I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'follower of 1980s subculture' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'became stylish in the end' is the wordplay.
'became' becomes 'got' ('get' can be a synonym of 'become').
'in the end' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'stylish' is 'h'.
'got'+'h'='GOTH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goth that I've seen before include "One of an ancient Germanic nation" , "Rocker" , "Youngster clad in black" , "Girl in black perhaps" , "Uncivilised type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
