Pretty much, if you find anyone who identifies as 'goth' it's usually just the aesthetic. They like the clothing style, that's it.

Goth, has that actually been a thing post-2004?

Didn't youth culture swing to vampire kids? I get all my info on pathetic Jr high trends from South Park.

Modern goths are the new conformists.

Every goth I knew from high school doesn't look anything like it anymore. They figured this out before it happened lol

Closest you get is some chick wearing black lipstick and pretending she totally loves vampires or whatever, nowadays. Heck, even the NCIS chick toned down her... gothiness?... a while ago and that was pretty much her entire schtick.

Any modern day goth is usually a teenager who really likes black and is going through their typical, "I'm, like, so misunderstood," phase. Most of them just turn into tumblrinas instead.

Also, the chicks into goth stuff are invariably fat.

Well dark colors hides the folds.

Even back in the 90s, pre-columbine, they were all dorks. I guess they thought that dressing like a vampire would scare the bullies away, but it just made them bigger targets. These kids think they look like The Crow or Neo, but it's just a nerd in a black trench coat. Same with the aforementioned fat chicks. They think they look like freakin' Elvira and they really just look like pigs.
