In the big 2026, "goth" apparently just means "black lipstick".

Nah, this girl would be called goth in 2007 and would have a flock of nerds behind her in each situation. Doesn't depend on time, depends in people who care about subcultures.

In 2007 we'd have called this look emo--2000s goth was way more industrial-influenced (and tattooed, it was very pierced and tattooed as a look).

Fair enough. I always hated how everyone with a forelock was called emo automatically.
