TTT(EF's way of bumping, to the top)
On a probably hijacked note, gothic is WAY too universal. There's no way you can strap a single definition on such a word. Way too many people who have nothing in common go around using the term "gothic," to describe themself. I'd personally use the definition "A longing to be different and/or unique without compromising personal ethics or merits."
That always gets battled by "gothics" saying that they never wanted to be different or unique, that they were different and unique all along. I don't even try this type of thing anymore
