What do fans of atmospheric post-punk music have in common with ancient barbarians? Not much ... so why are both known as “goths”? Is it a weird coincidence - or is there a deeper connection stretching across the centuries? Dan Adams investigates.

"If you're a Goth, where were you when we sacked Rome?"
"oh so youre a goth? Name every Roman Country you captured."
Vector Skywalker There were only Two Roman Empires, and a bunch if numerous successor states from both the west and the east such as Soissons, Epirus,Trebizond, and more including the Gothic kingdom of Theodoro which became independent around a thousand years after the fall of the Western Empire. None of these were actually completely conquered by the goths. The Visigoths conquered almost all of Spain and southern Gaul and the Ostrogoths conquered Italy from Odoacer after the west fell so the Goths never took over an entire half of the Roman Empire. A much more accurate question would be to ask “If you are really gothic, how many roman cities and towns have you sacked?”
Omg you cant ask people why they're goth!
Uhmmmmm
I kinda had school so I couldn’t sack Rome...
Thousand'th like lmao
so you mean, it's not a phase....?
Yes, its not a phase. Ive been goth since I was 12 and Im 20 now

Can we all agree that there is just something so starkly elegant in gothic architecture? It’s stunning, the amount of strength such matchstick-like pillars and arches convey, and the intricate stonework and glass just adds to the overall feel. Elegance, grace, and the demand for respect just seeps from the walls!
Can't disagree
I'd never known that Gothic architecture was called thus to be derogatory. You'd never think it looking at it's elegance and grace. I always thought it was called goth because gothic and goth tend to be associated with "darker" aspects of society and the gothic era architecture were from a period people consider the darker ages. Which, if you really think about it, the stunning architecture of the "gothic era" was actually probably the brightest and most marvelous things in the average person's life back then.
@@RikkuTakanashi the word goth(ic) was just a term created in the renaissance and then used to name catholic church architecture of past centuries. its just a term like byzantine with no source at all.
I know, it must be some of the most beautiful forms of architecture I've ever seen! Definitely one of my favorites! It's just so awe-inspiring - mind-boggling how it was coined as boorish!

@@justanawkwardnerd The Vandals sacked Rome so hard that the word Vandalism was invented.
@@liamjm9278 And then of course Christian and Roman writers focused on that, and all the negatives without remembering A.) They actually built more that they destroyed, (The amount of stuff they built in Carthage is facinating, they did still sack Rome though, very hard, almost too hard). B.) the Vandals were also Christian, a different type of Christian, but Christian none the less.

This goth race is known as jatt/jutt/jat in Indian subcontinent, getae in romania and in greek language and got/goths in germany and european countries.
It's ironic that Christians namely (/possibly others?) see Gothic as Demonic when in reality, Gothic came _from_ when Christianity had a choke-hold on society/was most powerful
Actually it's Enlightnment, Renaissance and in general rationalism which sees gothic as "demonic" in the sense of being populated by irrational "demons", including Christian ideas.
Also, not all Christians see Goth as demonic. Only the more judgmental ones. As a Christian and a Goth, who also happens to be obsessed with the Gothic tribes, I can safely say that most actual Christians have no problems with it. Our only concerns are with lyrical content and what symbols you wear.
Brandon Phillips Very true (I'm a Christian too, although gothic isn't quite my style lol. No hate intended tho)
Dang ignorance is strong in this one
Ikr I’m Christian but I think it’s ridiculous when people call everything satanic like Halloween or goths like without satan there would be no balance in life

Lately when some young people dressed as gothic appear and say they are gothic, millennial goths complain about these young people who "pretend" to be gothic, and tell them "You are not a real gothic! The real gothic is about the 80's gothic MUSIC "
The joke based on the history of goticism is that you could say that the millennial goths are not real goths because the real goths are those of the 1200s and they (the millennial goths) are posers.

