Goths were originally ancient Germans. Although I am unsure about the link between the German Goths, and the Gothic era, I beleive it to be a combination of the two, to have started this particular following. During a time of Spartans, Barbarians, Vikings, Celts and the beginnings of the Roman empire, its difficult to discern any kind of culture amidst the history we have about battles and warriors etc.
I do know that it has alot to do with Alchemy, and that Gothic beleifs lye within a following of god defying science. As far as the Alchemists could see, God was preventing them from making all the valuable advances in science, and Satan was not, therefore they trusted in Satan.
Pretty logical when you think about it.
