The first people referred to as goths in its current incarnation were fans of Andi Sexgang.
It's so fucking simple and yet so many people refuse to believe it.
A goth is a fan of gothic rock (yes, they can like other genres, too! Just as they can have skin of any colour, religious beliefs of any type, and intelligence of any level). They often partake in the affiliated fashions, most of which is modeled after what the original gothic rock artists wore on stage.
Anyone who disagrees is just trying to twist the 'definition' to suit themselves, and I truly feel sorry for anyone so desperate to hang onto such a ridiculous label.
