It's funny that I'm arguing for a more inclusively colloquial definition of goth and I'm recoiling at the mention of lestat.
Must overcome revulsion. That's an example of the large differences within the wider gothic collective. I maintain that goth as widely understood is largely separate from the mostly unrelated collection of bands which had the label retroactively applied to them. To speak of 'a goth' is not equivalent to speaking of a fan of one of the canonical gothic bands.
