The thing I never understood about goth is that it looks like so much effort. The makeup, cloths, hair, it all looks like a ton of work. I always thought it was about embracing how dismal and pointless life is.
That's nihilism goth is more an aesthetic and lifestyle. Doesn't necessarily have to have a deeper meaning.
Yeah, I think I look at it like a template for self expression. If it helps you say what you want to say, then more power to you. What exactly that is won't be the same for each person.
