Music With A Dark Atmosphere and Morbid Lyrics. Was first use to describe bands like The Doors, The Velvet Underground, Leonard Cohen and The German Singer Nico in the late Sixties. why'll they were labeled gothic they werent goth they were more Proto-Goth and leventated more towards blues then modern goth rock which is more punk orientated. Modern Gothic Rock was born in the late seventies when punk bands like Joy Division, The Cure, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Bauhaus, Birthday Party and The Damned Experimenting With The Dark Atmosphere and Morbid Lyrics The Doors and The Velvet Underground Did a Decade Before, But Added a More Post Punk and New Wave Sound to It rather then The Psychedelic, Avant Garde and Blues Rock The Doors and The Velvet Underground Where Famous For. Goth Music like Acid Rock, Heavy Metal and Punk Created its own Subculture in the late Seventies and Early Eighties when Fans Of the Music starting dressing in all Black, Using Heavy Amounts of Makeup, Dyeing there Hair Black, Fans Of Victorian Era literature and had a weird obsession with B-Grade Horror Films.
Thoughtout the Eighties, Bands like The Banshees, The Cult, Sisters of Mercy, Southern Death Cult Brought Gothic Rock into the Mainstream. In The 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony The Cure Became The First Goth Rock Band To Be Inducted into the Hall of Fame. Lets Hope Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and The Damned Joined them soon.

A contradiction in terms.
Emos are not gothic, and goths are not emo. They both sprang from the punk subculture, and they both wear a lot of black, but that's where the similarities end.
