Gothic is a historical artistic style that dominated Western Europe in the 13th-15th centuries. The term "Gothic" appeared during the Italian Renaissance, meaning "barbaric." This term was first used in this sense by Vasari. The Gothic style developed in the north of modern-day France, in the province of Île-de-France.
Who will now argue that the Goths have nothing to do with the Gothic style? They gave this style its name.
Besides the name, the Goths have nothing to do with this style, and to claim that the presence of the Goths is necessary for the existence of Gothic architecture is simply ridiculous.
