The thing I never understood about goth is that it looks like so much effort. The makeup, cloths, hair, it all looks like a ton of work. I always thought it was about embracing how dismal and pointless life is.
Yeah, I think I look at it like a template for self expression. If it helps you say what you want to say, then more power to you. What exactly that is won’t be the same for each person.

It means different things to different people. Which kind of makes sense, if you think about how music and style spreads around the world and hits different people in different cultural contexts.

That’s nihilism goth is more an aesthetic and lifestyle. Doesn’t necessarily have to have a deeper meaning.

Doesn’t mean you can’t look cool

Some people just listen to the music and don’t get all gussied up. Some people express themselves through professional-quality costumes. Some people use the style to create an identity on social media. Some people use the music and style to explore their cultural heritage. etc.
