"seriously - there may have been another type of goth before - but this is undeniably what it has become now .."



That is the point I have been trying to make all along. That goth is not what it used to be. That it was changed, it regressed, its a knock-off of a quality product.
Think about how when you here someone talking about how awesome "The Fog" is and they go on and on, you try to say something to them about it and they're like "what"? Then you realize they saw the remake, the horribly diluted, unrecognizable remake, and are completely unaware that John Carpenter made an original. From that generation on, when most people refer to "The Fog" it will be the crappy remake instead of the original. And something that was great will, yet agian, be lost, thanks to crappy knock-offs.
