This in-depth exploration of Goth culture invites fresh understanding―and a critique of contemporary mainstream culture by comparison.

Goth culture is extremely diverse, touching on visual art, fashion, film, music, and body aesthetics. Goths: A Guide to an American Subculture offers a concise, easy-to-follow history of the subculture that explores its emergence and its impact on popular culture in the United States.

The book covers films, bands, and artists central to Goth culture, with emphasis on the Goth approach to fashion and body adornment. In addition, it discusses how America's Goth culture has influenced Goth populations elsewhere and how international developments have changed the U.S. Goth community. The volume is enriched with biographies of prominent Goth celebrities, such as Marilyn Manson and Robert Smith, as well as with interviews that offer readers a firsthand view of the culture. It concludes with an evaluation of Goth culture today, a look at what the future might hold, and a discussion of the significance of Goth culture to American society as a whole.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Micah L. Issitt is a humble, work-a-day, dollar-a-paragraph writer from St. Louis, Missouri, living and working in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Micah Issitt is a fan of peer review, professional editing, and hoops. He has a complete lack of interest in blogging and self publishing. Micah Issitt believes that he has a very modest talent for explaining things, which is why he does so, even when people ask him not to, which happens more often than he would like.

Micah Issitt writes to eat, and has considered eating his books, which are rich in fiber, but lack nutrients. Micah Issitt does not write to "find himself," as Google maps and his eyes are sufficient for this task. Micah Issitt does not like self help, as he believes he is not familiar enough with the patient, and lacks the expertise required to offer meaningful advice.

Micah Issitt enjoys the idea of enjoying the finer things. He often hopes to receive the finer things as gifts from friends or family. Micah Issitt enjoys the third person and often says to himself, "Worthy opponent, you have earned this." If you get this reference, you and Micah Issitt are now friends, sort of.
