Goth Philosophy Explained
When it comes to goth, the filter that determines what we find beautiful impacts our lifestyle of consumption, semiotic expression, music preferences, cultural norms/ideals, identity, and even ontology. The key area of the debate among goths, is what specifically constitutes that filter. My model of philosophical aesthetic or perhaps "pleasure aesthetics", largely relies on a phenomenological framework, and is constituted via 3 core pillars. Those 3 simply defined would be:
Uncanny: Making strange social conventions, art, etc. through morbidity, artifice, melancholy and sometimes parody. The discomforting or unnerving feeling as if someone has just walked over your grave.
Poeticism (the romantic): The emphasis on emotional experiences, largely derived from the fantastic, the mysterious, the Gothic, and the saccharine.
Otherness: The state of being different from and alien to mainstream cultural norms. Broadly through sartorial idioms, but this can include any other individual expressions of otherness through gender, sexuality etc. This is constructed within the context of a broader cultural discourse and as such is not static. This is largely where the "discordant bricolage" or the refusal to be nailed down and classified originates from in the goth ethos.
