Have you ever wanted to dress up like someone else, or maybe change up your image for a while? This is completely normal and the fact is we all do it some times; even if it’s just on Halloween. Some individuals prefer anything from vampires, to army recruiters, to princesses, to gothic costumes. Regardless of what you like to be and your reasons for doing it, it’s certainly a fun and exciting change of pace. In the last place I lived, there were a number of high school kids who were always dressed in gothic costumes. Now, were these really and truly disguises or did they just prefer this facade? It’s so hard to tell with teenagers. The word “lost” comes to mind.
When it comes to the world of dress-up and identity now days, gothic costumes play a large role. Just take a look around your town. Chances are you probably have loads of gothic folks. I think too often this is confused with something else. I have known several gothic individuals in my time, mainly through school and work, and although they appear to wear gothic costumes, they’re not practicing any dark arts. Many people tend to think that if you’re “Goth,” then you’re into death, witchcraft, and the macabre. This is far from the truth. In fact, most of the folks I have known who tackle each and everyday in their gothic attire are just like anyone else. Much of the gothic clothing costumes, more or less, concern a way to rebel. The classic getting out from underneath your parent’s control. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I think we all can relate to this in our own way.
