Teen Gothic

I love love love being goth but I genuinely don't understand why. I love the music, the art, the fashion, the makeup, and the hair more than any other style I've explored. I guess I just never thought I'd love a certain style this much. I feel so at home being a part of the style, maybe because the beliefs/attitudes of goths resonate with me so much? The way that music, fashion, makeup, literature, and values/beliefs are intertwined in so fascinating to me.

Is it the dark style? The music, art, or literature? The fashion and makeup and hair? What about goth draws you into the subculture? What does being goth mean to you, and how do you express it? How does the fashion and music illustrate the core values of the subculture?

Sorry to sound like an English teacher, but I really want to discuss this and have no goth friends or know any long-term goths haha
