Gothic rock is a style of music,
that separated the early 80 years of alternative rock.
Created a combination of gothic and rock music
Among the most important bands are Sisters of Mercy,
Lacrimosa and The Mission. It is also known Czech group XIII. century.
Harder version of gothic rock called gothic metal.
Among today's well-known gothic rock bands are Within Temptation
or (rather gothic pop) Evanescence.

Gothic metal, goth metal also called,
is a style that was a combination of heavy metal
and recently played gothic music.
Originated in the early nineties of the 20th century in Europe,
partly in the U.S..
Because gothic metal affects its spread quite a lot of different styles,
can also meet the other inclusion.

The combination of gothic rock and metal is probably the Finnish "lovemetal 'band HIM (His Infernal Majesty).

Almost everyone loves gothic black, so the gothic version combines white and black. Is a white face and black or dark eyes, lips and nails. But it is not a condition, remember that it is mainly gothic way of life and thinking, but if you want to be dark and visually ...

The basis for the makeup is really the lightest shade, while the bad looking, but patience brings roses. Ensure thorough crushing and conceal red, points and circles under the eyes. Use a powder, preferably white, can get him on one of internet businesses, but it's not cheap. True, what makeup whiter, the better.

Eyes with black pencil frame how, it is up to you, but be careful not to frighten people more, even though society generally accepts different groups of people, so believe me, I would stare. Apply black or dark gray eye shadow and black mascara. Shadows can be red or purple, it is up to you. Black lipstick on the day I do not recommend just a darker shade of red or purple. Leave a bolder version of Gothic events, or at night. Part of the goth version is, of course, black nail polish.

I would like to say in advance that inspired the gothic fashion, most of the Middle Ages, is not recommended (think now tingling), goth dress, while lovely, but for everyday wear are inappropriate. Even if it's tops or skirts, corsets in Gothika is absolutely beautiful and gothic scene, much worn. Dress is, if possible, to what is acceptable in your neighborhood. Much to wear velvet, lace and leather, all in black, it is one, if it is a normal substance, or velvet, both in black looks great. Often combines black dress with a large silver pendant, it may be a cross, a pentagram, just anything that is enough big and silver. Looks several pendants in various sizes and length. Collars, belts with spikes, bracelets with spikes, or pyramids, and pullers.





Goth scene in men often come in unisex clothes, then as women, wear skirts, shirts gripping, sometimes transparent ... In our country but in this meet a Gothika, perhaps to the event, but the open air every tame, or he just does not like.

Goths wear shoes mostly black and heavy, most wearing the glade, some boots and the spring and summer, ankle boots old school. But it is up to you how you dress in black, do not walk, but it is the most popular color among the Goths, it also may be dark blue, purple or blood red to burgundy.



              

Gothic. Word, which raises different and sometimes passionate response of many people - both those who are part of the community, or those who look at it from the outside. What exactly "gothic" mean? Who are the goths, and what he believes? How long have they been around us, and what is their future?

The word "Gothic" was first used to identify a group of ancient European peoples. Goths are a number of assumptions according to their origin on the island "Gottland" at the Danish coast. Over time, the tribes have grown numerically and intensified so much that the 410 sacked the famous Roman Empire dominated Europe, and the next 250 years, until it slowly faded from history.

It is important to know where the word "Goth" (in Czech "Goth") has taken, although it is now in the beginning to mention the differences between the old Gothic culture, and the phenomenon of modern Goth culture (I distinguish the two remain in the article as follows: "Gothic" - belonging to an old Gothic X "goth - the current scene - note. Ezekiel). Old Goths were a nomadic people with a reputation for brutal rapist who, however, were preserved according to sources very religious (their belief was based on the worship of pagan deities). Dates "gothic" and how it is perceived today, is used to describe the subculture, based primarily on personal style of art, literature and music. Some forms of Gothic art, although dated to the 12th - 15th century, however, for example, the term "goth music" (which is responsible for the greatest expansion and development of contemporary goth subculture) as it is perceived today, is a term that has been used almost exclusively to describe "modern Gothic".

