Goth subculture

This article is about the late 20th / early 21st century subculture. For the Germanic tribes, see Goths. For other uses, see Gothic.The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture found in many countries. It began in the United Kingdom during the early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk genre.
