Goth's in your head, not your clothes...
"Goth is an interest in the dark and macabre from an aesthetic standpoint." Yeah. An appreciation for, or particular interest in, art, literature, movies, clothing, music, etc. that deals with subjects that other people might consider morbid or depressing.

And the dark clothes have roots in all that. Funeral colours. If you're only interested in the style of clothing popular among goths, and it's for no reason other than because your friends wear it or it just looks kinda cool, you might as well not be wearing anything at all for all the 'goth points' it would gain you.
