Teen Gothic

There’s a goth girl in my environmental science class and these few guys keep referring to her as an emo girl, I just cringe but ofc I’m not gonna speak on her behalf but it just mildly annoys me for no reason lol

The other day I started wondering about where there are still goth clubs, how old they are, how often they're open, etc. Do you have a goth club in your town or know about a goth club somewhere? Tell me about it!

For context : I consider myself a baby bat, because even tho I've been really interested in goth culture since quite a long time, I started listening to the music only recently. Btw if you have any bands similar to The Sisters of Mercy to suggest to me, feel free to do it.

I wanted to know what goth meant for people, and I fell upon these comments : https://imgur.com/N4YvZfA

I am very curious : what would you answer to these people ? I'm only 21 so I have no idea how goth scene was before. Did goth always meant "fan of goth music", or did it changed ?
