| '''Gothic music''' is a kind of music composed of a lot of genres. | |||
| === Post-Punk === | |||
| During the first wave of punk, roughly spanning 1974–1978, acts such as the ], ], ], ] and ] began to challenge the current styles and conventions of rock music by stripping the musical structure down to a few basic chords and progressions with an emphasis on speed.

Bands such as ] also came within the scope of post-punk, as with several outfits formed in the wake of traditionally punk rock groups: ] was formed by a member of ], for instance, and ] derived from the Sex Pistols. A list of predecessors to the post-punk genre of music might include ], whose album '']'', although released in 1977 at the height of the punk movement, is considered definitively post-punk in style.

| Around 1977, in North America, the New York-led ] movement was also tied in with the emerging eurocentric post-punk movement. With bands and artists such as ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ], and ].

| The original post-punk movement ended as the bands associated with the movement turned away from its aesthetics, just as post-punk bands had originally left punk rock behind in favor of new sounds. Many post-punk bands, most notably ] and ], evolved into ] (formerly a style of the larger post-punk movement) and became identified with the ]. Some shifted to a more commercial ] sound (such as ]), while others were fixtures on American ] and became early examples of alternative rock (such as ]). | |||
