Sorry Phalkon. It's not really new. Goth Punk came about a little bit before Good Charlotte and co. Well, actually, waaaay before. Try the '70s.
Anyway, punks who dress like goths isn't really new. I'm thinking of Siouxsie Sioux and Dave Vanian, in particular... Then, there were the deathrockers--Christian Death, Shadow Project, etc. Sometimes the Misfits are included, sometimes not.
By the way, it may be worth mentioning that Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson claim Rozz Williams was an influence on their work.

A style of art, popular in Europe from the late 12th century to the early 16th century. It is also known as the International Style. Gothic art is mainly remembered in architecture. It was created by Abbot Sugert (Shu-ger). He planed to renovate the Cathedral of St. Denis, outside of Paris. Other famous gothic cathedrals include: Notre Dame, Chartres, Milan, and Pisa. The "Leaning Tower of Pisa" is actually the bell tower for that cathedral.
Gothic sculpture became more realistic, however, the forms tended to be elongated.
Gothic painting, like sculpture, had elongated forms, and was quite realistic. However, the artists failed to grasp vanishing point perspective. The most famous Gothic painter was Giotto.

A type of alternative style, a mix between indie and goth. Unlike the pastel goth and the bubble goth, a denim goth may dip between both indie and goth styles and mix. They often mix Gothic footwear, jewelry, make up and various clothing items with denim jackets, floral prints, over sized jumpers and a pair of denim shorts.

Goth Music is nothing without motherfucking Bauhaus. In the beginning, there was Bauhaus, thus sayeth the high regents of dark taste. Regarding any other proposed Gothic first band, "Press the Eject and Give Me the Motherfucking sic Tape."
Goth Music can solve all of life's problems if you keep to the bad teachings of Bauhaus: Feeling stressed? Dr. Goth suggests listening to "In the Flat Field." Relationship problems? Try out a bit of ""Bela Lugosi's Dead." Feeling low about the state of the world? Ah, you need some "Ball of Confusion."

A person who has fully committed themselves to the goth subculture and the lifestyle that it entails: leather, buckles, piercings, decorative contact lenses and all. Unlike passive goths, active goths can be identified as goth on-sight.
The elusive active goth can be found at your local Hot Topic. Here we see them walking with a black parasol in their victorian/steampunk casual-wear, petting their plastic ravens and black cats as they go on about the blight of inevitable death and "the man" before they congregate by the hundreds to express their individuality to their goth brethren.

A state of mind. Someone or something that devotes time to or promotes things to the exploration of dark and morbid thoughts, to come to terms with the individuality of oneself and to search for inner beliefs.
Books such as those by Anne Rice, music that could be termed obscure, and literature styles similar to that of Edgar Allen Poe, encourage open minds and self discovery into the often forbidden areas of the mind.