hmm, it ignores a bit of the outside forces and influences of Gothic fashion - specifically, the fashion movement based of Victorian era mourning attire, popularized by queen Victoria's famously drastic additions to mourning etiquette after the death of her husband. it's one of the first connections of fashion to the term Gothic, due like the video says to the churches and somewhat to the writing, but specifically connecting the clothing to death and funerals. it's also why every goth ever has to constantly hear the sarcastic questions 'who died?' and 'where is the funeral?'. for all these reasons Gothic subculture is both consciously and subconsciously hardwired to the ideas of death, doom and gloom in the minds of collective society no matter how lively it is in actuality. but hey. at least we can be counted on to put the Fun in Funeral.
AlphaMonster best comment.
Ya! It irks me too. I love how original goths give us all this. But I into Victorian/Edwardian clothing..and I hate when people say "Am goth" and am "NO! you just in love dark era of Victorian/ed times when death was common and they were madly love with idea." You know.
Thats because fashion was a happy side effect not the point of the gothic music subculture.
And it was a music subculture. That a lot of people dont realise, acknowledge, or accept this is their problem.
Don't forget edwardian as well. My favorite 🖤
But this isn’t about fashion, but about origin and terminology lol
Kudos for the beautiful animation!

yes, something to behold. In this sense I really love 'illustrations' of various sort, and (general) drawings/art... that tell _something,_ some more elaborately (so) than others.

Thanks for this. I always thought that saying "goth originated in the early 80s with death metal" was far too narrow to describe the culture. Especially with many Goths having a common interests in classic horror movies and literature, many of which predate the 1970s at the latest.

"to artists finding beauty in darkness"
What about it?
There is a beauty in darkness.
Hello darkness, my old friend.
When I close my eyes all I see is beauty
There is so much beauty in this darkness that I cannot see.
My goodness... These series are so amazing!! Explained in a way that keeps drawing you deeper and deeper into curiosity. I love it. Thank you!!
Amazing video, i love how Siouxsie portrays the gothic style at the start of the video
She is considered to be a Goth Goddess by some people. Nina Hagen and Lena Lovich also defined the Goth Goddess look. good music too.
"Artists finding beauty in darkness" ! What a great phrase to sum up Goth. Great video, nicely done.
The animation in this is flawless
Alex Stoffa looks like samurai jack
im genuinely blown away by how in depth and well made this video is! i wasnt expecting this when i clicked on it! well done!

I am an Elder Goth and I absolutely loved this! Beautifully done and wonderful explanations. I too hope that you do one about the different Goth music subgenres and please use the same artist!
What exactly is an Elder Goth?
Sigiswulf An older goth, and generally, one who has been in the scene since it's origins (80's) I call them the O.G.'s (originial goths) They are much respected by the up-and-comers as well as the newbs (known as baby bats)
@@Saibishii this sounds like some weird larping
All hail the Elder Goth's, Gothulhu fhtagn
The 80’s and 90’s goths were honestly more fun than those emos that fake depression
As someone who loves Goth music, fashion, and art, but who also enjoys history and other intellectual pursuits, I loved this. Great educational video concerning the history of the origins of the word, and to a lesser extent, the music itself.
Bro goths are cringe
@@TheItalianTroop16
Cringe Culture is dead, you heretic.
I think this better explains Goths than any Goth Vlogger youtube has to offer. Thanks.
This part of history is simply not covered enough. Thank you for the great video!
back in the late 70s we also referred to early Goths as Batcavers - which came from the London club Batcave that heavily influenced the subculture. We had schoolyard chants regarding Wavers & Batcavers which was ironic since my high school years were ankle length trenches, misfit haircuts, and 40-hole Docs.

