Gothic music pursues the aesthetics of darkness and death. This concept that is incompatible with classic philosophical concepts has made it linger outside the gates of mainstream culture and serious art for a long time. However, the unruly Goths did not care about this at all. Perhaps the underground culture with a large system, decadence and rebellion is more suitable for its development. The usual expression techniques of Gothic music are: the male lead singer tries his best to suppress and explode, vividly expressing the desperate struggle in the dark night; the chant-like female voice in the background often has a strong compassionate temperament, while the instrumental music is The whining wind in the dark night, the howling of wolves in the moonlight and the sound of blood dripping in the soil. Gothic music also has another characteristic, which is the aesthetics of death it advocates. He is inherently tragic, and Freud once mentioned when talking about "King Lear" that tragedy aims to teach us to "give up life, give up love, and make friends with the inevitability of death." Nietzsche The tragic worldview derived from tragic art is "to affirm life, along with the pain and destruction it inevitably contains, to play with pain, and to gain aesthetic pleasure from the tragedy of life." Nietzsche's theory of tragedy is one of the few tragic theories that gives beauty to tragedy and death. It regards tragedy as brilliant and brilliant, a "metaphysical art of comfort." In order to illustrate the essence of "tragedy", both Schopenhauer and Nietzsche turned to music. It can be seen from this that it is inevitable for Gothic music to serve as a carrier of "metaphysical despair" to express the aesthetics of death. The death aesthetics of Gothic music are not only reflected in the music style, but also in its visual effects and performance art. Pale faces, exaggerated facial features, numb expressions, messy long hair, retro clothing and cold metal decorations are all classic characteristics of the Goths. Appearing in modern cities, it is another formalized novelty pursued by mainstream associations. A true Goth always has a pair of charming big eyes, which always reveal indescribable depression and self-destruction. Gothic music is not only a music type, but like all art forms, it is also an attitude towards life. Gothic is a fantasy world that allows people to escape reality and enter, a dark and romantic world.
