Teen Gothic

"Goth music" from my understanding would be considered a noun. However alone, is the word "goth" considered an adjective, as it's describing the noun "music"?

Similar example: "Folk" on it's own would be considered an adjective, however "folk music" would be considered a noun.

According to https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Goth, in this context it IS a noun even without the "music" attached? As in, "goth" on it's own is synonymous with "goth music".

According to https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/goth, goth IS an adjective, meaning "(of music) in a style of guitar-based rock with some similarities to heavy metal and punk and usually characterized by depressing or mournful lyrics". It would appear, depending on the source, the word alone can either be a noun or an adjective.

Interestingly enough, according to https://www.dictionary.com/browse/gothic, the term "gothic" IS being used as an adjective to describe a different type of music from a different period.

What is your opinion?

Hi I want to find some more gothic content on YouTube, especially channels! Not super popular ones like BlackFriday etc. but some smaller channels, even your own if any you of you have a channel! Thank you!🖤

Beyond surprised but was a nice surprise to see they'll be performing at Salt Lake city next month. Anyone on this sub in the SLC area and thinking of hitting the show? Never seen them live
