It's an intriguing little hypothetical question. I like it. Now, if we just had some deaf gnetters weighing in on this, we might get more than supposition and distracting tangents...*
I should think it would be very difficult to find a place in a culture so rooted in - and theoretically, defined by - music; aside from vibrations and lyrics, there's not a lot to latch on to in that sense. I guess it's a good thing the goth subculture encompasses a whole little world of sensory rewards in actual practice. And who doesn't like the tactile, the visual, the atmospheric, and the literary, quasi-historical, and creative aspects when it really comes down to it? To make a completely lame analogy, they aren't the foundation of goth, but they are certainly load-bearing walls.
