The correct term for the Lolita style is Gothic Lolita, not goth lolita/gothloli/whatever else. EGL isn't even the correct term for it.

Actually, the correct terms is Lolita and just lolita. Just like the word Otaku is constantly misused.

Lolita is the style. there are various types such as priate lolita, walolita, hime lolita, aristrocrat lolita, sweet lolita, punk lolita and gothic lolita. These are just naming a few but how we use latin is how they use their words as well. Lolita is a style that takes up their way of life. It is based on a particular era. Goth as you may remember in history has nothing to do with the whole black and emo idea that many think of today. This is also why the lolita style is not always black. Its kinda like here in America where youre a punk or goth or skater if you wear a specific color, but we all know you can wear green and still be a punk or skater.

As for Otaku, it means addict or fan. Thats why there are different types of otaku, such as anime otaku (which is the most popular). Otaku is the equivalent to calling someone a geek or dork. Many juse say geek or dork and people think dungeons and dragons or computer science or playing games like magic and in japan its almost the same thing.

Now as for the american idea of goth. It is based a lot on expression. They do not base it on a specific era in history as the japanese do.

Actually here is a great definition on what a goth is!
