First Defined on Urban Dictionary by ZA2K, in this description:
Someone who identifies as EMP-Goth (Electronic Metal Punk Goth) is part of an amalgamation of Alternative subcultures, usually collected by being a part of them each in passing. Resultimg typically in an Electronic Metalhead, who Fights for Social and Environmental Justice and Equality while embracing the dark aesthetic, fashion, and nihilism of their simultaneous Goth identity.
An EMP-Goth dreads existence, but recognizes that nothing makes existence even more shitty than oppression. Therefore fights actively against the oppression of others, rocking all black, and blaring cutting edge Metal music.
The reason it is abbreviated as EMP-Goth is because of the symbolism of (you guessed it) EMPs, or Electromagnetic Pulses. A blackout technology.
It's a symbol for both resistance to oppressors In a technology and internet centric era of society, and being a part of &/or standing up for the "blacked-out" or Disenfranchised intersections of society.
EMP-Goths genre was built due to gatekeeping from it's parent genres
The only ways you can be gatekept from being EMP-Goth is if you're: Elitest, Racist, Homophobic, Transphobic, Nazi, or otherwise a piece of shit that makes the fight for equality more difficult for those of us who just want to exist safely and happily.
Just like Punk. "It's for everyone, unless you're not for everyone"

Get the Goth mug.Forget the meaning of life!
The real question is,what are goths?!
As a goth girl even I’m confused about this.
Well.Here’s a list of everything we are not.
1)Vampires
2)Freaks
3)Satan Worshippers
The most popular belief is that goths are people that wear black all the time and listen to bands such as Bauhaus,The Cure,Siouxie and the banshees.Those are some good bands that you should listen to btw.
A lot of goths are like that.But sometimes it’s different.There is pastel goth and cyber goth and etc.
The other thing is,no goth band or musician actually thinks there goth,it’s just that the gothic community has sort weaseled them in to goth because we like their music.
And yes,we can actually feel happiness,contrary to popular belief.
