I just can't see "poseurs" being guilty of cultural appropriation. Be honest here, the most annoying poseurs aren't the ones who merely dress goth and don't listen to the music (and I can't see whats so wrong about that) but the ones who go on about how gothy goth they are and how proud they are of the "culture" like it consumes their identity. And then get butthurt when someone just isn't goth enough.
