My comment didn't come out as I expected. I was referring to what goth was when it began back in the 80's, when it was just a musical scene. Of course it became much more than that with time, and today there are many goths who don't even like the music.

I didn't intend to sound gatekeep-ish, just felt that the first comment about goth becoming emo and such could lead to a wrong view as if the scene was only about fashion. I apparently didn't choose the best words though :/
