Word origin

The term 'Gothic' originally referred to the East Germanic tribes who played a significant role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Over time, the term evolved to represent a style of art, architecture, and subculture. Gothic architecture emerged in the 12th century in France and spread throughout Europe. The goth subculture, with its distinctive fashion and music, originated in the late 1970s and continues to influence alternative culture today.
