I used One-Look Dictionary at http://www.onelook.com/index.html to find
this Wikipedia article: http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth which
begins (with tons of hyperlinks):

"This article is about the contemporary goth movement. For the
Germanic tribes, see the Goths.

Goth is a modern popular subculture that gained visibility in the punk
era in the 1970s. It is often associated with a particular style of
music and a "uniform" that goes with it, typically all black with
velvet and leather being two primary materials worn.

(snip)

Some claim that goth is defined by androgyny, black clothes, black
hair dye, death, darkness, depression, heavy makeup, horror (inspired
by fiction and film), Nihilism, sensuality, silver jewellery or any
number of other things. Others protest that these categories are
stereotypical and generally cause more harm than good.

(snip)

It is also debatable as to whether goth is really a subculture, since
such a thing is characterised by unified beliefs and outlook, whereas
goth is characterised by divergent beliefs and outlook. (snip) In
referring to goth as a whole it is easier to call it a movement,
driven by gothic fashion and gothic rock, its members exhibiting a
general taste for a dark, supernatural aesthetic.
