Goth can be an outlook on life, but it is in no way shape or form an organized religion. -_-*
Take for example the fact that there are wiccian goths and christian goths. Both have a gothic mindset, but both have a different set of values and beliefs that that practice.
The big problem with this thread is that there are multiple definitions to goth. There is the music and the scene, there is the fashion, and then there is the ever ellusive to pin down outlook aspect. All three are very valid and different main branches of goth, and none of them have any relationship to actual religion organized or otherwise.
I think that perhaps your viewpoint is a bit...unresearched. There are many different threads in this guild that try to struggle with defining what goth is, but none of them try to explain goth as a religion because it just isn't true. Satanism, Christianity, Pagan, Hindu, Jewdaism, Islam : Those are all religons.
Goth is a subculture, goth is a music genere, goth is a fashion, goth is a frame of mind, but it has no doctorine that must be followed. There is no covanent, no deity, no personification of the epitome of goth. There is no chruch or cult of goth, there just is what there is.
You seem to be a bit confused. I would suggest reading a few threads about the guild to gather more information.

verrycherryblood you know watevr u guys just havent diged hard enogh i know its a religion so yea If you can back up that rather bold statement with some shread of evidence or proof, even so much as citing a source for such information you might find more people willing to lend an ear to your words, but so far you've provided nothing to support your claim.

I'm going to be nice, VeryCherryBlood.
I'm not going to tell you that goth isn't a religion, even though I don't believe that it is. I'm not going to tell you the origins of goth, despite having written a details synopsis on the topic.
What I am going to do is ask something of you. Not what the tenants of goth are, not who the primary deity or object of worship it. I'm not going to ask for what ritualistic aspects are played out in goth, not what sort of organization it has, despite all of these things being necessary to, and defining of, any religion.
What I am going to ask you to do is very simple. Go to Wikipedia, or Google, and simply type in "Goth".
Explore as many links as you can, and try to pay more attention to sourced information than opinion.
I've spent years compiling what I know about goth, as I suspect that other in this guild have. So, before you proclaim to know exactly what goth is, please do some non-bias research.
