Goth: Identity, Style and Subculture

Goths Represent One Of The Most Arresting, Distinctive And Enduring Subcultures Of Recent Times. The Dedication Of Those Involved To A Lifestyle Which, From The Outside, May Appear Dark And Sinister, Has Spawned Reactions Ranging From Admiration To A Larm. Until Now, No One Has Conducted A Full-scale Ethnographic Study Of This Fascinating Subcultural Group. Based On Extensive Research By An 'insider', This Is The First. Immersing Us In The Potent Mix Of Identities, Practices And Values That Make Up The Goth Scene, The Author Takes Us Behind The Faade Of The Goth Mystique. From Dress And Music.