@@kevintcp370 yeah, he also lives in Gotham City
wait so gothic is just dark romance
GeoLancer also got music is not limited to one genre
I think this video just established that the things these terms refer to are connected by a series of tangents. Does the distinction between adjectives really matter that much, if they once meant one thing and then come to mean another? (this is coming from a person who may or may not be considered Goth)
My understanding of what goth is is that you find beauty in the darker things in life, like see death as not the end of your life but the next adventure you haven't gone on yet!
Romanticism in the sense of the literary movement, not makin' love.
Not for me :')
This was a very beautiful animation, thank you for showcasing the art history and connection of the many art movements named "Gothic" though time! I'm currently at the end of my Upper Div. Gothic Architecture class and I'm sure this video would've prevented a lot of confusion from students who'd joined the class thinking that the portrayal of Gothic churches in literature was what the architects had in mind! I would like to also say that historians also refer to the Dark Ages as "Dark" because of the lack of written historical information and records from the time, making it hard to get solid images of how life was like, thus it being "dark"! Nothing to do with the cathedrals; their whole goal was to install as many stained glass windows as possible to make everything light and "heavenly"!
The animation reminds me of Genndy Tartakovsky! Well done!
"Finding beauty in darkness." Definitely describes the entire idea well.
So you could describe goths as someone who is an outsider, with art that is simplistic, yet beautiful, and embrace darkness as opposed to hiding it away
Pwnedgamer94 modern Goth is more about post punk music such as some of the listed bands. The band members popularized dark. Clothing and make up to match the gloomy tunes.
The old goths could be described as elite cavalry men
i wouldn’t describe the art as “simplistic”
I’m gonna say you’re a goth lol
@@oonooooooooo I agree. That’s the only thing I take issue with about this video. I think the narrator should’ve re-used the word “ornate.” That’s a much more fitting adjective.
Finally, someone who explained the history and the connection between the two groups (the Goths and Gothic subculture)!
I can see some future subgenres of Gothic expression continuing to connect to the past (such as ancient Norse and ancient Germanic culture), and even branching out incorporate other cultures as well, since the nature of a subculture is to evolve over time as new generations express their own version of being Gothic.
Congrats to who ever did the visuals and animations. They simply look amazing.
Really great video, barbaric culture really amazes me. History classes rarely go deep into their civilization and mostly show them from the Romans' point of view.
Elias6233 mostly because almost all of our sources about them come from the Romans and Greeks, since the "barbarians" themselves didn't write about their history.
The romans had an empire the goths were just tribes but history doesn't tell is that the romans made it all the way to the river Elbe river so at some point they conquered most of Germany
16patie Actually many pagan traditions and rituals were saved and transformed into Christian holidays. At least where I come from.
Elias6233 yes! Thank you, I also agree. There's so much more we can learn about different civilisations, I'd take that course! Haha 😄
Elias6233 Muslim scholars in Spain (during the Dark Ages) also paved the way for the Renaissance when they preserved and translated Ancient Greek and Roman knowledge. Muslim scholars even gave the West its numerical system of 0 to 10.
Great video. My only comment is that while The Cure is more well known, they should swap places with Siouxsie and the Banshees in the animation. The Cure came well after Siouxsie, with Robert Smith of The Cure even playing for The Banshees!
Siouxsie is a Germanic name too.
C T actually, the name was taken from the Indigenous American Sioux tribe
AJtheory yeah, and that show’s title came from the Sioux tribe
a very important history lesson that many seems to forget to share. thanks!
There can't be a better brief history of Goths than this.
Sisters of Mercy still rule.

