Loli is short for lolita, which is the name of a book by Vladimir Nabokovwhich involes a a much older man getting involved with a 12 year old. Thus people having a "lolita" complex, or a LoliCon like you see in anime fandom. (Really it's gross). Thus in Loli Goth it refers to the style of clothes a young girl (12) might wear COMBINED with the modern Gothic look of dark colors and halloweeny themes.

There can be Sweet Lolitas which range into the more into pastels and baby doll style.
