In a modern sense, refers to the culture primarily of teenagers that most directly opposes the pop culture, but also very much resembles it. Can be identified by teenagers whining about how nobody knows what it actually means to be goth, how goths are different than everybody else, and how they wear black but not because they worship the devil. Also indicative of a teenager or group of teenagers who is 'enlightened' or knows 'the truth,' which said group never actually elaborates upon. More simply, a teenage culture designed to bring association to those who would otherwise have been shunned by popular culture. Also designed to attract attention and misunderstanding by those outside the culture, generating a false sense of infathomable superiority to the general 'unenlightened' public. Goths embrace philosophy, but only in the sense that a philosophy exist.
