Goth vs Vampire
Goth and Vampire are subcultures that individuals nowadays are so keen to follow. Both subcultures defy the ordinary, from fashion statement to musical taste as well as symbolism. The definition for each culture more often than not relies on how the avid follower sees it.
Goth
Goth subculture is contemporary and was founded during the 80’s in England; this subculture has apparently survived and is being redefined by a lot of teenagers and young adults. Mostly, when you speak of Goth, others will describe it as a fashion of all black. Nowadays, when you see an individual wearing all black dress or outfit, black shoes, and black make-up, it is assumed that the person is Goth.
Vampire
Vampire subculture on the other hand, assumes or practices the rituals and believes in the symbolism behind the modern vampire culture. Vampire subcultures do not consist of dead or immortal people. Instead, they are individuals who worship the folkloric stories of vampires ranging from music, fashion and they even perform blood rituals. The fashion statement is usually similar to the vampire movies we now see in the cinemas.
