i don’t understand the argument that “goth music is just what goths enjoy” as a counter for saying goth is a music based subculture

like… no? gothic rock has existed a long time, and is pretty clearly definied with a relatively destinct sound. i could see some arguments being made for lumping in some adjacent genres, but saying any music goths like is goth music is a dumb argument since not only, like i said, does goth have a pretty clear musical definition, but also goths can like non goth music. i like hyperpop, that doesn't suddenly make 100 gecs a goth band.

plus, if you get rid of a definition for what goth music is other than stuff that goths like, then you also end up getting rid of a definition for goth

sorry for posting a lot of discussion posts, i'm a bit high and by extension wired/chatty lol. i didn't see anything in rules about repeat posts other than posting music, but i can take down some discussion posts if need be

Just reminded of how people don’t understand that goth is a music based subculture

I was laughing at this Tiktok that was talking about how goths destroyed the temple of Artemis and the comments were like “my bad” and there was one comment that was like “destroyed by people who listen to MCR” and my smile never dropped so fast 😭 like not the MCR 😭😭(no shade to them ofc, love those guys)
