Teen Gothic

I’ve heard a lot lately about like, appropriating goth stuff and posers and stuff, so I have a question:

Is it ok to incorporate traditionally “goth” elements into my fashion if I don’t really claim to be goth and don’t listen to goth music that much? I primarily listen to emo/punk, art rock and metal with a bit of goth here and there, but I wear tons of clothes and makeup that make most people call me gothic/goth.

I’ve always wanted to just go for a darker, more “refined” emo style and never claim to be goth, but like, a few actual goths I know have been talking a lot about “aesthetic-ization” or whatever of goth and I’m kinda worried I’m doing that