Modern goths are different from the old Goths, for example, that are not part of the dominant culture, but the subculture. Another difference is the need of religion. Where Goths had clearly defined religious system, not the modern goth bound by any particular religion. Of course among them will find the Gentiles, but goths are more Christians, Jews, Catholics, or atheists. Modern goths tend to diversity of both the social and political views, which brings in a culture of ideological coloring. What holds the community together is the Gothic penchant for terror (terror), the desire for romance, and the recognition of "the dark aesthetics.

Modern historians envisage the emergence of goth subculture in the late 70 the 20th century, where he developed as an offshoot of the punk movement in England and the USA. Before we look closer at the gothic subculture, it is appropriate to further acquaint themselves with what it is and how punk was.

The original punk grew from dissatisfaction with the popular music of the 70th years, although many people took it rather as a living means of political and / or social rebellion. Mainstream culture 70th years has been fueled by inorganic blunt, unmotived rock and roll, dance music and cheap with no idea. The war still raged in steamy (and burned) forest in Vietnam and how America and Britain was in the midst of economic decline. In this social and political climate grew angry punk in pleasure, valve tension in society.

Although punk was in its time a completely new musical direction (MC5 in the late 60s are generally recognized as important and valued "pre-punk" band), the late 70 neuchytil years. The first wave of bands such as The Ramones, the Stooges and the Sex Pistols spawned a new band formed fascinated onlookers who know that something big is happening.

Alert guards rest of mainstream society perceived antisocial punk rebellion, and a little nervous at the idea that this movement assert. Radio stations do not broadcast because of punk, the clubs were not punk concerts, and police followed the sharp punk fans, wherever they appeared.

Punk was raw and full of feelings. People who lived near the scene of her learned either orally or through fanzines. Others, however, did not learn about punk at all even years after the first wave of punk has long since subsided. Punk took their forces without the Internet, music videos, or display on the radio. He's Underground, punks and insisted to remain so.

Late 70s He began a second wave of punk. At that time, many young people already at least heard of, or directly participated in the punk movement. New fans came onto the scene and new bands were formed in great quantities. Along with new people and coming bands and new sounds and styles, some directly based, or based on the classic song structure 3 accords.

Industrial music saw the light of day early 80.th early years, such as were Throbbing Gristle, Kraftwerk, and pre-Dare The Human League, who paved the way followers of the genre. It became widely called "new wave".

A four-piece punk band called Warsaw has also appeared in 1977 in Manchester, England. Like many peers, or they did not know how much play, but the energy that was felt in the sound and expression band was powerful and unique. Original style of the band was suppressed during the month, and members decided to change the name to Joy Division. This name has been controversial because of its reference to Nazi Germany many times discussed, but the band members themselves deny any link with the national-socialist ideas, which recorded the fact that the texts contained no trace of a racist ideology. What Ian Curtis' lyrics evoke a feeling of helplessness, hopelessness and despair. The band moved away from an angry punk 3 accords to something completely new and far darkness.

It was a new sound, manager of Joy Division, Anton H. Wilson, called "gothic", and gave the name of the whole musical direction, which is having a baby. Another band that began as a straightforward punk band that then gradually changed its sound into a darker version of punk were Siouxsie and the Banshees. They, along with Andi Sex Gang Children from Sex, were also referred to as "gothičtí. UK Decay and Bauhaus during its development were especially prominent remarkably dark, and countersunk punk sound.

While some early bands were labeled as "goth" with their peers, bands and fans are generally not adhered to this precedent. In fact, the early "goth" music more commonly referred to as "deathrock". Deathrock was significantly influenced punk sound, unlike what has become understood by the term "goth" over the years. In the U.S., especially on the West Coast, grew up independently of the British deathrock scene. There were pioneers of early live Misfits, 45 Grave and Christian Death (a few years after the breakup of the band revealed a founding member Rozz Williams, the outrageous band name was just a hint of western popular culture icon, Christian Dior, which some fans deeply disappointed).

In Britain deathrock scene flourished, and concentrated in a small club called the Batcave. It began here bands like Bauhaus, Alien Sex Fiend, The Sisters of Mercy and many other famous names later. "Batcave scene" is considered a cornerstone in the mosaic of modern goth scene.

