you really hit that nail on the head. all I usually hear at the 'goth nights' is trance with daaaahk Germanic vocals over top, the occasional played out Lords of Acid record, and straight up trance. It just confuses me because a lot of the "techno" (to those people anyway) out there seems like it fits the whole experimental-EBM history more. I don't understand why Legowelt, Terence Fixmer, older Anthony Rother, Drexciya etc. hasn't caught on amongst this crowd. I really can't hear the spirit of supposedly 'goth' bands like Throbbing Gristle and Skinny Puppy off stuff on Metropolis or Cleopatra. Some dude with a fake, generic European accent shout-crooning over amateur JP8000 riffs just doesn't do it for me.
