly intelligent person, or who consider themselves as such. On the other hand, there is no indicator of interest, which connect the members of the movement. Gothic subculture is seen as "dark" and for outsiders often incomprehensible. The general opinion stereotype reigns eternally sorrowful, self-inflicted in gota. In addition, many people mistakenly equate the gothic subculture of Satanism. In fact, guests despite his fascination with darkness, have nothing to do with the worship of Satan.

The place of integrating the community today, after the death of Beksiński is primarily Castle Party festival held annually in Bolkowie. There is also a huge (for the number of viewers) festival in Leipzig, Germany, Wave-Gotik-Treffen. The subculture is, however, not uniform due to the influence of electronic music, punk, death metal, black metal, neofolk, industrial, and other trends, so that within it there are disputes about the definition of what is Gothic.
