Personal Definition of "Gothic"
The term "Gothic" has a variety of different terms, ranging from literature to current fashion trends. To me, the definition of "Gothic" means fear and horror. I'm not much of a fan of the fashion trends; I find them tacky. Whenever I think of the word "Gothic", I'm always taken back in time when Gothic architecture was an up and coming idea and when books were centered around the 'fear' that Gothic was said to bring.

You make a good point when you write that the term "Gothic" applies to a variety of different aspects in the world. I agree that Gothic means fear and horror. However, I would also expand upon what Gothic architecture and fashion actually is and expand upon why you find the fashion trends tacky. Elaborate on what makes Gothic more than just a term of fear and horror.
