Yah, but she made a joke to express how Goth doesn't mean "feeling dark inside".
Just as well, poems aren't a way to cry. I don't cry except in the movies, and I write poems anyway. I can give this guy twoscore hundred poems that are in no way depressive; ergo, they're not another way to cry.
Hell! Even Poe sounds gaily merry when you read The Bells.
And, you cannot say Goth is an artform and not a fashion statement. It began as a musical conglomeration of different style of bands. What did join them together (save from the awesome lyrics, of course) was the image they had; there you have style.
The gothic artform as he thinks it came much later than the music and fashion.
Now then, I know that there was an architectural style called Gothic, as well as a painting form; but I didn't see him talking about flygin buttresses, colorful and well-lighted edifices, or drawings that show a sequence of biblical related events.
Let's see... what else can I say?

....

Oh, yeah, since when are sharks "missinterpreted"? More than that, since where are sharks Goth?
