Punk and new wave are distinct Music Genres that emerged in the late 1970s. Punk is characterized by its raw, aggressive sound, DIY ethos, and often political lyrics, drawing inspiration from garage rock and early rock and roll. In contrast, new wave incorporates elements of punk but introduces more experimental sounds, synthesizers, and a polished production style, often with a focus on pop sensibilities and fashion. While both genres share a rebellious spirit, new wave tends to be more melodic and eclectic.

A wave that enters a new medium will experience interference. It is the interference that causes the observed phenomenon we observe when a wave enters a new medium.
I think goth began in the early 1980s, during the post-punk period. Punk had its heyday in the seventies, and by 1982, punk as a movement was over. Around this time -- the early eighties -- punk was morphing into two very different styles of music: hardcore punk like Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys, and new-wave bands like Depeche Mode and the Cure. And Depeche Mode and the Cure are basically the archetypal, prototypical goth bands. So, I would say that goth began in the early-to-mid 80s as part of the new wave movement, and then split off into its own genre as the 80s progressed.
