The History of Goth: For Kids!
Long before black lipstick and post-punk basslines, there were candlelit cathedrals, crumbling castles in gothic novels, and Victorians who turned mourning into an art form. The History of Goth: For Kids traces one of the world's longest-running subcultures from its roots in medieval architecture and 18th-century ghost stories through the post-punk clubs of late-1970s Britain, all the way to today's global, internet-connected goth communities.
Written for curious young readers, this book digs into the music, fashion, literature, and history behind the goth aesthetic - and takes a clear-eyed look at the myths and stereotypes that have followed it for decades. No jump scares, no clich s: just a straight, thoughtful account of how a small, misunderstood scene became a lasting piece of world culture.
