The idea that the only Habitat of the Goth is the American Shopping Mall is a misunderstanding, as it is the habitat of the American Mall Goth. Here’s some other places where you can find Goths:

• New Age/Witchcraft shops (The Witchy Goth).
• Metal bars/Nightclubs (The Metal/Tradgoth).
• Medieval/Victorian Old Towns (The Lesser European Dark Academic Goth, The Greater European General Goth)
• Second Hand Bookshops (The Greater European Dark Academic Goth).
• Museums (The Medieval Academic Goth).
• Glasgow Central Station (The Glaswegian Cathouse Goth, also sometimes hybridised with the Electric Trainspotter due to interbreeding).

the idea that goth girls are dependent on a consumerist habitat feels offensive

The goths are all at Affleck’s Palace, as they always will be.
