There's a bunch of reasons, the music influence of black metal plays a part, those dress Goth to represent Gothic music.

Or, individually, wanting to choose your own unique styles, so girls can ignore what glossy magazines tell them what to wear, instead choosing their own.

Or rebelling against society, being seperated from the crowd, easier to spot. Or even to represent Satan, but these goths are very rare, a 'la Marilyn Manson. Or just Goths are depressed, dressing in black and stuff to share with people the misery inside themselves. And finally, the Wannabe's. To tell you the truth, I fcuking hate wannabe's, they just dress to look cool, but fear the reaction of society, whereas real Goths don't give a toss about what society thinks or says.

I rest my case.

You may have rested your case but it was not the luggage I was asking for. I wanted to know why Ann Neely, as a specific individual, chose to become a Goth.
