Imo it's not good to be overly concerned with others' opinions. Someone will always disapprove. If you believe you are "Goth enough," that's all that matters. Perhaps your critics are "Gothicker than thou." If so, it's their trouble. Maybe you are more independent and genuinely self-expressive, and it's threatening to them for whatever reason. Basically it seems they're trying to get you to conform to certain criteria/standards. If so, they're insecure and best ignored.
As for me, I do like Gothic (obviously). But it fits only a portion of my personality. And I'm okay with that.