 In the mid 80 deathrock years pushed a little further away from its punk roots. While deathrockers continued resistance against the mainstream of Western culture and the commercialization of art itself deathrock music and style began to change slightly. Greater use of keyboards and drum machine brought a whole new group of fans. Gradually, these people began to refer to themselves, and the music you listen to the "gothic".

Gothic music was, like deathrock typically somber and somewhat dark. Composers have used a wide range of instruments, although most were cast classic guitar, bass, drums (or machine) and keyboards. And composing songs were played mostly at slower tempos, and the darker the music keys (used mainly Doric, Phrygian, Lydian, or). As opposed to heavy metal and other forms of more frequent use of rock and roll musicians gothic extensive solos, quacked (wah pedal), flanger, or doublekick only very rarely.

Continuity writer goth music has its roots in Gothic literature. Predominant themes of death, loneliness and romance. Gothic writers generally avoid obvious political message, although in many texts, the subtle cues visible. Punk lyrics were characteristically direct, melodious, often vulgar, addressing significant social or political issues. Texts in the gothic music is different emphasis on art and style - a vulgar slang is almost avoided.

Gothic styles of music affect the light, dreamy achievements, to those dark and terrible. While some bands have made some commercial success (The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees), most of them remained in front of mainstream culture is hidden. Most of the gothic / deathrock band but just not "normal students" easily accessible, for both the style and sound of music, so because of its availability.

Fans of goth music always strictly kept away from the pop culture scene - in fact most of them would answer "no" if someone from the "outsiders" asked if they are really "goth". Like punk, the goth subculture remained distrustful, perhaps contemptuous of the mainstream. Gothic want from the 'mainstream' room. Beginning of the 90 years have become in the course of neo industrial bands such Ministry or Nine Inch Nails, and celebrate success in commercial radio and MTV. Although the band listens to goth enough, few of them are considered "goth". This time, it was possible to know what is happening - subculture, goths so much that you enjoy and spoil the slow influx of fans wean neoindustralem and dark metal.

How do bands like NIN and acquire even greater commercial success, the media began their music and fans incorrectly called a "goth". Around this time he began publishing a joint pressure on the listener with its cost "alternative" music. NIN into this scheme perfectly sank because their music was different from the sound of rock bands as well as commercially viable. People who never heard of industrial music, buy "Closer" and immediately began to be considered "industrial goth", and despite the fact that NIN were hardly least doopravdovou industrial band.

Younger people were fascinated gothick dark light and sound, although few of them realized the difference between what is gothic, and what the record labels and MTV as indicated the gothic. But NIN were just the beginning of the siege of the commercial scene.

At the time, what NIN has successfully attacked the gold bars in the charts, almost unknown and quite frankly looking music publisher called Brian Warner watched the shit in the pop and felt the right time to embark on a career of an industrial artist. Put together a couple of musicians from around Florida (The Spooky Kids) and adopted the stage name Marilyn Manson. It was probably his best ever in life.

Warner Music were not well received by the goth community. The Spooky Kids working style which is best prescribed for the popular Hard Rock or metal band, and Warner's lyrics are often silly, mostly built on hatred. Remade and his band launched into the world of a song originally written by Charles Manson - the murderer, who himself claimed to be Jesus Christ.

Goths often wrote about the terror and horror, but it was all in accordance with the grim style romanticism. Brian Warner lyrics were obscene, inciting anger, alienation, conflict and hatred. Driving force for Marilyn Manson was deliberate and focused effort to tempt, to draw attention to himself shocking the public. Goths are trying to create art and have the room from the outside world. Where Manson had hatred, had fallen goth beauty and romance. It is therefore important to distinguish the Warner project a typical goth band. In the mid 90 years Manson The Spooky Kids tossed and signed a contract for a large publishing house. His name soon began to appear in all newspapers and television and radio talk shows across America. And to the dismay of many people from the goth community, Mason began to fans in the media incorrectly labeled as "goth." The irony is that most goths did not like Manson, Manson, and most fans were unaware of what goth music really is.

