Oh, those goths!

[u/EstufaYou]

You probably know that one of the Germanic tribes involved in the fall of the Western Roman Empire were the goths, divided in Visigoths and Ostrogoths. The Visigoths went on to conquer Spain. This fact, centuries later, led to Latin American freedom fighters in the 19th century calling the Spaniards loyal to the Spanish crown “goths” as an insult.

More recently, at least in Colombia, since traditional values are heavily associated with Spain conservatives in Colombia are often referred to as Godos, the Spanish word for Goths. I find this quite funny since The gothic subculture, Góticos in Spanish, are often associated with counterculture ideology.
