Whilst goths have often been accused of dwelling in the morbid and their culture with high rates of violence, teenage suicide and depression, it actually appears that an affiliation with this subculture is more likely to promote a tolerance of other individuals and their beliefs and members are more likely to be associated by a dissatisfaction with the societal failures perpetuated by current mainstream culture rather than depression or violence. At the core of the gothic subculture is the acceptance of individuality and personal creativity and so members are most often affiliated by shared aesthetic rather than politics.
