2.  "Goth" means different things to each follower. Many adopt
unusual fashions in order to separate themselves from other
youth. The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture
found in many countries. It began in England during the
early 1980s when the punk subculture was in declining
phase.
 Mentality of a Goth: I want to be left alone but I want to be
seen.
 Researcher Jasin Tamlin comment: "If we take a look at the
640 sites that are listed on the Gothic Web Ring, we will find
many of them filled with desperation, depression, anger,
hatred, despair."

3. • The use of extreme black clothing, light colored makeup, unusual hair styles, body
piercing, bondage items, etc.
• A fascination with medieval, Victorian and Edwardian history.
• Wearing of symbols such as a Christian cross; an Egyptian ankh or "Eye of Ra,“
• Many Goths write about being depressed. Followers seem leftouts and withdrawn, when in
public. They are often much more "happy and carefree in the company of Goths."
• "A lot of people turn to the Gothic subculture after having a difficult time in school, feeling
alienated, and looking for a way to express themselves that mirrors those feelings. Others find
the scene through literature, still others want to be shocking."
Some factors that are commonly observed are:

4. Quotations by Goths
 "...being Goth, for me, is seeing beauty, and its coming destruction, at the same time.
For me...It's the last dance as the walls are crumbling around you..." Beatgrrl
 "[Goth] is the ability to find the art where art seems to be lacking; to find the light in
the darkness and embrace it for all its worth..." Jennifer Mason
 "When a Goth dies, God laughs." R.G. Green from the parody web site
GodHatesGoths.com.
For girls, some common Goth looks are:
 A corset top with a long, flowing or tutu-like skirt.
 A crushed velvet dress with either boots or heels.
For guys, some common Goth looks are:
 A fishnet shirt and vinyl or leather pants with some sort of boots and other various
accessories.
 A white shirt (sometimes with the collar folded up to cover the neck), black pants, a
black vest, boots or dress shoes.
 Some of the guys will wear makeup, skirts, corsets or heels. It's not really meant to be
cross-dressing because they are not actually trying to look like women. Gothic tends to
be a very androgynous thing, where some of the straight guys like to look or dress
feminine, either to challenge social gender barriers, to show that they have an open
mind, or as just a fashion thing.

26. ORIGIN: Hippie is a member, during the 1960s and 1970s, of a
countercultural movement that rejected the mores of mainstream
American life . The movement originated on college campuses in
the United States, although it spread to other countries, including
Canada and Britain .Hippies emerged from a society that had
produced birth-control pills, a counterproductive war in Vietnam,
the liberation and idealism of the civil rights movement, feminism,
homosexual rights, FM radio, mass-produced LSD and a strong
economy.
CHARACTERISTICS:
•Hippies sought to free themselves from societal restrictions,
choose their own way, and find new meaning in life.
•They favoured long hair and casual, often unconventional, dress,
sometimes in “psychedelic” colours. Many males grew beards, and
both men and women wore sandals and beads. Long flowing
granny dresses were popular with women, and rimless granny
glasses with both men and women.
•Both men and women commonly wore headbands, floppy hats,
flowing scarves, and beads with blue jeans or bell-bottoms and tie-
dyed T-shirts. Rebelling against corporate culture meant making
clothes or buying cheaply at thrift shops and military surplus
stores, so clothes were often ragged and patched or embroidered.
Flowered clothing and embroidery were popular, and flowers
became an important hippie symbol because hippies revered and
felt connected to nature.

himself, Mumtaz and ZeenatAman.The movie dealt with the decadence of the
Hippie culture in which Zeenat Aman payed the role of a westernized hippie.
