World Goth Day
May 22 · Level 8 · #583 of 2238
World Goth Day celebrates goth music, style and the people who find beauty in darker things. It gives the community a chance to connect and invites curious newcomers to discover what lies beyond the black clothing.
How it is celebrated: fans gather for gigs, club nights, meetups and photo sessions. They share favourite bands, put together elaborate outfits and sometimes raise money for charity.
Despite the name's associations with medieval architecture and eerie novels, the goth subculture grew out of post-punk music. Its soundtrack came before many of its familiar fashion signatures.
