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.

What decade did gothic genre become a trend?

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.