How to Manson became more famous and more famous, mainly thanks to exposure on MTV and offensive comments in interviews, his fan base grew as the water. Have started a group that Manson imitated. About Brian Warner to develop a completely new community, the media could not be distinguished from the goth subculture. For them it was the same, despite the fact that Gothic began to be significantly more focus to Manson's music and her supporters.

Visitors in gothic clubs around the world in the mid 90.th years greatly decreased. Ever since it became popular with bands such as NIN, and other musical ensembles, incorrectly labeled as "gothic" people who were not really goth, hopped a train called industrial or shock rock and moved to a different club scene. Other supporters of goth culture, found work and family, and were no longer able to remain active on the scene. Those who stayed saw more shit about goth music. DJs who worked in gothic clubs began to increasingly playlist.Date EBM, neo-industrial techno and dark. While it was welcomed especially by those who attended clubs for dancing, but the result was that many people from the scene slowly stopped going to clubs.

At the time, began with the goth subculture increasingly linked fetishism, particularly because "the documentary" show MTV and other people outside the culture. After the incident in the Colombina High School (see previous article on the goths - note. Ezekiel) was extra goth community erroneously associated with violence. Two teenagers who were committing atrocities (called the "Trenchcoat Mafia") is actually not gothic music cared about, listened to some metal and industrial bands, and so were not part of the goth community.

Despite all these disadvantages and apathy to the late 90 years, there were some very good musical groups. Bands such Changelings, Faith And The Muse, The Crüxshadows and continued operation of the new, high-quality gothic music for those who remain.

New bands started in the late 90 years to attract the attention of some unbiased music fans, though he ran his way, and not participating in the datagram with the goth scene.

One of the turning revelation happened clusters Cinema Strange. They represented a new movement, which has been called "newgrave", although it was more well-informed fans called the "deathrock". CS music reminiscent of the old 'Batcave days "when it ruled torn netting and punk-influenced rock dark. What is Cinema Strange is a unique new life, inspired by the forgotten genre. And fans from all over the world are responding.

Deathrock scene germinated in California, New York and Germany and other countries over the coming years will surely follow. New blood deathrockers returns to its roots - no shiny leather high heels, no whips and chains, no computer, industrial automatic karaoke, no pozes scene.

Pages From Ghoul School (club in West Hollywood) "It's puke from us going to goth clubs where they play trance, techno, synthpop and repetitive rhythms. Our club is for latex damming, but finally real haven for Goths death and Punk. "

It's a way of life, way of thinking, dress, make-up. Gothic taste brings people together in the dark even though she's not exactly a hobby, it is our part, it's kind of depressing, dark poetry, is a dark art with a touch of death, it is a style of music. Anyway, it's darkness that is everywhere and can Gothika from the darkness to do something absolutely fascinating and beautiful. The word comes from the English Gothic ghost = ghost, it will probably look and our fondness for graveyards.

Most of the time people look at our world do not understand, we seem to be crazy to them. We also circulated the various superstitions that are not true. Maybe some deranged psychopath had done something and said that he can, because Gothika ... They also say that Gothic Satanists are, I must say that I personally am not a satanist. But rather to find a greater number of Christians Gothika than Satanists. But the largest number of Gothika has no faith.

Gothika is a way to be myself, how to feel good about what we like without restriction. It's a way of finding beauty in what others consider a terrible and sad. A uninhibited darkness in him that we have inherited. There is no definition of goth, which varies each even though most have features in common. Nobody does not become Gothika, Gothika every right to have him born.

Gothic also have a wonderful ability and that is to take people as they are, you do not have anything before us to play and fear that shock us, we'll just see through and if we show it in its true light, will you have the same opinion. The only thing hate the gossip, hypocrisy and arrogance, betrayal.

                                                                                Not always wear black.
                                                                           Most of us not invoke Satan!
                                                                                We do not kill people.
                                                                                       We are not evil.
                                                                            We are nice young people.
                                                                            We're still in the doldrums.
                                                                                    We can be happy!
                                                                    It is not true that we hate everyone!
                                                                       We are normal like everyone else!
