Gothic music is an umbrella term which is used within the gothic subuculture in attempt to classify music that is part of that subculture. There are a large number of genres and offshoots of music that developed out of the goth subculture since its beginnings, though most often certain genres are distinguished from being "goth" or not in their nature based on the level of influence and line of descent in modern musical history. The following genres are the most widely accepted as being "gothic":
