If it's all a joke, it's one with no punchline.
As for him calling himself goth - what about these tshirts that were sold to promote his last album:

If I remember correctly, he also had a license plate and belt buckle that said "goth" in the music video for his tainted love cover.
And what makes him not a good person is his willingness to be exploitative for profit. It's not so different from televangelists who get rich on money donated to their church.
