I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to gothic culture, since the closest I've gotten to it is painting my nails black. But I do know that beyond the clichés of dark eyeliner and teen angst hides a pretty diverse music scene. If you're 21 or older, begin (or continue) your gothic education with Goth Night hosted by DJ Johnny Coffin starting at 8 tonight at Zodiac (230 Pueblo Ave., zodiacvenue.com). Its Facebook page says to be prepared for "unadulterated amounts of chaotic noise" focusing on, but not limited to, genres including the underground '80s, neo-pagan folk, death rock and grim techno. — Jenny Rackl
