I have read an article about goth sub- culture, I found very intersted points in both negative and positive side.
summary..
some researchers believe goth community, they are serious self- harming groups, which they believe in the goth community: there's idea, you can't be a real goth unless you self-harmi.
Dr Micheal Van Beinum, a child psychiatrist said, for some young people with mental health problems, a goth sub-culture may be attractive, as it may allow them to find a community within which it may be easier for their distress to be understood.
This reamainds when we were talking about group and how we join in a group,,,, because one of the reason we join a group is ACCEPTED so that we can socialise with them.
What i found very interest in goth community during my reaserch is, a community which make the unwelcomed feel welcome. Not governed by race, gender, religios, or political views, age, class, or social status. they are governed by living an alternative lifestyle outside mainstream culture. For me it;s positive view.
