Sub Cultures- Goths.

Goth originated from A germanic tribe who invaded the late roman empire along with the vandals, however now has become a subculture of people known for dressing head to toe in black, including hair and makeup, and listening to gothic rock. The subculture began in britian in the early 1980's, an outcome formed from the post-punk genre. The opening of the Batcave in London's Soho in July 1982 became a prominenent scene for the forming subculture.
Goths often dressed in black, leather and lace with aspects taken from Elizabethan, Victorian or Medieval periods. Black dyed hair, dark black makeup, often with religious imagery incorporated in their outfits. Music such and suicide silence, bauhaus ect
Goth has also been associated with worshipping satin, self harming, depression, and witchery which is where the use of black comes from.
Goth is now transforming and changing into something more modern 'neo-goth'
