Teen Gothic

I was watching a live performance of Jesus and Mary chain and they looked pretty goth to me, what do y'all think?

Hear me out. Somebody Else by the 1975. I've been listening to it a lot recently and I feel like the lyrics and mood of the song would fit in with goth music if it were made into a goth cover.

My partner and I have both dreamed of opening a cafe type business, and both of us had a similar experience of growing up in the scene but not having a place to hangout other then malls. Even now as adults we don’t really go to nightclubs, and there aren’t many quiet places to be part of the scene and hangout for people with sensory issues or who aren’t allowed in the clubs or bars. We were considering a goth themed cafe where people could come and be a part of the scene in a calmer atmosphere. But this would only be possible if people were actually interested, otherwise it wouldn’t exactly be successful. Would the Chicago scene be interested in a place like that?

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 ?
