Shut up if you don't like the genre. You're not accomplishing anything.

Deathrock is NOT interchangeable with Gothic Rock. Gothic Rock: Born out of post-punk and glam rock, later influenced by psychedelia, became its own genre when angsty themes were added. Bands either stick to the post-punk side (Bauhaus), psychedelia side (The Sisters) or angst side (Nosferatu) Deathrock: Born out of horrorpunk, soon became avant-garde and recently adopted a heavy synth presence. Bands either stick to the horrorpunk side (45 Grave), the avant-garde side (Cinema Strange) or the synth side (Phantom Vision). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HELL YEAH!

deleted-user is right. It's not a fusion genre of goth and punk per say. It was originally not directly interchangeable with goth. It evolved out of the US punk scene completely unaware of the stuff occurring in the UK. In fact it had nothing to do with goth until a US band visited and played the batcave, when the two scenes started influencing each other. HOWEVER, due to recent events (read: marilyn manson, mallgoths, evanesance) many have started to adopt "deathrock" to refer to both the original goth bands AND deathrock bands. Others have started to refer to bands as "batcave" as a genre and not just a club, regardless if they played there or not. Who cares -- because, for now, we have some great music in this tag :>

The crucial difference between deathrock and gothic rock is that the deathrock bands come from the US. Are there some more? I don't think so.
