'''Goth''' is an obsession with black symbolism.  It manifests itself among youth by wearing black clothing, black hair dye, and zombie-like behavior.  It can appear [[Satan]]ic or anti-[[Christian]] in nature, although a large Christian Goth community exists, and Goths are not necessarily anti-Christian.

'''Goth''' is a term often given to a style of music, a type of dress, and a subculture; all of which were originally derived from bands such as Siouxsie & The Banshees in the 1980's.  It manifests itself among youth by wearing black clothing, black hair dye, and zombie-like behavior.  It is often labeled as [[Satan]]ic or anti-[[Christian]] in nature, although a large Christian Goth community exists, and Goths are not necessarily anti-Christian.
    
Historically, a Goth was a member of a [[Germanic]] tribe, which invaded the [[Roman Empire]] from the east between the third and fifth centuries AD. The eastern half of the tribe, the [[Ostrogoths]] eventually founded the [[kingdom]] of [[Italy]], while the [[Visigoths]], their western cousins, founded the kingdom of [[Spain]].
