The Gothic Subculture

In areas like sociology, anthropology and cultural studies, a subculture is a group of people with a culture (whether distinct or hidden) which differentiates them from the larger culture to which they belong. According to Wikipedia, if a particular subculture is characterized by a systematic opposition to the dominant culture, it may be described as a counterculture. But anyways, Im here to present the subcultures commonly misunderstood, and these subcultures have few things in common. To wit, they are the Gothic and Punk subcultures.
The photo depicted here is a topview of the Harajuku Station in Japan where goths usually can be seen moving freely never caring for anyone's judgement.

Ideology
Defining an explicit ideology for the gothic subculture is difficult for several reasons. First is the overwhelming importance of mood and aesthetic for those involved. But I will just tackle this subculture in its overview, don't wanna get involved for things that is very sacred to many.
