Armed with that knowledge, I'd make one final point. While this is a sentiment often voiced by baby bats, it's not completely uncommon to hear subculturalists rail against normality, for no reason other than it's ubiquity. Identifying what you don't like about mass culture can be a useful first step in identity construction; simply resisting for the sake of resisting is ineffectual. This is a kind of inverse determinism, in that who you are isn't defined by anything of substance, rather you are defined by the mainstream you claim to hate, and are thus just as vapid.

Normality is not intrinsically pernicious, and abrogation is not a viable solution. If we were to normalize racial tolerance, would this not be positive for society? To despise or reject normality totally is myopic, rather we should scrutinize cultural, subcultural, and personal ideologies by their substance and effect, rather than reject the framework outright. A subcultural norm can exist either in opposition to, or in concert with, a greater cultural norm. The goal here is to tease apart what we believe, why we believe it, what evidence there is to the contrary, and then update our behaviors accordingly.

This embrace of a skeptical mindset will enrich your life and keep your mind from ossification. In general, I have found this type of questioning and pursuit of knowledge to be implicit to goth, and has personally served me well over the years. I don't view goth as a cognitively lazy culture, which is why I feel striving for a critical mind, rather than the accepting logical fallacies or dearth of knowledge, is something many of us can embrace. We are an intellectually discursive community, and I hope this information will do you well in the future.
