I'm listening to the sisters of Mercy... I have a Nighthawk because it's jet black... and it's called "Bela Lugosi's Dead".
no, no, not a goth at all. not a goth. no, honest.
anyway, what's wrong with gothic style?
it'd be a bit ghastly if all the ships looked like chav boy racer's escort XR3i's with under-floor lighting and bass bins.
or like Manga comicbook toys.... or lilke something out of Flash gordon. (though the music would be great. "Flaaaash! Ahah!" as you warp.  )... or worse, imagine eve with bright primary colours. WoW in space. ugh.
personally, I'd say that Eve is Industrial, rather than goth. but hey, that's just a category.
As for the subject, as a goth for more years than I want to be admitting to (let's just say I bought Floodland on it's release), I'd simply say this: it does not matter who you are, wether you're a goth, biker, rivethead, punk, skater, emo, raver, clubber, or any other category. be whoever you want to be, not what other people tell you you are.
Anyhow, if it were truly overly goth, we'd have characters in aviator shades, pale-faced loners with black hair, strange post-christian weirdoes, liberal deviants, wardrobes filled with rubber, pvc and bits of metal, sexually androygnous creatures and men pretending to be women, large listings of stimulants and drugs, ships that make reference to types of blades, and references to exotic dancers... erm. *ahem*. then again, let's not go there. Nothing at all to be seen here.
(yes, I am joking there, and playing up to goth stereotypes)

Yes, much of the Eve Online Forum community seems to be emo, if one is to judge that by the amount of whining seen here.
Me, I wear black, but I'm not goth. I'm a black jeans, black steel toed boots, black ManOWar t-shirt, black leather coat wearing computer tech. I have no time for whiners, and the best use I have found for an emo so far has been in the connection of said boots with their whiny little faces.
However on the other side I'm generally a nice guy who prefers to avoid fights, yet loves finishing them if someone really wants to go there with me ^.^
And I'm really bored atm as I'm waiting for my damn barge to get to my Ferox so I can kill things again... so excuse the rambling.

I fly combat missions while listening to Fields of the Nephilim.
Makes for nice combat mission music, although unless you're doing lvl 4's you're not going to get to listen more than 2 or 3 songs per mission.

And don't forget denying that you are or ever were goth and wearing entirely white (except for black socks) to prove it
I've got to admit that I did choose sebiestor 50% because of the description on them  , but I tried my best to make the bugger kindof friendly, failed quite bit though 
P.s. I found Bauhaus' songs in general not quite it for naming ships, something about the general length of the song names although it would be quite funny to name a newbie ship Double Dare |

Unfortunately, my character avatar is still at noob status (!)
But, I can assure you that I often mine whilst listening to Britney, Nsync, and such like.
Or not.
I'm not Goth though. I couldn't tell my Andrew Eldritch from my Rozz Williams. 
These days, I don't think Andrew Eldritch could tell himself from Rozz Williams either, really.
But no. If by gothic, one interprets the building style, I guess Amarr and Blood Raiders might qualify.
And certainly, there are avatars in the game that reminds me of one bell-ringer from the quintessial gothique building, the Norte Dame. What is it with people and screwing the character's face anyways...don't they know that the avatars are SUFFERING!
Not that anyone in here would understand, either.
Oh, and just to be in on the cool kids lines, I'm so goth my wrists slash themselves.

ohsh*t, better hide the signature then. Maybe some gunmetal and Wumpscut instead...

course he could. Rozz Williams is'nt blonde, balding, and talking absolute tripe. he's dead, which means he's producing considerably more records than Von.

Without wishing to make a prejudiced blanket general statement, the community is full of metallers who don't wash, drink cheap cider, and draw things on their face.
Whenever anyone posts a "what are you listening to now?" thread it quickly becomes full of song titles such as
"I ate your baby" by KnaaarlDeath
"Check Out My Arm Carvings" by Savage Cannibal Angst Machine
"I have a deathwish and am depressed" by Carnal Chimp Mother
etc etc
I advocate the marketing of Eve to more chavs and hippies tbh. They are funnier to take the mick out of.
Another solution would be to give an Eve disk away free with the next "HedKandi Summer Anthems 783" CD so we get more fans of clothes shop house tbh. Then instead of talking about hardcore somethingorother and the grim reaper and all that, we may get more discussions of a "do you like my new Rockport shoes?" nature. Which can only be a good thing in my opinion.
For the record, I am not a metaller or chav or hippie. I did, however, once own a pair of burberry socks.

If EvE is anything it is very 1980s.
Which isn't surprising given that the 1980s were also the golden age of Hollywood Sci Fi.
Hence EvE avatars tend to look like.
Adam ant.
Cyndy Laupier.
Andrew Eldritch.
Morrisey.
Simon LeBonn.
Lenny Kravetz.
Garry Newman.
Rick Ocasek.
Susan Janet Ballion.
Barry Andrews.
Iggy Pop.
Billy Corgan.
And of course the Emperor from Starwars.
In times of doubt I ask myself "What would BoB do?", and then do the opposite. |

Noooo, we can't have Chav's in Eve. They get everywhere as it is.
The pikey little scum would probably knick the wheels off my Destroyer or take it for a little joy ride to 0.0 space and abandon it burning...
They'd probably bully some geek in school to hack the ship code and give it a "Burbury" texture too, and they'd be seen congregating around Jump Gates drinking cider and shouting at passers by...

Anyway, eve is more Industrial than anything else. Yep definitely. Or perhaps Industrial metal would fit it even better, but i can't be arsed to find the elusive vids. 
P.S. Where's some shades for my char? Come on ya brutors, stop being so selfish.

I doubt the game wil be overtaken by emos. Emos are not known for sticking around very long, if you know what I mean. Perhaps there is a growing sense of apathy or nihilsm in the game as younger players brush up against the dominance of older players. Much like RL.
