INFLUENCE

Reviews and intolerance

Like other alternative lifestyles and other urban subcultures, the goth subculture has received several criticisms. Intolerance of subculture looks of annoyance ranging from assault. The group's fascination with the bizarre beauty has occasionally caused some public concern about the welfare of the Gothic. The media sometimes mistakenly associated with Satanism goths, creating a prejudice that goths are "malicious." Events such as the Columbine slaughter, carried out by two young incorrectly linked to the Goth subculture, reinforced these prejudices. The reports, wrong about the roots of the slaughter, they created a series of community prejudice against the Gothic in the United States, as well as the slaughter of Carmen de Patagones generated a series of prejudices against the gothic / darks in Argentina and as against artists like Marilyn Manson.

 Gothic - Dark

The confusion between Gothic and dark occurs most often in South American countries. The reason is that you have used these two words to refer to the same genre (and the lifestyle that accompanies it), creating the illusion that they are two currents distintas.Muchos refer to the dark gothic style as Poseurs as consider that they only take Gothic

aesthetics to attract attention, usually listen to very commercial bands and other non-Gothic style.

Media influence

As the subculture was being established, the connection between the gothic and horror fiction became almost a cliché, to the point that many players appeared as Gothic novels and horror movies. For example, The Crow took directly elements of style and gothic music. Tim Burton's films, presented in their most inspired characters or gothic culture, especially Beetlejuice - starring Lydia, a teenage gothic "Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride ySweeney Todd. Many of these films came to the "g

eneral public" to the gothic scene. The series of books by Anne Rice "The Vampire Chronicles" and some RPG Vampire: The Masquerade-inspired Gothic music and culture served to extend the goth subculture. Also contributing élanime and cyberpunk, especially Matrix, to increase interest in the subculture. The influence of cyberpunk resulted in Cybergoth.

The mass media have spread information while gothic culture, have done more harm than good, today the gothic look to them with hate and fear all this due in large part to the misinformation they distribute these resources: From speculation to shoddy relationships that have come to affect the culture as such selling it to his audience and at the same time discrediting and disfiguring things as Satanism that is marked in some who call themselves goths is mainly due to poorly distributed this information and misinterpreted.
