How long have you got? V broad church but it is defined by snobs and haters as being the young cousin of 80s Goth. Though that is only half the story as it is, from what I see, as much a cultural and social thing as a musical genre and owes a fair bit to the Washington Punk scene culturally. Though belongs to a much more melodic lineage than that in indie rock terms. Some Cure and SoM influences but not dominant.
