I know the person who posted the story just copied it somewhere else and pasted it to wattpad but frankly, I don't care. I do have to say that it's funny that some girl in glasses and a scene haircut thinks it's CoOl to know what goth is. (she doesn't)
It's not contemporary, it was a youth subculture, and it began in the mid to late 80s. Joy Division is not goth, but it did greatly influenced the scene.
Industrial and neoclassical are not goth.
NONE OF THIS MAKES YOU GOTH. This advice should be named "How to look edgy" not "How to be a goth". Sigh, I'm so tired of clueless people thinking this is what makes you goth and when faced with facts they screech "Gatekeeper"! F##k off.
