Dude. If you think you've got it bad, I'm 21 and I still live with my Catholic Grandparents (apparently I'm not eligible for a flat yet).
They constantly moan about my appearance and how a young lady like me shouldn't wear black and heavy eye make up.
But I just ignore them. That's all you can do. Keep the peace. I know it's difficult (especially when they slam your favorite music), but you have to remember that, to them, the Goth lifestyle is dark and scary. It's been portrayed as evil and Satanic by popular media (remember when Marylin Manson's music got blamed for that Goth chicks suicide a few years ago?). Parents are GOING to be scared of it.
