When I was in Portland a few years ago, I got a thumbs up from a Goth too. I was wearing my box pleat Brodie Hunting kilt, a button-down collar shirt, traditional hose with tied flashes, sporran, belt and brown dress shoes.

My guess is that approval from a Goth is them recognizing what they perceive as another non-conformist, and the label "Goth" from others is perhaps misapplied.
