Goth derives from the 1970's punk era with the introduction of metal music to the masses, the people that layed rome to ruins were called the visigoths they weren't vikings you pathetic mindless drones they were gauls from spain, in any case goth is mearly an abreviation of 'gothic' and is really culturally intended for pre-teens or atleast thats my interpretation...

goth began in the 40 (not sure on the decade) with a group of misfits called beatnick. Those were the people who sat around in pubs or cafes and read poetry. They snapped their fingers instead of clapping their hands. Their poetry was usually dark or deep and insightful. The internet can provide usful info!


The beat generation was at it's peak in the 1950's-60's, and had nothing to do with goths.

i heard it started by a band called bauhaus


Nopers, try Joy Division or even Rudimentary Peni.

The Visigoths And The Ostrogoths were both eastern German tribes, but you get a gold star for even knowing that they were not Vikings.

In actuality Goth origins were from the Visigoths and Ostrogoths. Ancient Germanic tribes that were in fact pagan and then Christian. The visigoths were the ones that we find to be more historically sound though. The took over Rome and sacked s***loads of towns and villages on the way.I personally have an excellent lineage of Vikings, Goths, drunk Russians and crazy a** Scots.

Joy Division origonal goths!

Can't be having that. Joy Division, although a great band, can't be described as being goth.

As I am a guy in his forties who lives in the UK where goth originated, I can say that two bands are in for a shout at "starting" goth. They are Bauhaus and Souxsie and the Banshees. Both bands formed in the seventies, they both have roots in the UK punk scene, and here's the clincher, they both wore a lot of black. And as us old goths say, "black is".
