f u c k no!, goth and gothic are two completely different things. goth, is pretty much a title to piss off your parents. witch involves the dress, hair, music. basicly a big f*** the world. now gothic is a word for back in the medeval era. basically known as the "gothic age"

Goth: This is short for Gothic.....Goth has its roots in the Gothic era of Europe, much of which is still visible today, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, to Notre Dame Cathedral, to Tower Bridge (in London). However the current Gothic "revival", dubbed the Goth culture, sprouted up in the 1970s. During that time flashy bright colors were in, as was Disco music and elevated visibility of drug use. Goth began as an offshoot of Punk, focused on silently and peacefully revolting against Disco.
While black clothing is preferred, it is not mandatory. Furthermore, there is no single correct definition of what Goth is... each Goth may tell you a different version. Some like vampires, others do not. Vampires are a Gothic "item", like Tower Bridge, but Goths are not vampires. Two things that seemingly ALL Goths share universally are self-expression and acceptance of others. They are generally artistic, thoughtful, and questioning people, typically welcoming of others unless mocked or provoked.

well goth comes from the anchent warriors name of "goths" who came from Scandza. see more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goths#History
but refering to "gothic people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_fashion
ether way being gothic today is not a form of art or a form of ones self. people just wanna be diffenret and by dressing in dark close they keep them selves away from sociaty. a real gothic person would never do such a thing for that reason.
