1. goth

   Goth is a cultural style that emerged from post-punk in the late 1970s, primarily in the United Kingdom. It is associated with a certain aesthetic, music genres, fashion, and worldview. The gothic aesthetic often includes elements of darkness, horror, romanticism, and Victorian influences. It is commonly characterized by dark attire (often black), dyed hair, heavy makeup with a particular emphasis on pale foundation and dark eyeliner. Musically, it includes genres like goth rock, post-punk, darkwave, and deathrock. Literature, cinema, and philosophy, particularly incorporating themes of existentialism, nihilism, death, and the supernatural, have a significant influence on the goth culture as well.
