Goth, or for that matter punk, emo, metal, ska and Guatemalan trancecore, is not something you 'are' or 'are not'. Some people make it a large part of their lives, some just drop in for a few hours on a Saturday evening. There's nothing wrong with either, but it's certainly wrong to be told that the other aspects of your life don't fit.
I've gone shopping in stage clothes, but I'll wear a suit when it's appropriate. OK, so I haven't worn shorts in living memory, but if I'm in leather or a lumberjack shirt it's still me, and if you put my mcody on shuffle you'll get everything from Type O to Oasis. Sometimes I'll even wear the fluffy white bathrobes we've collected from hotels. I don't feel like I'm selling out my image, or breaking the Lore of Goth, I just feel schnuggly.
