I grew up liking The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, London After Midnight, HIM, Nine Inch Nails, there's more but you get the point. Goth is not a trend or a fashion. Goth is a lifestyle and punk rock in a nutshell. The origins of Goth go back to the 70's in London's Punk Rock Scene. Now it has grown into a diverse culture of style and music.      A true Goth doesn't judge others for being different, we are creative and open minded. We are not depressed we just like a darker style. We see beauty where most see decay, gloom, and rot. I see beauty in the night, in the blackness where you can't see the light. For I am able to see through the veil of decay, gloom, and rot.
