I do. But then I'm pretty old. Not an original vintage goth but at least an early 90s one. SiouxsiePernova hit the nail on the head back on page 1 - it's a self-depreciating term, a joke, rather than any actual kind of style.
If I recall, it all went down something like this:
"Oooh, those wannabes can't be real goths, they are wearing pink and being *shudder* cheerful. How can they be so perky? Do they not know that all life is doomed to end in entropy, decay and clove-cigarette-induced emphysema?"
"Perky? Yay! We are perkygoths! You mopeygoths don't know what you are missing! *bounce* *frolic*"
It was a joke against people who didn't get that you don't have to take yourself seriously. Which you don't, by the way. Hehe.
