Heh. this is because generally when a person refers to himself as goth, he says so to assure himself of something he doubts or is trying hard to "be" goth.
In both cases, it's clear they're not being true to themselves.
Now, this is not always the case. I like calling myself goth. What made me stay within the gothic subculture was the fact that I have had some of the most fulfilling conversations with gothic people in here. I equate Goth to Savant. It may be arbitrary from my part, but that's my personal feeling behing my being a Goth.
