What makes wearing black clothes and black makeup and a shit load of tattoos Gothic.???


The period in history where the description of gothic came from has nothing to do with black. It has to do with a style of construction of buildings mostly. and the people of the time wore brown!!! Unless they had money, they wore colors, but not black!!


So where did this come from???
From http://www.merriam-webster.com:

(blah-blah-blah)

"3 often not capitalized : of or relating to a style of fiction characterized by the use of desolate or remote settings and macabre, mysterious, or violent incidents"
