The goth subculture does encompass more than gloom and dressing in all black.  (There are at least a dozen sub-categories; perkygoths, for example, tend to wear a lot of pink.)  The tired old stereotype is what people outside the scene seem to focus on though...

It is a HUGE industry...Many mainstream artists (models and photogs alike) would get inspired and even learn a thing or two if they educated themselves about other forms of the biz..
also, Check out, the fine art by Lithium Picnic (in my opinion, the best artist in the "gothic" industry.)

LithiumPicnic.com

and the hottest "gothic" model
"apnea"--her website is --->   Apneatic.com

These are AMAZING artists that inspired me to become a model. 

seriously folks...alot of people have been commenting nothing that has any information substance. 

  Lots of LOVE!!!  ~terrace.

Lithium Picnic and Apnea aren't "goth"

Goth is not fetish is not goth.

Well, since Apnea has made the cover of Gothic Beauty two times and is a regular between its pages, I'd say she qualifies as a goth model....and even if she denies it, goths are REQUIRED to deny their "gothness," lol.   
Look, I make no bones about it-I'm a goth chick (though I won't stay stereotypical, I'm a happy person w/a fondness for the color pink) in-terms of the music I love, the clubs I go to, my aesthetic preferences- but I'm also a fetishist with a deep love of latex, corsetry, and bondage.   
You can be BOTH a goth and a fetishist, and there's a lot of crossover between the genres, whether some like it or not, it's there.

With a statement like that I think further explanation is owed.  I'll buy into it if the argument is compelling enough, but on the surface equating Johnny Cash and Goth is stretching it a bit.  The man in black did travel on the dark side, but not due to being trendy as much as goth is today.

I could definitely write you a lovely treatise on the links between mideaval folk tunes,  bluegrass, delta blues, gospel, soul and classic country and their relation to what is now called "Goth" [it would probably be titled "Hellhound on the trail of Matteye Groves" or something].  But it would take a few days to arrange all the facts and music sources and another few days to write, and that's a committment I only make when an editor is actually paying me for the piece.  I'm sure you understand.
