I state at once that one that speaks, as we say nowadays,
comes from dark. At the time I really felt part of us, especially because there was a philosophy of life under which are then reflected in an attitude outside. I was young when I coined this saying that I'm still proud, "the punk shake for all, the dark is not flustered at all." As you progress through the years, I do not know what happened, I've changed, matured, grown, or just a reason I have done, in fact I came out but never deny him always and above all sharing the most intimate and fundamental. From the outside, but with the knowledge of the speaker with knowledge of the facts, I followed all the subsequent developments in this fashion without ever join any. Prem
it number two: I am a 77 so I was following the dark I was in the 90s who did not was already more than the original, but only the first revival. Although I would not call its revival, because it was not really back in fashion, there were few to be honest not to give another type of depression / frustration of grunge. It was not like the Abba revival of now, we understood each other. Anyway ... the perplexity of this post-which I will say a bit 'but the subject is particularly dear to me-or call it aesthetic, moral and philosophical reflection, is born from a need to dot the i
about what he wants supplant, or appears to have supplanted, or exceeded, or the good old evolved so dark (which in fact is not dead, unlike the punk). In short, I've got with the Gothic! Do you not? If you've never senito talk just write on wikipedia 'Gothic fashion' or worse 'goth' for maybe just a tone. Here I can not stand these people for a simple fact of accuracy or consistency, I do not know what to call it if not ignorance. I'm not here to discuss the basic principles first or last (which I doubt, however, be) of these characters goth, I do not care when I see a priori from the outset the question is confusing, if not completely wrong. Let me explain: having this go around dressed as these cartoon characters (why are not more, and do not call them so in case), I wonder and I say, and where would the 'Gothic' excuse? These people, who created it and broke it called gothic, or goth fashion, if you prefer, which should start from the Gothic style, I say these people have no idea what was the true Gothic with a capital G ka? That is the true art form, one that begins in mid
12sec France, Italy towards the end of 14sec and
it lasts at least at least 3 others. That one! That people like
Pisanello and Paolo Uccello
(left prinicipessa of the 'San Giorgio save the Princess from the Dragon') to name two. (Left in parade dress of the time) knew about it when they decided to give this name to a fashion like that? I think not! Everything starts from a wrong conception, or commonly used incorrectly, to see or think of Gothic as a time of dark magic monsters, occult forces, black month, Satan and so on. Insommna many things that give you a bad feeling in the dark, black, low, narrow and bad. I have news for my friends goth ...
Gothic, this stranger, 
was all aimed at raising the the light! the light of the windows, and light by their color. (see right ... you see the colors?) Is yes my dear! Now suppose, and I have no reason not to, that these people are ignorant on the subject, but I say we should not be mica Achille Bonito Oliva to know something about art history, wikipedia is for the common people, not use it? Enter 'fashion goth' and 'period Gotico'in two different studies, read, and tell me how many similarities you find! Since the greatest expression of Gothic architecture was, let's make you understand with some examples, I would say obvious, and here the term was never used in spite of our best friends gotthici dark! Gotthici-I now call them so I decided that, to distinguish them from real Gothic, that is, those who truly lived the 'm
hear 'in their contemporary! - Look at the picture on the left, I'd say that speaks for itself! The Beauvais Cathedral, officially
Saint-Pierre de Beauvais , is one of the most famous examples of Gothic architecture. Remained unfinished, was built with the intention of erecting in the town of Beauvais, the highest ever Christian church. I do not see anything narrow (the highest) and the poor (Christian, regardless of your religion). But if this example not enough, well type 'pictures Gothic cathedrals' ... a list of names and pictures here would be impossible as well as useless. First and last not least our cathedral of Milan.
But back to talk a little 'in this fashion very bad and the vampire gotthici. Compare. Even here I would say that the images speak for themselves ... True to the left of the time dressed in a afrresco, an exponent on the right contemporary ....
but
MAGAAARI GOTHIC WERE MY DAUGHTER! you compare the elegance of true Gothic 2e3centesco! I've never seen a portrait of a lady of the time? I see no black lipstick and nails, horns, and pircing ragantele, torn fishnet stockings and studs. But please come on! Perhaps the only things that got to do but are certainly not torn network! At one point in the late 90's, this association of carnival takes gotthici different roads. The most inconceivable, or incompatible with the word 'Gothic' is the cybergoth (if you think that is a contradiction in terms!) Whose representative in the photo, and FETISHgoth (What is a fetish - and would love to do a further distinction between object and fetish fetish bondage and sado-the other is Gothic, because one who liked the fetish can not be colored? as fetish object can not have a banana stuffed leopard? Must have only crosses?). Then there is the VAMPIREgoth, which after all is also the most decent (sometimes even elegant) of the three above, and that is a bit 'the style of Marilyn Manson in some video, cylinder or pinstripe hat, monocle, cane, long jacket behind. Do you know why it bearable? Why this comes from vampiregoth Elegant Gothic Aristocrat fashion designer and musician Mana (Jappone, 1999) which is based on the marriage between fashion and aristocratic gothic fashion. That is to say that was designed and made by a search for people in the trade. This style, in my opinion, seems to be the most sensible, because even if we go back to stories of the famous vampire Count Vlad lived in that period (1431-1476) but the fact remains that I doubt strongly that the Count and his contemporaries were allowed to lapse in goth elegant as their posterity, not to forget we're talking about human-vampire-fantasy! In short I would like to conclude that justice was done, which is given back elegance to a term that deserves to be mistreated and not well. But then how to define our friends gotthici now orphans? I would say are better than the 'Dark Ages' or even the Romans! Not that the 'Roman' to dress that way, but if we stay on the subject of dark, dark ... striking example of architecture of the churches here also comes in handy, the Romans were also the darkest of those early Christian because it lacked large windows, the roofs were low, even had holes in window-blind arches and fake.
'Before you can frame the eighth century in the study of early medieval art productions art of the barbarians, including takes on a p articular emphasis 's 
Lombard art'. Go and make at least a culture of images only. Last thing always about fashion in clothes goth ... Compare:
left garments models de ll'epoca . Please note the elegance of the waist (both here and above) of the little train at times, the neckline and flared sleeves adherents. And this right? Gooooth very goooth sure ....
imagine it in with a girl with black lipstick, fishnet stockings torn, her hair pulled up rasta blacks horn-shaped, or straight before his eyes, crosses the neck, boots with studs and
bag with the skull of Jack Skeleton ... but watch it well, the dress itself ... ... if he were white or another color, or colored stripes - the colors because there already is! there was only black-chi if you would? Even in the worst un'abajour baroque! ... Need I say more?
