I believe, however, there are those that can be "goth-minded", but not goths. People like Edgar Allan Poe, Neil Gaiman, maybe some painters like Edvard Munch or Dali might be considered goth-minded for their aesthetics, but they've never heard a piece of goth music in ther life, so they're oviously not goth.

It's like with diseases there is the flu then there is bacterial meningitis. They both have similar symptoms but there is a definite difference between the two.
