Teen Gothic

I’ve seen posts/comments that divide them for example, “goth and darkwave” “goth and deathrock”, I thought they were all together considered goth music?

It just gets frustrating when you’ve listened to a lot of the genres, find a song you think is goth and someone says “no that’s post punk” “no that’s darkwave” are those.. not all goth?

textpost bc idk how to make a picture like the other post

medusa stare, dead cult, they feed at night, SCHMERZ, graveyard gossip, lung overcoat, praise of folly, tabatha's nightmare, the vanishing, musta paraati, violet town, insulin reaction, isolation ward, three rose charm, marcquee moon, lost desert, spleen ideal, dead spells, dark minimal project, the forced oscillations, swans of avon

I'm new to the gothic subculture and have been seeing several things similar to the title like goths wanting to go watch the Barbie movie, so I wanted ask what does that mean? Is it like some way for goths to express that they have a soft side without showing it?
