I think this is a cultural version of goth. That’s allowed. No, it’s definitely not what I’d expect for western goth, it’s very tame and looks almost cyberpunk or video game-ish. But if that’s a style that develops independently, that’s cool.

What do you mean by "cultural"??

What is culturally Goth about this?

Sorry, guess we’re getting back to gatekeeping goth then and dictating what another culture’s should look like?

Words have meanings. And sub cultures shouldn't be erased by people from the mainstream appropriating that culture without any knowledge or respect for what it is.

You must be so annoying.
