    Goth text is on light mode. Dark mode has light text.

    Computers classically have been dark screens with light elements. Think green screen CRTs like in The Matrix. I don’t enjoy large blank areas of the screen being a flashlight directly into my eyes. There’s nothing there, why’s it emitting light?

      Yes, but before computers, we had books. You’re not going to sit here and expect me to believe that the baseline text for books is goth, are you?

          Yes, but also black background with light lettering is definitely goth. See: every band shirt

          Ok, I tried it, it didn’t work. I still stand by my assertion that black backgrounds with white text are more goth.
