Answer and Explanation:
1. The Gothic subculture is accessible to the point of being a subculture spread throughout the world, making it possible for the search for references to be easily met. In addition, anyone who wants to know more about this subculture and how to be part of it, will find it easy to research, since it is a highly popular subculture to the point that it has already become a part of pop culture.
2. Subcultures are supported to the extent that they meet the standards established by society. This is because subcultures that do not meet these standards are often judged, devalued and suppressed.
4. Gothic has little influence on my visual identity, but it has attracted a lot of my attention in the form of arts and literature which I think has a strong influence in awakening feelings and perceptions in me.
