Goth does not equate to Satanism. Many of the symbols associated with Goth are from a Pagan foundation and were subsequently redefined by Christian religion as their own, but given Satanic meaning. Hence, your parents’ confusion. More recent events like the Columbine massacre have also been misassociated with Goth. There are segments of the neo-Goth culture that follow a different set of beliefs than what was originally considered the ancient Goth culture. Depending on your beliefs, your choice of the Goth attire might be just as connected as people who wear gang related attire, but aren’t actually in a gang or follow gang behavior. No true connection, but just want the look. If it’s just fashion you want, then explain that to your parents. If it’s the belief system you’re following, you better understand and then explain what your beliefs are to your parents.
