Fashion for the Gothic subculture came to us from the West. Its widespread promotion of Hollywood with his films about vampires and mystical thrillers. This is a very profitable niche. A modern person who is not burdened by the daily struggle for existence needs strong emotions that would add drive to the routine of everyday life. But what began as art for some and tickling nerves for others, for the third, that is, children, became the norm. We, adults, “spoiled” this moment when our children began to perceive this imaginary world as reality and accepted its rules of the game, because everything is so unusual, romantic and not like everyday life there.
The now famous vampire saga spurred and cemented this success, knocking out the last vestiges of sanity from the heads of adolescents. Now many girls are thinking about how to become a demon, vampire or witch. In everyday hustle and bustle, we have not yet assessed the scale of the threat. But she is real. She threatens a restructuring of consciousness, a shift in values, and cardinal. And the worst thing is that human casualties can follow. Since the main postulate of the Gothic subculture is the denial of the
value of human life. No matter how we turn into a herd, while our youth are thinking about how to become a demon.
The progenitor of modern Gothic was the Catholic religion of the Middle Ages. In other religions and beliefs such passions-faces are found in much smaller quantities and they are much harmless. In these dark centuries, the science of demonology was born, studying hell and the types of demons. The church tried
intimidate his flock so that it doesn’t even dare to utter a peep. Scientists in the monasteries wrote treatises, compiled instructions to combat the dark forces, identify witches, sorcerers, and obsessed. Priests appeared,
casting out demons and demons. At the same time, the first colorful descriptions and images of evil spirits were created. Bonfires flamed across Europe. Naturally, all the strict prohibitions aroused interest and protest. And in the subconscious of people these images settled in, and devastating epidemics of the plague contributed to this. The onset of the disease was attributed to the desire of the devil to destroy the human race, and over time it became firmly associated with the machinations of people's enemies. Then there were stories that a person can become a demon or a vampire. Only by the sixteenth century did the idea come to people that the cause of the epidemics was not Satan, but elementary unsanitary conditions. When this problem was resolved, the epidemic began to decline, along with them the claims to the Antichrist and others like him came to naught. There was a lull.
In the XIX century (a relatively prosperous time in the history of mankind) the first
Gothic novels appeared. It was considered fashionable,
secular society was carried away by them (again, in order to tickle the nerves). It was entertainment, no one seriously thought about how to become a demon. And already in the XX century, "filmmakers" began to exploit this topic with might and main, they gave rise to such a phenomenon as the Gothic subculture.
Those who are considering how to become a demon should read M. Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita”. Read carefully, because it clearly shows how easy it is to lose your human qualities, and what happens to those who succumb to the temptation and whispering of evil spirits. Especially you need to pay attention to the stage in the cinema, remember that the real demon is given to become units. The rest will simply turn into an insensitive and unnecessary animal.
