  • Gothic rock (also referred to as goth rock or simply goth) is a musical subgenre of post-punk and alternative rock that formed during the late 1970s. Gothic rock bands grew from the strong ties they had to the English punk rock and emerging post-punk scenes. According to both Pitchfork and NME, proto-goth bands are Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees,Bauhaus, The Cure and The Damned.
  • Gothic rock is a subgenre of Post-punk music, which in itself is a subgenre of Punk. The Gothic Rock genre is said to have started in 1979 in England with the release of the single Bela Lugosi's Dead by the band Bauhaus, however this is under debate. Goth in the United States started in California in the early 80's with the Deathrock scene, with bands such as 45 Grave, Christian Death and Kommunity Fk releasing records. The Goth label has been used wrongly to describe many artists, such as Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, however these artists are closer to Industrial rock/metal in sound.

According to both Pitchfork and NME, proto-goth bands are Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees,Bauhaus, The Cure and The Damned. The genre itself was defined as a separate movement from punk rock during the early 1980s largely due to the significant stylistic divergences of the movement; gothic rock, as opposed topunk, combines dark, often keyboard-heavy music with introspective, dark and mostly romantic lyrics. Gothic rock then gave rise to a broader subculture that included clubs, fashion and numerous publications that grew in popularity in the 1980s.
