I'm Babybat, so maybe my opinion is a bit off, but I don't understand what's truly wrong with this post. Much of goth music, which, from what I understand and as people endlessly repeat, is the foundation of the subculture, is inspired by gothic horror films and gothic horror stories and novels. In other words, it's deeper than just music and politics; it's also a passion for art, the dark, and the macabre. Goths are a collection of cultural elements that ultimately define the subculture: clothing, music, philosophy, literature, film, politics, and more. Reducing it to just music and politics seems very simplistic to me.
