You don't have to.
Those aren't "goth categories". They just happen to be subcultures and cross-over cultures with goth. You don't have to be part of one. Most goths aren't.
Also, the traits listed (which you copied) don't act as a "goth check list". They're common traits amongst goths, but they're not essentially what "makes someone goth".

MortSanglant GilAskan KuroHono09 dont you people understand yet just because that is what is written doesnt mean that if you fall under some of the stuff you are goth and that doesnt mean that just because you dont fall under any of it you arent goth i mean holly crap he has only said it like what 12 times now I highly, highly doubt that 100% of readers will ever get it, unfortunately. It's because most people who claim to be goth feel they need to conform to some sort of mold.
They claim they're individuals, yet hold odd standards for which they and others must meet to be considered part of the subculture.
It's a disgusting oxymoron.

I don't think it's a matter of trying to conform to a mold, so much as it's a need to legitimize or justify their presence in the goth community.

IY_and_MCR -Resurrected Writer- GilAskan KuroHono09 dont you people understand yet just because that is what is written doesnt mean that if you fall under some of the stuff you are goth and that doesnt mean that just because you dont fall under any of it you arent goth i mean holly crap he has only said it like what 12 times now I highly, highly doubt that 100% of readers will ever get it, unfortunately. Well, at least it seems like... 4% who have gotten the message clearly? If my experiance moderating at The Yaoi Guild as tought me anything, it's that if one person an actualy grasp a point more complex than "THAT SUX!!1! LOLOLOLOL" you're doing a good job. Seems to be the case with any large internet board (with a few exceptions to the rule).
