The Goth subculture is a dark, sometimes morbid, eroticized fashion and style of dress. Typical Gothic fashion includes dyed black hair, black lips and black clothes. Both male and female goths wear dark eyeliner and dark fingernails. Styles are often borrowed from the Punks, Victorians and Elizabethans. BDSM imagery and paraphernalia are also common.

This excludes stuff like gothic architecture, neo-gothic art, 'traditional' gothic art, secular gothic style, etc etc

Don't forget the German barbarian tribes that precipitated the collapse of the Roman Empire.
