I think this quote of Sigmund Freud's defense mechanisms fairly well describes why so much hostility is directed towards the Goth Subculture.
'Reaction formation takes place when a person takes the opposite approach consciously compared to what that person wants unconsciously. For example, someone may engage in violence against another race because, that person claims, the members of the race are inferior, when unconsciously it is that very person who feels inferior."
It's just basic psychology, if you feel threatened by something destroy it.
