Teen Gothic

So basically I am a history buff and also a goth and I was wondering why is this subculture and genre of music called "goth". Cause historically it referred to an actual race of people instead of a music-based subculture. I looked arpund the sub reddit and didn't really find a straight answer. So my question basically is why are the genre and subculture called "goth" and what are its origins Edit: I know this is a dumb question but it has been bugging me for a while

I go through this sometimes. I listen to the music, participate in everything that’s with the subculture/community, etc. I usually get called a poser at school because I listen to J-goth and other random reasons. but I listen to all the goth classics. Sometimes I think these things happen more often ever since the term “tik tok goth police” became a thing. Just a random thought. What are your thoughts and comments about this? (Hopefully this entire thing I type doesn’t confuse anyone I barely post on here)

It was so hard to get this screenshot. I keep looking and Google keeps recommending dolls kill, so I had to type "no dollskill"

I get so uncomfortable when people men call me “goth bitch.” I don’t like being called “bitch” by men anyways and the fact that so many people just automatically refer to me as a goth bitch pisses me off. They automatically assume that I’m “freaky” like stop boiling me down to a gothic fuck toy. I’m not even interested in sex and it just makes me feel so icky. Anyone else feel like this?

So for context, my mom said that I am not goth. I know the history, listen to the music, dress up sometimes, know about gothic movements, some religious aspects, and everything. How am I not goth? Also, my mom is not goth herself.

This band is actually pretty fucking good their album Funeral Empyre is awesome. You should check the song Severed Head off the album its really good. They have about 25 monthly listeners on spotify and theyre a local LA band. They also have a couple records on bandcamp too. Theyre super cool!

I've only seen a few details about them here and there; they released a single called 'Egypt' and had a track called 'Every Good Man' on the New Alternatives Five comp. Any details (or music!) would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
