Goths often wear black clothes and unusual jewelry. In May 2009, a radio station in Great Britain was discussing music subcultures. From this discussion, Goth music DJs, Cruel Britannia, and Martin Oldgoth created World GothDay. They decided the day would fall on May 22nd. The word Goth comes from the word Gothic which actually means gloomy or dark. World Goth Day began in the United Kingdom and is now celebrated throughout the world.
Both goth men and goth women often wear make-up. The goth subculture originated in the early 1980s among fans of the first gothic rock group, Bauhaus.
