There is indeed a style of music called "New Romantic". Ever hear of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Blancmange, Soft Cell, OMD, Japan, Modern English? Or do you refer to them simply as 80's bands? Sorry, that was rude.

Alright, you have me in the second part of your post- I accept that there is a style of music called New Romantic, but I maintain that the subculture is older than the musical style.
What you said wasn't rude at all, and I hadn't intended to some off as rude, but my post retained a rather snarky edge due to inner turmoil on this site... and the suspision that you might have been one of these people who is incredibly polar about things like Future Pop vs Aggro Industrial based on nothing but opinion.
The music and clothing are things that goths do, not things that we are. Again, do you not understand that there must be an audience and an artist, or even just an artist acting as their own audience before there can be art? It's not a chicken and the egg type question. Art that does not occur in nature had to come from somewhere, and the artist didn't just find their art on their doorstep one day.
*goths* created the *music*, *music* did not create the *goths*.
