Tolerate style of rock music with difficulty (2,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

go through

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

'tolerate' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'style of rock music with difficulty' is the wordplay.
'style of rock music' becomes 'goth' (I've seen this before).
'with difficulty' becomes 'rough' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'goth'+'rough'='GO THROUGH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for go through that I've seen before include "be accepted" , "Suffer from" , "Face" , "brave" , "Use up - experience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
