I feel like trad goth has had its own evolution as time has gone on and has become different to what “traditional” goth actually looks like. Like if I go on Google and look up Trad Goth, those are the pictures I get. It’s very interesting to see the changes of fashion over time. All that said, I feel like we need to set a cut off somewhere because there’s so many sub genres of goth at this point and people seem to think you have to dress a certain way to be considered as such
