Yes, but before computers, we had books. You’re not going to sit here and expect me to believe that the baseline text for books is goth, are you?
Last time i checked books weren't a light source
Yes, but also black background with light lettering is definitely goth. See: every band shirt
You can use a white screen as an impromptu flashlight, try that with a book.
Ok, I tried it, it didn’t work. I still stand by my assertion that black backgrounds with white text are more goth.
