Journey through the labyrinthine alleys of Goth culture to unravel its defining aesthetics, explore its musical evolution, and examine its profound impact on the arts.

Being Goth transcends mere fashion choices; it's a mindset, a way of seeing the world through a different lens. Through humor laced with black comedy and an appreciation for the mysterious, Goths reveal themselves to be intelligent, romantic, and artistic realists. But where did this culture originate?

Eternal Goth delves into the roots of Goth, tracing its evolution from a post-punk offshoot to a global phenomenon that has left its mark on music, fashion, and pop culture. Along the way, you'll learn about:

  • The pioneers of Goth music, including the dark melodies of Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and more
  • The eerie landscapes of Tim Burton's movies, inspired by the beautiful and macabre world of the Goth
  • The many ways in which one can be Goth, from romantic, elaborate, historically inspired fashions to more casual and modern looks
  • The place of Goth in pop culture, including characters like Wednesday Addams, Lisbeth Salander, and Lydia Deetz
  • Over 100 full-color photographs of Goth icons and influential media, illustrating the popularity of the culture through the ages

Grasp the essence of Goth and celebrate its enduring allure with this comprehensive history.

About the Author

Emma Madden was born in Reading, England, and studied English Literature at the University of Sussex. After launching their freelance writing career from an attic in Brighton, Madden now writes and resides with their wife and a puckish King Charles Cavalier in Los Angeles. They write about music, digital culture, subcultures, and sometimes dogs for both print and online publications, including regular bylines in the New York Times, New York magazine, GQ, the Guardian, Pitchfork, and countless others. Still in their goth phase, Madden enjoys sulking and moaning about the world's wretchedness while listening to Joy Division.
