Goth (sometimes called Goth Rock or Gothic Rock) is a genre of rock music that originated during the late 1970s. Originally bands from the genre were referred to as positive-punk by the music press and had strong ties to the English punk rock and emerging post-punk styles.
The genre itself was defined as a separate movement from Punk Rock during the early 1980s. Some Goth bands were more artful and introspective than Punk Rock. Gothic rock dealt with dark themes and intellectual movements such as gothic horror, Romanticism, existential philosophy, and nihilism. Notable gothic rock bands include Bauhaus, The Cure, Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy, and Fields of the Nephilim.
