Not really, being yourself is great but if you don't like goth music then being yourself has nothing to do with being a goth.

And exactly what beliefs do you think make someone a goth?

No what is childish, and far too frequent on here, is when someone comes from somewhere without a goth scene, without any real interaction with the goth subculture, and insists that they know what it is all about and gets mad when people who are actively involved in the subculture tell them the truth.

No one is hating on you for not knowing what it's really about, there is a lot of misinformation out on the internet, mostly from people who use goth and gothic interchangeably despite the fact that they are not related and that only a small portion of goths are into gothic stuff. They try to make goth into this romanticized ideal but that isn't it.
