The history of Gothic fashionThe effects of the British development on the gothic movement, began to take surface in the nineteen eighties. It was proceeded by punk, which came into fruition at the end of the seventies, when there was a need for a non conformist community. There are stipulations, that the gothic fashion came about as a retaliation, against the punk culture. However, they seemed to share some of the same needs and tastes in many ways.The music was often driving the sound that was often described as melancholy, gloomy, and morbid. People were enthralled by the new gothic culture, and often found the vampire to be one of the single most important images for the movement.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to give the exact birth date of the gothic culture. At the ending of the seventies, many new groups begin to emerge with a somewhat dark sound, or image. Such as The cure, Banshees, The damned, Ultravox, and Comsat Angels. Their new wave, or dark wave music had much influence on the people who would later take the name of goth. In this day and age, many people held the same conclusion. Many intelligent people were attracted to the goth subculture, it wasn’t only about the music, film, literature, art, or poetry. Fashion played a massive part in this decision as well. One of the first fashion labels, that became increasingly popular, was the UK Decay. Their work showing imagery of death, and vampires which had become the stereotypes which had originated, from horror magazines. While England wasn’t the only place, where the dark wave was taking place. Some American bands for example, would be Faith and the muse, and London after midnight. Within the US, and Canada they began to speak of industrial music. Many of these bands tended to be Skinny puppy, Front line assembly, both bands supporting a fairly complex music. Most of the industrial music, enveloped in many layers of sound, which was meant to be suitable to hear with headphones on. Apart from the two giants of the industrial world, arose to fame many more like their kind. Such as Ministry, or Nine inch nails, and some less commercial varieties of these styles. All of these genres of music, have influenced the field of gothic fashion to grow. As this controversial fashion sense goes forward, it becomes more readily accepted by the larger community. It is doubtful that there is an end to this fashion, however it continues to evolve, and grow into smaller subcategories such as Emo (or emotional) subcultures, and competing neck and neck with the punk cultures in this country, and around the world.
