Not contributing anything intellectually, but this article is a lot of fun to read when one mentally envisions the modern style, looks and meaning of the word Goths.

> In 251 C.E., Roman Emperor Decius, his son, and most of his army were killed fighting Goths in what is today Romania, in one of the empire’s greatest defeats.

The biggest guy I ever saw at an anime convention was a goth. Fishnet shirt, raver pants, arm socks, eyeliner, painted fingernails, lipstick, jet-black hair down to his back, and he had to be around six-foot-five, approaching four hundred pounds of builtfat. In particular, I remember him having a massive chest/arms and a solid belly. Like an NFL lineman deeply in touch with the utter darkness of his soul.

All this to say that I am envisioning quite easily.
