Goth Punk (or Gothic Punk) is the definition of the roots of dark punk, which is what Goth is. They were originally called DEATHROCKERS, or DEATH PUNKS. In the beginning heydays of punk rock(late 1970's/early 1980's) there were bands like TSOL from Orange County, Siouxsie & The Banshees from the UK, and Chritian Death from L.A. They created a dark form of punk that had defied the borders of the Anarcho/Peace Punks (from the UK), and American Hardcore punks (espeically the Anit-Fashion types) tastes.
Musically, the term goth punk today helps define the sound of bands that have an old school hardcore punk (aka street punk or Thrash) sound with dark lyrics and optionally added keyboard/symphonic samples and electronics. Since goth has strayed away from its punk roots with the rise of Nu-Metal, EBM, and Emo-Pop, the rebellious reaction is more extremely "punk" style goth bands arising in the underground.

Preppy girls and boys who sometimes sport Ramones t-shirts because Carson Daily made punk rock cool. They have no concept of punk rock, the punk attitude, or anything associated with it. All they know is that Skyler in sophomore English class is way hot, and he wears a Fall Out Boy shirt and sings in a band called "As My Eyelashes Turn To Dust and Blow Away in the Summer Winds."
Michelle started wearing a My Chemical Romance shirt when she saw Maddy in her bio class wearing one. She couldn't find one at Abercrombie though, so she had get it elsewhere. Her parents were worried, but Michelle promised she'd always remain a preppy punk for her love Maddy.

Get the Street Punk mug.One who falls into the label of the punk scene. Traditional punkers wore 501 levis or tight plad pants known as bondage trousers. They usually have their hair in some sort of spike form, be it "Plain spikes", a 'hawk or liberty spikes, although the hair can be anything, these are the most popular. Most punkers are againts "Selling out", the act of giving into main stream things, such as buying high priced clothes or being "trendy". To day, being a "Punker" dosent have the same meaning that it did 30 years ago. Most "Punkers" to day will buy high priced "Punker clothes" at trendy stores or with hold the "Fuck the goverment and society" idea.

Get the punk mug.Virtually any form of punk living in the suburban town of Deptford in southern New Jersey; they're typically lazy, don't really do anything, have no sort of interest when it come to politics...they just like to look punx as fuck. They can be seen standing outside the Deptford Mall in the the infamous "Deptford Punx stance", which consists of standing with their legs spread as wide as they can go in a "V" shape, trying to look punx as hell. But most know that their moms and dads bought them that Crass backpatch along with their sparkling new Doc Martins from Hot Topic, despite their claims that they "stole" them and it was "punx as fuck".
