Gothic subculture is practically the most mysterious and extraordinary from those of the presentday.
At first glance, the person who wants to be called Goth must limit him/herself by definite rules, but this's not true. The thing is that the one, who's in love with marvelous Gothic culture will not be bound by Goths' traditions.
The main distinction of a Goth from an ordinary person is special "Gothic" life principles that may seem hideous to outsiders. One of these principles - "capre diem" - claims there's a present day that can become the last one, that is why we must live it appropriatly. But instead of taking all positive emotions from the world, Goths are inspired by depression, despair and spiritual anguish.
The Gothic art must be characterized by the atmosphere of a "dark romantics" style.
The Goths are individualists, or to say simplier - people on their own. They moved away from society, they have their own life philisophy, own music, literature, lifestyle. They are romantics per se, though they have their own notion of romanticism.
