Get the Rolling Rock mug.Goth rock is a sub-genre of post punk music which originated in the UK in the late 70s (specifically 1979).
The first goth song is said to be "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus because even though the song was supposed to be written tongue-in-cheek, the band performed it with naive seriousness and the audience understood it with seriousness.
Goth rock characteristics include a 4 / 4 post punk beat, a drum machine, baritone vocals (common in men, like Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters of Mercy), flanging guitar used for atmosphere and a prominent bassline. Some goth bands use characteristics of tribal music in their work, too (see: Southern Death Cult and Stairs - Uncertain Journey by Christian Death).
Contrary to belief, goth has not "evolved" and throughout the decades, the sound has relatively stayed the same. However, other dark or spooky genres and bands have cropped up throughout those decades which commonly get called "goth". This is false as goth only specifically refers to bands within that genre, not any band that uses a "dark" image or "spooky" lyrical themes.
Bands like Marilyn Manson and EBM bands like God Module are commonly mistaken for "Goth" when they're part of different genres.
The sound for all three of these groups are completely different, therefore could not be considered to be part of the same genre.

It is common for a goth to listen to goth rock, darkwave, deathrock and post punk but they can enjoy genres like metal (symphonic and Gothic in particular), industrial, EBM and synth pop too, just as long as they realise that the latter list are not goth genres.

Get the Goth rock mug.A rock climber, or more frequently someone who’s into ‘bouldering’. The more serious a rock botherer, the more they tend to bother it. They will stare at the rock wall, hug it, groom it, and leave blood, sweat and tears behind on it.
Here come another group of holier-than-thou rock botherers! It’s ok, just keep moving or they’ll stick their heels in your armpit and hang off your jugs.

Get the Rock Informer mug.A term meaning to go to the extreme and give it your all. To go above and beyond 100%. Derived from the saying, "pedal to the metal".
Instead of putting the pedal to the floor, you're using your cock to the maximum. The "rock" comes from the saying, "lets rock!"

"We're gonna head out to the clubs tonight and put THE COCKS TO THE ROCKS!"
