Gothic music is a term applied to any type of music stemming from the goth subculture, a contemporary subculture which itself emerged with the advent of gothic rock in England during the late 1970s.

List of specifically gothic genres

Modern gothic culture is known to have musically developed from, with and through the following genres, to which can be applied the term "gothic":

• Gothic rock
• Deathrock
• Darkwave
• Gothabilly
• Dark folk

While other genres of music exist that have been heavily influenced by the goth subculture, such as Gothic metal, Shoegazing and Dream Pop, these genres cannot be traced back to the original line of musical development within the goth scene.
