Gothic rock emerged in the late 1970s as a subgenre of post-punk music, characterized by dark, atmospheric sounds and introspective lyrics. Bands like Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees helped popularize the genre with their theatrical performances and distinctive aesthetics. The rise of the goth subculture in the 1980s, marked by fashion, literature, and art that embraced darkness and mystique, further propelled the popularity of gothic rock. Its influence continues to resonate in contemporary music and culture.

Gothic Rock emerged from the post-punk scene in the late 70's - early 80's. The earliest exponents of Gothic Rock were probably Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, The Birthday Party, and Joy Division. Bauhaus arguably had the first defining goth rock song with their release of 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'

Gothic Rock came about as part of the post-punk movement in the 1970s. It was the main influence on what would later become known as Industrial. Gothic Metal is a term which first came about when Paradise Lost released their album Gothic in the early 1990s. Now, most so-called "Gothic Metal" bands are neither gothic nor Metal. Gothmetal.net, for example, has a tendency to list any band with a female singer as such, which is a bit absurd.
One might argue that in terms of chart success,Evanescence wasthe most successful overtly Gothic rock bands. For longevity and influence, it'd be The Cure, Joy Division, or Bauhaus. The earliest rock band with a Gothic tone is probably The Velvet Underground."Arguably", Evanescence is not goth rock, therefore Siouxsie and the Banshees or Sisters of Mercy would be more realistic alternative answers.
