Hmm. I wasn't sure how to respond, because I'm not quite sure what qualifies as "goth music" these days. I liked The Cure, The Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees, et. al. back in the '80s, but I assume today's goth folk are listening to different stuff.

I guess I've answered my own question. I should have just clicked on "not a goth at all".

I clicked "not a goth, but I wear black a lot." I could've clicked "but I like the music" too, but like the previous commenter, I mostly like the stuff from the 80s. Some of the current stuff is good, but some of it.... Meh.

I also have a problem with certain folks amongst the "scene" who seemingly can't handle a person with eclectic musical tastes. Yeah, I still love Madonna & Rick Springfield. I also love Dvorak & Tchaikovsky. Queensryche & Dream Theater are amazing. And so on, ad infinitum. Me? I like music. *nods*

You forgot to include "am not a goth but like hanging around with them/shagging them".

don't call myself one really, but everyone else does.

goth means too many different things and there is a difference between having goth traits and identifying as one. i no longer identify as a goth, though i strongly did 16-18. however i still wear and excessive amount of black and like a lot of goth music. tisme, who i would class as more of a goth than me, thinks i wear too much black.

i also listen to blues, jazz, funk, hip-hop, classical, soul, motown and have a tendency to wear non goth clothes too.

methinks its a pointless definition

I should have just clicked I'm a goth, but for some reason I'm in denial.

The kids at school think I am anyway, and they would be the ones to know, right?

*laugh*

You forgot "I was goth before goth was a word."

Well, technically I'm an ex-goth and on the odd occasion I go to a goth club I look suspiciously like one. I am however, most definitely no-longer a goth.

I rarely wear black but I do tend to wear the silks and velvets that are frequently associated with goths. I'm not that much into the swirly goth music but I like it wear it overlaps with the techno-industrial..

I know I've said this elsewhere, but it bears repeating in this context.

According to my very Goth daughter, I am a "dodgy old biker with Goth tendencies."

Where was the "Isn't a goth, but other people (WRONG people) say that you are" answer?
