Death rock
Death Rock (also sometimes known as Deathrock, or Death Punk) is a term used to distinguish conventional Gothic rock from the more punk influenced scene that sprang up on the Americann west coast in the early 80's. The style is currently seeing a resurgence of sorts, as more punk influenced goth bands begin to appear as a reaction to the growing influence of EBM and techno in goth music.
The style also often extends to a number of pure punk bands such as The Misfits, who deal in the same kind of morbid imagery that the LA Death rock groups traded in.
