Visual Elements
In terms of fashion, gothic bands incorporated influences from 19th-century Gothic literature along with horror films and to a lesser extent the BDSM culture. Gothic fashions within the subculture range from deathrock, punk, androgynous, Victorian, some Renaissance and Medieval style attire, or combinations of the above, most often with black clothing, makeup and hair. Gothic singers used to crimp their hair in the 1980s.
