Oh yeah, a lot of my non-goth friends like the german stuff with the bag
pipes.  Start them out with Ramstein, then move to Tanzwut, Corax,
wolfsheim, lacrimosa, etc.  There were a hole bunch of us dancing around my
psychadelic room listenng to Corvis corax.

Since I'm not a "true goth" or a true anything ... save being a random
chipmunk, I have no clue.  There's stuff, for example, that's played on the
goth chanel on spinner.com tha I wouldn't consider goth.  Lables, while
being usefull, tend to be subjective.

Let me tell you something.  At my old college, there were some people who
would practice babpipes in the pizza place.
This was a rather small area and bagpipes can be rather loud.  All I
remember was that you'd have 3 or 4 bagpipe players and they'd be slightly
out of pitch with each other.  At the time, I hated bagpipes more than any
other musical instrament!
