Answer 2

You know yourself and name has nothing to do with it,but if you are involved with this article below,you will be considered as one:Some claim that goth is defined by androgyny, black clothes, black hair dye, death, darkness, depression, heavy makeup, horror (inspired by fiction and film), Nihilism, sensuality, silver jewellery or any number of other things. Others protest that these categories are stereotypical and generally cause more harm than good.

The word goth, as it relates to the modern subculture, is a neologism laid claim to by a number of famous figures associated with the goth movement [1].

The meaning and implications of the term have naturally evolved through the years, though it seems to have been used, at the time, to describe the new 1980s post-punk bands; bands which were close to the spirit of punk, but with a more despairing, introverted form of anger.

As a subculture, goth has many variations, both stylistic and regional, which have diverged and merged over the past two decades. A large number of terms have developed to describe goth types (e.g. Perkygoth, Cybergoth, Mopeygoth). In referring to goth as a whole it is easier to think of it as a movement, driven by gothic fashion and gothic rock, its members generally exhibiting some degree of taste for a dark, supernatural aesthetic.
