- While goth refers to the subculture, the historical Germanic tribes are called Goti in Italian. This ensures that a conversation about 5th-century history is not confused with a conversation about 1980s post-punk fashion.
- The word goth is used as an invariable noun, meaning it ignores the standard Italian rules for changing endings to match gender or number.
- Because goth is a foreign loanword, it is common to see it written in italics in Italian publications to indicate it is not a native Italian word.
