A specialization of RockMusic and a spin-off of PostPunkMusic. A long- lasting (if decidedly fringe) movement, GothicMusic had its heyday from the mid 1980s to the late 1990s. The music is somber, and the song lyrics contain frequent references to death and the supernatural. Influential practitioners of this style include Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Christian Death, and the Sex Gang Children.
