I believe you that the term may not have been used on a flyer before 
then.  But as we all know goth & industrial music history both really 
go back to the late 70's/early 80's at latest (even if they called it 
something different at the time).

There must have been 'dark rock' or industrial music activity in Pgh 
before the "Manny era" - and that's what I'd be really curious to 
hear about, in case anybody is old enough to report on it.

According to my Garden compilation CD, the Garden started in 
'85.  And their first tape is way way goth.
