You can listen to show tunes and still be goth. Repo the genetic opera exists. Not saying its peak. But Paris Hilton loses her face at least. Sports isn’t a deal breaker either. Just remember your SPF or you might end up looking like Beelzebob. It’s all on the back of your goth card. Just check. And don’t forget to renew it every once in a while.
Sure. Though like Cats or Rent if you like. It doesn’t have to fit an aesthetic. There are popular aesthetics in the scenes. But remember the aesthetic doesn’t define the scene. We absolutely adore gothic and horror aesthetic. But about the least punk/goth thing you can do is tell someone that liking X means they can’t be punk/goth.
You like Joni Mitchel? Fawkin rawk right? You wanna pogo or slam dance in a black toga? Sure why not. You love goth, and Korn, Slipknot, and My Chemical Romance are your favorite “goth” bands? I’ma stop you right there and say. Here try all these other groups more goth associated. You might like them too. I ain’t gonna gate keep or discourage someone that’s open and interested in learning. Even if I don’t care for those bands or think they fit. Cyber goth, pastel goth, glitter goth, Summer goth, baby bat…whatever Let your freak flag fly. It’s about self expression and rebellion. Even if it’s against a suffocating aesthetic regime in your local scene. =P
100%. Outside of Zydrate all the other “songs” are just badly written sing talking. The story over all is just barely even mid. But a fine enough watch through once. Still, slip zydrate into a DJ set and there will be a gaggle of goths singing along.

Phantom of the Opera counts as show tunes, I imagine that would be quite Goth-adjascent

Oh yeah, absolutely!
That was just the first Broadway Musical that popped into my head to associate with goths ;-)
You aren’t wrong that’s for sure
Repo would be a lot better if it weren’t written by who it was written by, but I guess it probably wouldn’t exist if that were the case.
