A type of gothic or alternative subculture style; also spelled 'goth,' emphasizing dark clothing and aesthetics.
Shortened or variant spelling of 'goth,' from the Goths (Germanic tribes of antiquity), later used for the medieval Gothic style, then adopted by 1980s youth culture as a subculture identifier.
It's wild that 'goth' subculture borrowed the name of Germanic tribes from 2,000 years ago—connecting 1980s kids in black eyeliner to barbarian history through a word!
