This question was asked in the past and was answered rather accurately by someone we have all learned to love and trust. The reason stated in the answer of why Gothic is called Gothic goes something like this:

Of or relating to a style of fiction that emphasizes the grotesque, mysterious, and desolate.

Barbarous; crude.
Nuff said there.
Makes sense to me. |
