To become a goth means to embody a certain nature. The basis of the worldview is ready to lay individuality.
Each goth can interpret individuality in his own way. Gothic can live in the soul, without showing any external changes. Therefore, without changing outwardly, you will have to change your character, your mood inside the soul - to be depressive-romantic, closed, and at the same time strive to assert itself. Goths are quite sensual personalities and try to see the beautiful in everything. The main hobby of this subculture was the craving for the supernatural (mysterious charms, cemetery, etc.), some individuals are occupied with witchcraft. Creative people are often met in the Gothic world - they are engaged in music, writing poetry, and are fond of painting. Which direction suits you best - you should choose, the main thing is that you don’t have to put on black robes and dark suits.
If you want to become a goth, you should abandon the stereotypes of society. Goths do not accept public opinion stamps or dress codes. Therefore, they are constantly in a certain isolation from others. In general, the Goths are quite peaceful, never attack first and make no sacrifices.
To consider yourself fully prepared, a Gothic worldview is quite enough, however, if you want to touch on every side of a Goth’s life, you must completely reincarnate, even changing your image.
The image of a goth is considered his calling card - everyone will notice in the crowd of equipped goth. Since the Gothic worldview dictates to be an individual, the Goth looks quite normal and does not hear a bad word in his address. Most of the youth from the Gothic subculture prefer to wear black robes, dye their hair and nails black, tint their eyes and lips with black on their pale faces, and only silver predominates in jewelry.
Changing your nature in yourself, you will have to change the attitude towards death. Death for the ready is raised to the level of a fetish. Gothic symbols of death are crosses, skulls, coffins and much more, especially a visit to a cemetery - ancient burials with crypts and other attributes are preferred; works describing death. The Goths understand death as a transit point leading to a better life. In cemeteries, they are attracted by silence, calm and a specific philosophical atmosphere.
