This is pretty much straight synthwave, but it mixes in a couple lines of that song "Cry Little Sister" from the Lost Boys soundtrack, which I've heard being played by several different goth DJs...

You absolutely have. Gerard McMahon's work as a whole may not be specific to any related generas. But cry little sister is iconic for many reasons. From the gothic feel to the fact that it was attached to a very popular vampire horror film. I've had it requested many times DJing.
Synthwave isn't necessarily a problem. Carpenter Brut often has used lovecraftian and horror themes leading to dark, atmospheric and brooding tracks that would fit in any darkwave set. Same for Occams Lazer . We are Magonia has done a lot of straight up gothic mixed with dubstep and metal many times. Though this with the sax reminds me of gunship . Not the most gothy hehe. But they did do a colab with HEALTH . Which often is keyed in to gothic vibes. Their most recent track featured John Carpenter, and the video is a straight up send up of the early 90's. Darksynth definitely has it;s place here.
That sax, though.
"Death by Stereo" is one of my favorite movie quotes.
