Hi I'm new too! In answer to your question I am not entirely sure, but I assume a lot of goths dye their hair black because of the associations with things like crows and bats (animals associated with death), and also black is associated with death and the darker side of life. I mean also when goth first arrived it was like a reaction to punk, and wearing all black is a reaction to the maybe brighter colours the punks were wearing, and also the hippies before them and the brightly coloured/patterned mainstream fashion of the 70's/80's. That is what I thought originally, but I'd like to know more about what you said about Dracula. Anyway sorry if I rambled!
