Teen Gothic

I think the answer is yes, but I'm just a baby bat.

Goth is an offshoot of post-punk, where the ethos that came with being punk was anti-establishment. Whereas it seems to be that being Goth is about being anti-conformity.

I'm not too involved in the punk scene, but I feel like the ethos is emphasized more than listening to the music in the circles of punk, where it's my observation that it is more the opposite with goth.

If I'm being honest, I love the music, but I think it's the personalities, lifestyle, and attitude of being goth that got me attracted to the subculture in the first place. Oh and I learned to appreciate the music in the process.

Let me know if I'm wrong.
