There was no EBM when the goth scene first emerged. Bands like Apoptygma Berserk, Spahn Ranch, and others were all part of the same scene. They toured alongside bands like Death In June and Black Tape For A Blue Girl.
They all shared the same labels.
It was only years later when people wanted to start breaking down the genre into sub-genres.
Much like techno. It used to be all 'techno'. Now you have house, acid house, miami club, jungle, etc.
To say EBM is not goth is a pretty silly comment if you know the roots of the genre.
Also, you can't have a goth night with just the dark-n-dreary standard goth music. You have to mix it up with some tracks that cross boundaries and also fill the dance floor.
