What is goth? And Paint it black by Aurelio Voltaire

Auntie Jill,
I have recently come across some claims that Goth is strictly a music subculture, and that if a person does not listen to goth music, they are not a *real* goth. I wanted to know your opinions on this, as someone with great knowledge on the gothic subculture and its history.
Sincerely,
A wee baby bat
AHAHAHAHAH oh G-D the never ending argument ... er, debate. The short form of my opinion: Yes, the modern goth subculture sprung out of the postpunk music scene of the late 70s/early 80s. But part of the reason the subculture thrives to this day is that music scene went hand-in-hand with a specific aesthetic and artistic references. And who is defining "goth music"? That umbrella term covers a LOT of sub-genres. There is no checklist of Bands You Must LIsten To In Order To Be Goth. (There isn't, I will fight those who say otherwise.) So. The goth subculture is strongly tied to music, but that isn't the sole thing that defines the subculture. If you want to read more of my thoughts on this: The Never-Ending Goth Debate
A Slight Reprise of the Never-Ending Goth Debate

On this day, May 22, in Type O Negative history:
Type O Negative play an unknown venue in Portland, OR (1994)
Type O Negative play The Thunderdome with Ozzy Osbourne and The Rollins Band in St. Petersburg, FL (1996)
Ever since that weird-looking dog bit him during a plumbing call, Kenny had been having strange dreams of wandering through the moonlit woods and ...feathers. The strange dreams seemed to stop after he stabbed his finger with a silver solder-tinned wire while replacing the pickup in his guitar. And so ended the stories of the mysterious pigeon-devouring 'Midwood Monster' that was rumored to stalk Prospect Park.
If today is your birthday, you share your special day with riff-master, lyricist, songwriter, vocalist, and resident 'Wolf Boy', Kenny Hickey! Happy Birthday to you and to Kenny!
World Goth Day
If you find yourself drinking werewolf coffee and listening to Fields whilst browsing the Lip Service site for something to wear to Whitby Goth, you might be a Goth Rocker.
If you find yourself chain-smoking clove cigarettes while waiting for moonrise, you might be a Goth Rocker.
If you find yourself wanting to go out because it's raining and blowing, but you can't go out because your roots are showing, you might be a Goth Rocker. (apologies to Jeff Foxworthy)
Despite Type O Negative's rejection of the "Goth" label to describe their unique musical style, observant Goths are guaranteed to be listening to two songs today- Type O Negative's "Black No. 1" and Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead".
Voltaire, author of the 2004 book What is Goth?, briefly describes his observations of the vintage New York Goth scene:

I believe the goth has forgotten how to be goth. It's not about Porn, S&M and sexual desires. AKA the Hot Goth Chick/Dude. It's about the loving the unknown... The darker side of LIFE and DEATH. I have posted what the definition of what GOTH is please take some and read it. I'm the first to admit I have miss tag some of my goth photos as goth when they are just soft Porn.

“Omg, I love these! They go up to size 6X AND they have pockets?! Wow!! But do you have anything longer?”
Sure do, no problem!!
“YES these are great!!! But what about.. longer?”
I gotcha!! Comin’ right up!
“Perfect! But I have just one more question… what if I’m feeling spicy? How about skirts that are even shorter than the first ones?!” Oh, you’re in luck! We’ve got minis now.