A hard reign held up by rage
And so does Bauhaus 🤘🏻
absolutely
I feel like this video was a great summary of what I've cumulatively learned this school year from German class, English class, and my gothic friend's lifestyle. IT ALL COMES TOGETHER NOW.
Cybergoth, Gothibility, Gothic Metal, and Steampunk have very little relation with the Goth Subculture, all of those are kind of their own thing.
@Malum they use the term 'goth' as a synonym for dark or spooky and not as a way of saying it has anything to do with the goth subculture. This video does a pretty good job explaining how many of the things which fall under the label of goth barely have anything to do with one another.
Malum You're not wrong...
@Malum slapping the term "goth" on random fashion styles/subcultures that didn't derive from or have anything in common with goth doesn't make them goth. I'd go as far to say that its rather insulting to the background/histories of the subcultures in question. Cyber is industrial/rave, Gothic metal is death-doom and Gothabilly is influenced at best. Steampunk is indeed a stretch because it's Victorian science fiction.
That being said, if they were going to name sub-genres, they should have started with darkwave, ethereal wave, or at least its counterparts, like deathrock and coldwave.
You ain’t goth If you don’t listen to post punk
The good old times, when goth was about sacking cities and not about keeping gates... Traditionalism is bad and you should feel bad. This is even more true for punk-related traditionalism.
What a great video!! And the art ❤❤❤! I want each design and painting to stay on screen long enough to examine it thoroughly!
Next: A brief history of hipsters
I could dig that, daddy-o.
Brief meaning society one day realizes how annoying they are, stuffs them in a box, and leaves them there to out hip each other to death.
V. Erin hahahahahahahahaha
Wait no pls
interesting fact: hipster comes from the word hip which meant to be high on opioids usually associated with jazz musicians and their fans who would smoke the stuff all the time so they called them hipsters
Bauhaus personifies early gothic music to me. Happy to see them mentioned.
me too
I always love how the animations here made us understand better.
finding beauty in darkness. this sentence is so inspiring.
Small beef with the timeline: Siouxsie & the Banshees pre-date Bauhaus, and formed concurrently with The Cure, and Joy Division.
Nick Kent (in NME IIRC), used Goth to first describe Siouxsie (in comparison to The Doors). While she rightly hates being pigeonholed she was the front-runner of the genre, not a later edition or also ran.
She's been many things - punk, goth pioneer, and later post-punk experimentalist. I think she knows her main bread & butter fanbase is goth, but she's always tried to do new things, be inventive & original.
Joy division founded the grown works for post punk
Both Joy Division and the Cure have said that Siouxsie and the Banshees were a huge influence,, You can find the quotes on Wikipedia.
Although I am not part of it I adore the goth scene. Their style and the music is really cool and I always kind of liked it.
Faolair Leloup is this video just a rip off of pitchforks last video? That was a vid about the history of goths too. But this goth has very little to do with modernitys goth fashion

What the fuck kind of life do you have that this is useful.
That's exactly what I was thinking TheBasjenator. Also what are you watching on UA-cam then? If it's purely videos that don't teach you anything at all I can only imagine you that you watch exclusively meme or music videos but the if the history of the goth culture is so useful in your daily life then why are you watching memes and pop videos?
So many questions O.o

Siouxsie and the Banshees didn't get enough credit. They were such an influential band and they were also formed in 1976, just like The Cure and Joy division... so not mentioning them and just listing them as "one of the similar bands that was described as gothic rock" in 4:22 is so damn disrespectful in my opinion. Needless to say Siouxsie Sioux was also the main gothic trendsetter as well....

They can't get all OCD on the 1 stage of the entire story. It's just educational anyways.
Lawrence Bottorff
Well I guess bands avoid the goth label because they find it limiting.. which it is in my opinion. And also Bauhaus out of the three bands that were mentioned happen to be the least diverse and versatile so it kinda makes sense why they didn't seem to mind being branded as goth. On the other hand, Robert Smith of the cure looked and dressed "goth" but that was it, there was nothing goth about their music imo and so is the case with many of their contemporaries, including Siouxsie and the Banshees but they did influence the gothic subculture however.
Chill lol
narrator couldn’t pronounce it properly that’s the only explanation..

Speaking of The Doors' influence, they were actually the first band to be called "gothic rock" in a review in 1967. Some of their songs, like Strange Days, The Crystal Ship, and The End would not sound out of place from a gothic band in the '80s.

I'm surprised this video never mentioned Siouxsie Sioux, singer from Siouxsie and the Banshee's. They are one of the first major goth bands (started in 1976).
It's also who I'm guessing the opening goth woman is in this video (which makes it even more strange, not even in the "family tree" shown near the end.)
This is Siouxsie Sioux (in the 80's)

Definitely like the band.
Yeah I was wondering the same, why didn't they mention Siouxsie?
They were talking more about the etymology/evolution of the word "goth," not necessarily about the actual goth subculture and music scene. I agree she could have gotten a mention, but this video isn't really focused on individuals, more the overall idea of what "gothic" is.
I agree with fridaythe13thirteen , but if you look at 4:23 , Siouxsie and the Banshees is right there at the "family tree"
Greg Runtunuwu I didn't see the name there. Thank you for pointing it out. Without seeing that there, it seemed like they used a likeness but then never made any mention of the likeness, seems it was I just missed the reference.
