From my reading, goth culture seems to be rooted heavily in the romantic and neoromantic movements. This makes sense to me in that one of their cheif characteristics, to some extent, honor those of romantic movement in arts, culture, and literature. This actually explains quite a bit to me in terms of their taste for outlandish fashion, odd religious interests, and apparent fascination with strong emotion and things tied to it. Aspects of the older movement seem to have survived.
How would you compare and contrast these two related movements in terms of their philosophies and goals? What were these movements attempting to acheive?
