The gothic subculture

eerily strangely, creepily, mysteriously

tresses thick mass of hair

sub-culture cultural subgroup, sect

appreciation thankfulness, gratitude

dichotomy difference, division

assigned accredited, entrusted

embrace grasp, cradle, to hug (not in this text)

intellectualism the use, exercise and development of the intellect

underdog an unlikely winner in a contest or struggle

morbid gloomy, nasty, sickly

seminal generative, influential
