@Miss Absynthe:
What am I doing wrong? I apologised, and I think that should be sufficient.
@Thanatosofos
I would have to say that judging by a lot of the comments on GNET and other Gothic forums, I would have to say that there is an elitist element.

There's a problem right there. If I label myself "Goth," then I run the risk of being called a "poseur," regardless of the fact that I like Gothic rock, fashion, philosophy, personality, lifestyle, and aesthetics. To some, such things will never be enough. For example, I will admit that I have never been to a Gothic club. To some, that's a Gothic faux pas.
Indeed, no matter how "GAF" someone actually is, he or she will probably be labeled a poseur by someone else in the scene.
The other problem is that if I don't label myself as a Goth, then I will likely be seen as an outsider by other Goths, no matter how much I identify with the various aspects of the subculture (music, fashion).
