Help with research on Victorian Goth subculture

Hello! I am a 19 year old and am currently taking a seminar called “Sensing Cultures”. As a part of this class, I am required to research a culture (or subculture) I am interested in. I am researching the Victorian Goth subculture and wanted to post some questions here! Thank you for answering in advance 🫶 Have a good day!

1	Age/gender (if that's okay) and when did they begin dressing in the Victorian goth style.

2	Are you heavily influenced by history?

3	What styles of clothing do you wear? (Fabrics, colors, patterns,)

4	What forms of literature/media influence your fashion?

5	What are some personal beliefs that you hold?

6	What is your favorite makeup style (if you do it?)

7	Why do you dress/express yourself in this style? 

8	What is a misconception you think people have about individuals in this subculture?

9	Anything you would like to add?
