Goth clubs require gloom and strobes
This is far too well lit.
Otherwise this looks like many of the clubs I spent weekends in a few decades ago.

I'd have put The Cult and UK Decay in the punk genre
But it appears that they are classified as post-punk/gothic rock. I don't think I'd even heard of gothic rock at the time so maybe I just assumed they were punk. I've been living a lie all these years - turns out I went from punk to goth without even knowing, winkle-pickers and all!
As far as Goths not liking bright light, I was wondering if the modern perception of them is different to how it was back then - this excerpt from Wikipedia sums it up:
"In recent times, especially in the course of commercialization of parts of the Goth subculture, many non-involved people developed an interest in dark fashion styles and started to adopt elements of Goth clothing (primarily mass-produced goods from malls) without being connected to subcultural basics: goth music and the history of the subculture, for example. Within the Goth movement they have been regularly described as "poseurs" or "mallgoths"."
