"In general, youth culture tends to be tied closely to the mood of the time (hippies, punk), to a certain kind of music (hip-hop, mod, reggae), to a sport or activity (skate punk, surf rock), or to a social or ethnic group (rastas, skinheads). Goth, on the other hand, is completely flexible. There are goth clubs and pubs, goth movies (anything by David Lynch, Tim Burton, or Ed Wood seems to fit the bill), goth jewelry and fashion, goth-friendly home décor, even goth lingerie."
In The Chronicle of Higher Education, Mikita Brottman reviews Contemporary Gothic, by Catherine Spooner, and Goth: Undead Subculture, edited by Lauren M.E. Goodlad and Michael Bibby.
