i keep seeing videos on tiktok talking about how you need to agree with the "goth political values" to be a goth, but no one ever actually says what they are.

goth is obviously counter culture so i'm assuming that that is an element but other than that all i can think of is DIY and buying from charity shops and that. i know that goth is an off shoot of punk, but goth music really isn't all that political, at least definitely not to the extent that punk music is. some songs might have a political message but that is the same with all music.

ive never seen anyone, other than random comments, mention these elusive goth political values and i'd really like to know specifically what they are beyond being vaguely leftist.
