The specific word Goth originally meant Germanic tribes in western Europe. On the level of architectural culture and writing from18th century to19th century, the so-called "Gothic Renaissance" excavated the gloomy mood of the Middle Ages from the grave of historical context.
Gothic architecture, with its superb architectural skills, expressed strong mysterious, sad and lofty feelings, which had a great influence on other arts in later generations. Its charm comes from the aesthetic experience of proportion, light and color, that is, through metaphysical meditation on light and symbolic understanding of logarithm and color, the soul can get rid of the fetters of earthly materials and soar in heaven in front of the light of God's grace. Although this kind of architecture was popular all over Europe, it was once despised during the European Renaissance.
The early Gothic music was full of melancholy and world-weariness, icy and delicate in aesthetic feeling, but at the same time, it used a lot of discordant sounds that deviated from the melody line at the register level, and extremely despised traditional music. On the concept level of lyrics and performance, it shows the desolation of life and love, and pursues the strange pleasure of the soul abyss from the rejection of the realistic state.
Gothic clothing has no uniform design. The main elements include black, dark clothes, silver ornaments, black hair, red hair or light blond hair, pale skin, black lipstick and eye shadow. Accessories include crosses, five-pointed stars, crosses, cloaks, shawls and so on.
