For your average outsider, ‘goth’ is a bit of a catch-all term — for the less informed, any misanthropic youth with a spiked bracelet. To some, this only makes the specific subculture of goth — an entrenched lifestyle that considers itself different from the worlds of punk or metal — even more mysterious. But even when it’s mixed up with neighboring countercultures, goth’s complete dedication to dramatic darkness has made it a hardy underworld that refuses to be swallowed or diluted, and embraces the mystery that enshrouds it.
